Our verdict on Botman
Chosen Esiwe
Sven Botman has started 7 of Newcastle's 8 league games this season and averages 90 minutes when he does. That is about as secure as a starting place gets. At £5.0m and owned by just 0.8% of managers, he is a genuine differential.
His FPL form, the average points per game over the last 30 days, stands at 3.7. That ranks 27th of 135 defenders who are playing regularly. Solid, if not spectacular. He has 1 clean sheet and 0 bonus points so far.
He costs exactly what he did at the start of the season.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces EVE (H), FUL (A), ARS (H), BHA (A) and MUN (H). That is a tough run, and points will be harder to come by.
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.
