Our verdict on De Cuyper
Chosen Esiwe
Maxim De Cuyper has started 8 of Brighton's 8 league games this season and averages 84 minutes when he does. Minutes are not a worry here. At £5.3m he is owned by 42.6% of managers, so he is a core pick for a big part of the game.
His FPL form, the average points per game over the last 30 days, stands at 7.3. That ranks 3rd of 135 defenders who are playing regularly. Very few at his position are scoring more right now. He has 5 clean sheets and 8 bonus points so far. His returns are running ahead of what the chances suggest, so a quieter spell would not be a surprise.
His price has gone up £0.8m since the start of the season. Managers are piling in, with 76,156 more transfers in than out this gameweek, so further rises are likely.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces MCI (A), BRE (H), HUL (A), NEW (H) and BOU (A). It is a mixed spell, with good and awkward games side by side.
Every figure here comes from the official Fantasy Premier League data and refreshes as the week goes on. We judge minutes first, then form against others in the same position, price movement and the next five fixtures.
