Continuing our series of “Talent” articles for Members, our focus turns to an unlikely source of Fantasy potential, who has only recently blinked on our radars. Newcastle’s Jonas Gutierrez has been a key component in their successful season thus far and, in recent weeks, has done enough to suggest that his game has undergone a transformation.
In this article, we raid the data available to our Members, examining our own ICT Index and the Opta performance statistics, to examine how Gutierrez has suddenly emerged as a Fantasy prospect. Crucially, we also compare him to team-mate Yohan Cabaye, who, up until now, had been considered the weapon of choice in the Magpies midfield.
