Our verdict on Wharton
Chosen Esiwe
Adam Wharton has started 8 of Crystal Palace's 8 league games this season and averages 88 minutes when he does. That is about as secure as a starting place gets. At £5.4m and owned by just 0.7% of managers, he is a genuine differential.
Over the last 30 days he has averaged 3.7 points a game, which puts him 33rd out of 159 regular midfielders. He is comfortably in the top half. Underneath the points, his expected goal involvement of 0.18 per 90 minutes ranks 88th in the same group. 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). There is nothing there to be afraid of.
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.
