Position
🔶MG played the majority of last season as a RW, scoring 7 goals from inside the box.
🔶This season he played ST as a false 9 GW 1 & 3 and played out wide GW 2,4 & 5.
Him moving to ST explains his improved underlying stats GW 1-3.
Involvement - RW
I looked at GW 2 v sou [no CR7] and GW 5 v whu [with CR7] as both games were away with similar game state:
🔶MG is less fwd as a RW with CR7 on the pitch.
🔶With CR7, MG is more involved in the build up rather than the final third.
🔶Shaw is now on all corners
Involvement - RW (Part 2)
🔶In 20/21, 10.8% of MG's touches are in the box, compared to 9.4% in GW 4-5 which represents a 13% drop off.
Eye Test
🔶WHU forced MUN to build up from the right this weekend, but it's clear the intention is to go to the Left for the final ball.
Eye Test (cont.)
🔶It comes to no surprise to find that for that WHU game the most crosses came from Bruno (6) and Shaw (5) with only 1 from MG and that MG had only 1 touch in the box.
🔶MG did make a few good runs tho where he unfortunately didn't receive the ball.
MG in FPL terms
Rn, I think MG is our 5th best asset to own after CR7, Bruno, Shaw and Pogba who are likely to hog the ball a lot more and with #Jlingz coming into form and Sancho slowly getting used to the Prem, it won't be long until he loses his spot
Imo Medium priority sell

Underlining Statistics.
I did not this it was this clear who will come out on top:
Other remarks:
- Liverpool lost Wijnaldum V/S United reinforced with Sancho who comes in with a bag of assists.
- Jota is quite a selfish player compared to Bobby [4-2-3-1]/ Wij [4-4-2]
- No Robbo no party?
- LFC's ageing squad will make it more difficult to play high press?
