Our verdict on Rúben
Chosen Esiwe
Rúben dos Santos Gato Alves Dias has been in the Man City starting eleven for 8 of their 8 league matches, staying on for 90 minutes on average. That is about as secure as a starting place gets. He costs £5.5m and sits in 2.0% of teams.
His FPL form, the average points per game over the last 30 days, stands at 2.7. That ranks 46th of 135 defenders who are playing regularly. Solid, if not spectacular. He has 3 clean sheets and 0 bonus points so far. His returns trail what his chances suggest, which often means better weeks are on the way.
He costs exactly what he did at the start of the season.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces BHA (H), NFO (A), FUL (H), ARS (A) and LEE (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.
