Our verdict on Virgil
Chosen Esiwe
Virgil van Dijk has started 8 of Liverpool's 8 league games this season and averages 90 minutes when he does. Minutes are not a worry here. He costs £6.4m and sits in 15.1% of teams.
His FPL form, the average points per game over the last 30 days, stands at 4.3. That ranks 24th of 135 defenders who are playing regularly. Solid, if not spectacular. He has 4 clean sheets and 1 bonus point so far.
His price has dropped £0.1m since the start of the season.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces ARS (H), CRY (A), MUN (H), EVE (A) and SUN (H). It is a mixed spell, with good and awkward games side by side.
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.
