Midfielders 4.5 to 6.5 M (4th and 5th Mids)

You know I love numbers right and Ppm. Today i thought i would dissect the cheap mids

So, Firstly the 4.5& #39;s

Firstly the home truths. Given the rotation risk its very unlikely we will hit 25Ppm (which would give you 90 pts/Season)

Stephens (Bri) tops the list at 73% Apps over the season (& 71% post lockdown)

Oriol Romeu (Sou) Is 2nd at 62% Apps over the season (& 70% post lockdown

Rotation however is calculated for this thread using Post lockdown numbers..

so moving straight to Ppm extrapolated to a full season and then deducting post lock rotation (%) we now reorder there is nothing to https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

1. Oriol Romeu (Sou) 14.5 Ppm
2. Smallbone (Sou) 13.7 Ppm
3. Stephens (Bri) 13.6 Ppm

so it doesnt look good for the 4.5& #39;s lets move on...

Adding the 5.0& #39;s into the mix and again look for Rotation risk post lockdown Soucek (WHU) and Rice (WHU) stand out at >90% time on pitch

But what does this do to value ? Ppm

well not alot, but what it does show is that we can confine the 4.5& #39;s to the https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗑️" title="Papierkorb" aria-label="Emoji: Papierkorb"> for Soucek (WHU) (twice the value) and to a lesser extent Rice (WHU)

Lets add the 5.5& #39;s next

Looking at Rotation risk (post lock) Soucek and Rice stay top of the pile even with the 5.5& #39;s, although we say hello to Armstrong (Sou) and Trezeguet (AV) but what about value Ppm ?

Well HELLO Mr Podence... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧨" title="Firecracker" aria-label="Emoji: Firecracker">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen"> who rockets straight to the top over Soucek given his time on the pitch and returns. Armstrong and Trezeguet also bin the 4.5& #39;s for good IMO. St Maximin and Saka just get on the list..?

Lets add the 6.0& #39;s ....

Now we see Almiron and Trossard appear on the list of time on pitch but no real headline here. lets quickly turn to value... Ppm

Trossard (BRI) is a respectable 5th ( 20.9Ppm) but cannot catch Podence and Soucek.

Finally the 6.5& #39;s which brings us to Foden!

Well no surprise here Foden only was on the pitch 60pct of the time post lockdown so doesnt make the Rotation table. Bowen (WHU) and Redmond (Sou) however do with 93 and 90% appearance time.

and turning to value (Ppm)

Podence stays top on projected Ppm for 6.5 Mids and below at 36.9 Ppm (which is ridiculous!) but shows how good his returns were https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧨" title="Firecracker" aria-label="Emoji: Firecracker"> compared to https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⏲️" title="Tischuhr" aria-label="Emoji: Tischuhr">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet">

Foden now comes in 4th at 24.5Ppm based on post lockdown BUT if he gets morehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⏲️" title="Tischuhr" aria-label="Emoji: Tischuhr"> then its https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen">

PHEW.. so to conclude...

Midfielders 6.5 and below Ppm

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥇" title="Goldmedaille" aria-label="Emoji: Goldmedaille"> Podence (WOL)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥈" title="Silbermedaille" aria-label="Emoji: Silbermedaille"> Soucek (WHU)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥉" title="Bronzemedaille" aria-label="Emoji: Bronzemedaille">Amstrong (SOU)

BUT if Foden gets 10 percent more time on the pitch he jumps into https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥈" title="Silbermedaille" aria-label="Emoji: Silbermedaille">

and if you havent now worked it out, Soucek is a 5.0 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Ziege" aria-label="Emoji: Ziege">

If you https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen">do Like and RT.

I would add if you are (or even want to) play 3.5.2 then Soucek is as low as you go! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Ziege" aria-label="Emoji: Ziege">
