Our verdict on Maitland-Niles
Chosen Esiwe
Ainsley Maitland-Niles has started 4 of Everton's 8 league games this season and averages 77 minutes when he does. He is in and out of the side, which makes him difficult to trust from week to week. He costs £4.5m and is owned by just 1.4% of managers.
His FPL form, the average points per game over the last 30 days, stands at 1.7. That ranks 67th of 135 defenders who are playing regularly. Middle of the pack, in other words. He has 2 clean sheets and 2 bonus points so far. His returns are running ahead of what the chances suggest, so a quieter spell would not be a surprise.
He costs exactly what he did at the start of the season. He has lost 5,467 net transfers this gameweek.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces NEW (A), COV (H), BRE (A), LIV (H) and AVL (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.
