Comparing Alexander-Arnold and Robertson’s FPL points potential for 2021/22

Just one point separated Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) last season but the former remains more expensive than the latter in Fantasy Premier League ahead of 2021/22.

Ever since the two Liverpool full-backs emerged as premium defenders, their hefty prices have often forced managers to decide which one is more worthy of investment.

Only Stuart Dallas scored more points among defenders than the pair last season but their latest prices have, once again, made a double-up a challenging prospect for our budgets.

Accordingly, ahead of the new campaign, we have compared Robertson and Alexander-Arnold for creativity and goal threat to see if either has the edge over the other.

      Nice read. TAA is usually one of the first names I select at the beginning of a season nowadays, most likely start with him this season too assuming he's fully fit.

        Drafts without him look good but can't bring myself to go without after his exploits at the end of last season - and that was without VVD, Hendo and co.

      Main decision in most drafts will be - 2 pretty good attackers 343/352 vs Bruno/KDB and a decent Defender 442/433.

      Flexibility of 343 is pretty valued to me, but no Bruno is a risk for sure.

        our team will be affected by how the european championship goes. so just relaxed, have a sensing of the price, make a flexible team structure so that you can slot in the correct players at the correct time

        Firmino is just always a terrible pick. But yeah Jota should be 8.5m or 9.0m. I'd say he's fairly similar to Mahrez/Havertz type of players - high potential, volatile minutes.
