Moneyball – Adel Taarabt

The key factor for a player to appear in this series is to have a visible (or at least perceived) flaw which we believe is either over-emphasised or could end in the coming weeks. We’ve highlighted Jason Puncheon who lacked guaranteed minutes but has shone since securing his place in the Southampton first team. Leon Osman’s ‘flaw’ is simply being unfashionable in a side full of more exciting options, yet he is nipping at the heels of the more fancied Steven Pienaar and even Nikica Jelavic in total points.

This week’s player has a number of such flaws, though most of them are of no concern to us. Adel Taarabt is the prototypical mercurial talent; equally happy playing the part of a sublime match winner as that of frustrating prospect, doomed to never align his end product with his obvious talent.

      Either. But with Walcott's inury/can't play rate the former would be better in the short run, maybe. Probably not helpful.

    Just wanted to clear this up, Bunn is now Norwich's first choice keeper right? i thought Rudd was 2nd choice last year so wondering how secure Bunn is over the next few months.

      Most sold player today in the markets so a lot are jumping ship.....don't thinks he's worth it. A clean sheet is worth more points than an assist....an Everton ain't keeping clean sheet and their fixtures suggest they ain't gonna start either.

      Goals are the only thing that could repay faith in Baines cos assists as I said are worth less than CS.

        Didn't Harry sell him when he was at Spurs though? I think he got annoyed with Taarabt doing his own thing and not playing for the team. Admittedly he had a rather better squad at Spurs, so he could do without Taarabt; maybe doesn't have the same luxury at QPR.

      I'd get Enrique for a hit to be honest. He has been heavily involved in the Liverpool attacking past weeks, OOP-ness, price rising and Liverpool's fixtures. Think chances are very slim for CS for those two.

      I´m considering that move too for a hit... I think I just may go with it because if he gets a goal or an assist it´ll compensate the hit rather than playing a weaker defender.
