He's miles better than Mbeumo. I've been bigging him up for months.

Yeah he's very very two footed, part of why he's such an effective dribbler as he really can go both ways and cause havoc. Think he compliments a Tel too rather than replaces him. We need multiple options for CL and PL next year.

Saw this on something about Wirtz weirdly enough:
Assume that’s Hutchinson from Ipswich up there, not a bad player In a dire team.

Surprised to see Carlton Palmer in the mix!

The quirk of that chart, is that you actually want to be below the (effective) line of best fit.
There's understandably a very strong corrolation between receiving the ball in that space, and making a dangerous pass. No surprise. So really, as much as anything else, it's a comment on who's playing a system with an obvious creative fulcrum 'between the lines'. Also obviously their movement, and the nack of receiving the ball I suppose.
That said, to be receiving less ball in those positions, and still providing a high portion of dangerous passes, is most impressive.
It's the likes of Rogers, Damsgaard and Yildiz that pretty good on that basis.

Paz is a real talent, would love us to go for him. He’s a big guy and would suit the PL but he’s a pure AM tho.

Home grown, association trained. A fantastic footballer and another plus is that Ghana didn't qualify for the AFCON finals.

Is he not slightly haphazard? Amazing athlete, but I'd rather someone (1) left footed and (2) a bit more technical

Good player but if we are gonna spend big on 1 player, love us to go for Eze. A different player to Semenyo but considering budget allocation...

He’s the best option in the league for us in terms of realistic players we could attract from teams of lower status. He has way more to his game than Mbeumo which I believe means he will adapt better to playing for a top team, especially a possession based one. I can’t really see Mbeumo replicating his recent season if he moves to a big club whereas I think Semenyo is poised to go up another level in a better team.

It is a no from me.....I backed him in FPL last year and he was hot and cold. As soon as I sold him, he went red hot.
I have yet to forgive him.

He's right-footed but very strong on his left - watch some of the goals he's scored. He also has 5* weak foot on FIFA.

Not a massive fan of Semenyo to us. Very streaky, lacks composure, not fantastic technically apart from running at speed with the ball, and only really effective when he's got plenty of space.
He's perfect for a counter-attacking team, but seeing as half the teams we meet sit back, I don't believe the fit is great.
