Can Alexander be Great? 🇸🇪

After his recently impressive debut vs LIV, Rey analyses whether the Swede is an asset #FPL managers should consider.

#GW6
Isak has been a player I have been looking at since December of last year. He was strongly linked with Arsenal and I was very keen on the gunners to sign him.

For the #FM22 enthusiasts, he’s incredible in the game 🤷🏻‍♂️
Once NEW signed the striker, I was very keen to analyse his movements during the game and if he is fit for the intensity and physicality of the #PremierLeague
With a favourable FDR, Alexander could be a super differential for the coming weeks, especially with fellow teammate Wilson currently injured.
A consistent behaviour of Isak was to position himself in the wide left areas and start to penetrate into the offensive spaces.

Mostly with a habit to cut on to his favoured right foot.
Despite the lack of touches (to be expected against LIV away), the Swede certainly did not shy away from getting involved in attacking areas.

Considering he had only signed 5 days earlier, I was pleasantly surprised by the energetic exuberance that Isak consistently portrayed.
Strength

Isak did not hesitate in adopting a physical approach when necessary.

The images below show a willingness to take on the likes of VVD and Fabinho for strength and aggression.

Positive signs for #FPL managers as he can adapt his style depending on the opposition.
Positioning & Dribbling

Isak consistently drove with the ball and succeeded with his dribbles and acceleration past LIV.

The swede is not only a “Target man” but can also play off the shoulder due to his impressive speed off the ball.
Goal

The understanding of positioning for the goal was exemplary.

Isak placed himself to offensively progress the play once the ball was received, then showed his clinical prowess to score.

Super signs for potential #FPL owners.
Disallowed goal

I mentioned earlier about Isak’s strength. This goal however was the combination of speed, composure and balance.

Such a shame it was offside as Isak portrayed “ice cool” composure to score the goal.

I think we can expect this movement going forward 🇸🇪
“He looked really good, We didn’t anticipate him playing the whole game, he hadn’t done a huge amount of training since he joined us.”

“I think he picked up a bit of a knock, a dead leg, during the game as well so we wanted to protect him, but he looks a special player.”
Conclusion

I really like Isak as a player. I don’t see a weakness in his game as he has the combination of power and grace.

As an #FPL asset, I think he will be a bandwagon to jump on very soon.

With CRY, whu & BOU the next 3 fixtures - it could be the perfect time to act 🤷🏻‍♂️
Personally, I am looking to 🚾 in GW9.

Thus, he is an asset that could come in as soon as #GW6 depending on team news.

Isak currently has a dead leg but should recover by the weekend.
Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts on Isak 💭

🗣️ New thread #FPL

Can we start the season without Haaland? 👀

@FPL_BFBooby explores his strategy on starting the season without the Norwegian.

#FPLCommunity Image
You don’t have to start with Haaland.

There I’ve said it, and already I can hear the frantic typing of FPL managers across the Twittersphere telling me I might as well quit already.

But is there a world where not starting with him is actually the best strategy? Image
Gameweek 1 Away

Away from Home Haaland performed
· 36% worse for goals
· 50% worse for braces
· 0 hattricks
· 66% worse for assists

(Granted 14 goals away is still phenomenal) Image

1. Plan long term!

Might be an obvious start but something I think a lot of people overlook.

Especially at the beginning, unless you plan to WC very early it’s always good to plan for those first 5 GWs. Look at fixtures, when you plan to transfer someone in/out and how much…
Money you will need either ITB or whether the outgoing player covers it. Don’t forget there will be price rises and falls during that time so make sure you take that into consideration before doing any rash moves.
