Our verdict on Grimes
Chosen Esiwe
Matt Grimes has been in the Coventry City starting eleven for 8 of their 8 league matches, staying on for 88 minutes on average. His spot in the side looks safe. At £4.8m and owned by just 0.1% of managers, he is a genuine differential.
Over the last 30 days he has averaged 2.0 points a game, which puts him 78th out of 159 regular midfielders. He is ticking over rather than flying. Underneath the points, his expected goal involvement of 0.05 per 90 minutes ranks 141st in the same group. His returns trail what his chances suggest, which often means better weeks are on the way. He also takes corners and indirect free kicks, which adds assist potential.
His price has dropped £0.2m since the start of the season.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces SUN (H), EVE (A), CRY (H), LEE (A) and IPS (H). There is nothing there to be afraid of.
Every figure here comes from the official Fantasy Premier League data and refreshes as the week goes on. We judge minutes first, then form against others in the same position, price movement and the next five fixtures.
