Our verdict on Xhaka
Chosen Esiwe
Granit Xhaka has started 8 of Sunderland's 8 league games this season and averages 90 minutes when he does. Minutes are not a worry here. He costs £5.4m and sits in 3.0% of teams.
Over the last 30 days he has averaged 2.3 points a game, which puts him 68th out of 159 regular midfielders. He is ticking over rather than flying. Underneath the points, his expected goal involvement of 0.21 per 90 minutes ranks 81st in the same group. His returns trail what his chances suggest, which often means better weeks are on the way.
His price has dropped £0.1m since the start of the season. He has lost 7,940 net transfers this gameweek.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces COV (A), CHE (H), AVL (A), TOT (H) and LIV (A). 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.
