      He's keeping pace with Saka, but not Odegaard. Given his price fine to keep & double-up with Odegaard?

      If you have a FT feel fee to move to Saka who is of course marginally better with pens.

    Everybody mocking Martinelli. If you only compare to Saka the points were 21v18 for Martinelli after wc restart. Also Saka's assists today were both very lucky.

    Ode is of course dominating but Saka v Martinelli still quite tight also if you take price into consideration.

      I'm a Martinelli owner, but he just doesn't seem half as lively during the game. Feel like I've robbed Saka owners of 2m every time he does something, more often than not it feels undeserving.

      Why were his assists today lucky? First one is controversial but he was still drilling it across the 6 yard box and the second one is nothing lucky about it just a sidewards pass

        First one should have been denied by Lloris. Good effort still from Saka.

        Second one. With lucky I mean it was a basic side ways pass maybe 30-40m from goal and it was pure Ode goal. "Assister could have been anyone".

        But yep, Saka more involved and you get more chances for this kind of FPL points when attacks run through you.
