Analysing the Eye Test https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧐" title="Gesicht mit Monokel" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Monokel">: Timo Werner

I have looked at 3 games from this year for Leipzig; Spurs (PL comparison), then Dortmund and Augsburg

His stats were:

Spurs: 1 assist, 5 shots
Dortmund: 1 shot
Augsburg: 2 goals, 4 shots

3 things stood out to me....

1) Dropping for the ball & hunger for the ball

Werner shows a lot of desire for the ball, often demanding it from his teammates, following the ball across the pitch and connecting the play, often looking like more of a false 9 than an out an out 9....

This can bode well for FPL in that he is often involved in attacking play with the ball, but means that he can drop out of more dangerous positions to score points. Given his track record I think this is more of a positive than a negative.....

2) Movement to get behind the defence

He has pace to get behind the defence with well-timed runs. However, teams in the PL will play deeper so he will need to show more quick, clever movements around the box, which he has shown flashes of.

3) Selfishness in shooting

He averaged 3.6 shots per game last season, and he showed a selfishness which you like to see in strikers. A few times he could have played a teammate in, but took the shot, similar to Salah in this way. For FPL we like this a lot!

Overall, I like Werner, with Chelsea’s nice fixtures and improving in midfield. I think they score a lot and he will be at the heart of that. He could also be on pens although Havertz could too, if he joins.

Will you start with Werner?
