Time for another look at ownership (“Teams Selected by %”) to see which players are in demand and who are being jettisoned…
Romelu Lukaku is still top of the ownership chart and over the last few days has regained earlier losses to sit in nearly half (48%) of teams once more.
Dele Alli (38.3%), Harry Kane (34.2%) and Philippe Coutinho (33.2%) are the next highest-owned players, but although Coutinho has risen by 3.4% since day one, there has been little movement in the Spurs pair.
Hot Properties
Kieron Trippier continues to show the biggest gain – up from an opening 6.6% to 19.1% by this morning. Kyle Walker is up from 10.6% to 18.7%, though interest has slowed in the last few days and may be peaking.
Everton’s returning Wayne Rooney, despite a small dip at the end of last week, has risen from an early 15.5% to a current ownership of 21.3%. And benefitting from his own sharp performance, as well as Eden Hazard’s early season absence and an injury to Pedro in Beijing, Chelsea’s Willian has doubled his ownership from 6.4% to 13.3%.
Some new players have been added to the game this week, and it is probably no surprise to see Alvaro Morata jump quickly to a 9.3% ownership. Joe Hart has also gained an enthusiastic following of 5.6%, which will also likely rise further.
Not quite so spectacular, but showing steadily increasing ownership, are N’Golo Kante (up from 10.9% to 14.2%), Mohamed Salah (11.4% to 14.5%) and the popular defensive makeweight Angel Rangel (16.6% to 19.0%).
Damp Squibs
Several players have been flagged as injured, and thus top the list of those being ejected from our teams.
Gareth McAuley, Anthony Knockaert, Matt Ritchie and Nathaniel Clyne all fall into this category.
But Alexis Sanchez has also dropped significantly – down from 19.0% to 14.9%.
Nathan Ake, Juan Mata, Jermain Defoe, Jordan Pickford and Gabriel Jesus are also showing steady decline in interest levels.
I’ll maybe try to include some charts in my next update…
