Our verdict on Richards
Chosen Esiwe
Chris Richards has been in the Crystal Palace starting eleven for 8 of their 8 league matches, staying on for 90 minutes on average. Minutes are not a worry here. At £4.9m and owned by just 0.6% of managers, he is a genuine differential.
His FPL form, the average points per game over the last 30 days, stands at 3.0. That ranks 40th of 135 defenders who are playing regularly. Solid, if not spectacular. He has 1 clean sheet and 0 bonus points so far. His returns trail what his chances suggest, which often means better weeks are on the way.
His price has dropped £0.1m since the start of the season.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces TOT (A), LIV (H), COV (A), HUL (H) and CHE (A). That is a fair run of games.
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.
