COST

Isak £7.0m
Mitrovic £6.9m
Toney £7.2m

All three assets fall in the mid range bracket for forwards. Mitrovic pips value for money saving you £0.3 over Toney that can be spent elsewhere.

A quick attacking stat comparison on @FFScout shows us the following:

Our analysis of Isak based off of stats in the PL will unfortunately be fairly limited. However from the above graphic based on the first 6 game weeks it is clear that we can deduce:

Mitrovic is the greatest goal threat with the most:

Goals
xGI
Goal Attempts
Shots in the box
Touches in the penalty area

Toney adds creativity to his attacking numbers with the most:

Chances created
Total assists

Next lets take a look at fixtures ranked according to difficulty of defences faced over the next 10 game weeks:

1. Isak (Newcastle) on top here with great attacking fixtures over the next 10 game weeks.
2. Mitrovic (Fulham) with incredible fixtures ahead.
3. Toney (Brentford) with a mixed bag of fixtures however after GW8 they go on a decent run until GW16.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Our algorithm projects the following points scored over the next 6 Game weeks:

Mitrovic 32.01
Toney 29,92
Isak 22,85

Additional considerations:

Both Mitrovic and Toney are on penalties. Toney is dangerous from free kicks as he proved in GW6.

Isak has limited data, however passes the eye test having looked great in the first 2 fixtures. Likely gets pushed out wide when WIlson returns.

In conclusion:

Based off of all the above considerations our ranking is as follows

1. Aleksander Mitrovic
2. Ivan Toney
3. Alexander Isak

We believe the value in the mid class forward bracket to be incredibly high this season especially over the next 10 game weeks which is

why the Banter team will look to capitalise by selecting 2/3 of the above mentioned players for our wildcard.

1. Aleksander Mitrovic breezes into the team with the golden combination of incredible stats and fixtures ahead.

2. Alexander Isak GW8 to Ivan Toney GW9

Isak is

a nice differential (5,4% ownership) and will lead the line against Bournemouth who have conceded the most goals (18) in the league so far.

In GW9 we will transfer Isak out for Toney who faces Bournemouth in GW9. This allows us to field both against a porous Bournemouth defence

TL;DR:

Great value in the mid priced forward bracket means we will select 2 of them for our wildcard team.

1. Mitrovic - best stats and great run of fixtures
2. GW8 Isak vs Bournemouth - Immediate transfer in GW9 to Toney vs Bournemouth
