Will I be joining the 18.7% owning the #FPL 7th most popular midfielder overall and going for Allan Saint-Maximin as my budget choice?
FUCK NO!!!!
I’m going with Stuart Armstrong, who’s not even in the top 30 most owned mids.
Here’s why you should too…

His name is spelled Stuart, not Stewart.
As in House of Stuart. King James VI of Scotland also became King James of I of England in 1603, which led to the UK being formed.
So he’s basically fucking Royalty!

Whereas Allan is clearly an inferior spelling to the far more suave, sophisticated, witty and good looking Alan.
Don’t believe me? Just ask @FPL_Partridge!

Armstrong is from Inverness, so a tough Highlander.
Bye bye yellow/red flags – no injuries for the last two seasons.
ASM is from a Paris commune i.e. a Hippie!
He missed 11 games through injury last season alone and even needed a “rest” one week, the wimp!

Armstrong 19/20 – 5 goals, 4 assists, 10 BP’s in 1706 mins.
ASM 19/20 – 3 goals, 5 assists (4 of them vs Bournemouth so possibly shouldn’t count!), 7 BPS’s in 1860 mins.
His stats are better and he got more points than ASM last season.
What’s not to like?

1195 of his 1706 mins came in the second half of the season.
Southampton were top 6 for the 2nd half-season.
Which is when Armstrong became a nailed-on starter.
Can you see a pattern emerging?
Hasenhüttl just loves him as a part of his improving, attacking side.

Meantime poor ASM plays for Newcastle.
His creative stats are better than Armstrong’s but with Gayle injured who will put away the chances he creates?
Joelinton with his 30% shot accuracy & 2 goals in 2678 mins?
Hardly!
Which leaves Andy Carroll.
*leaves quietly*

More persuasion needed?
Watching games with Armstrong in your FPL team will be exciting as he basically shoots on sight.
He scored >20 goals in the 2 seasons before Soton.
That’s more than ASM has scored in his entire career.
Now he’s nailed on, expect many more goals!

He shares his birthday with Van Gogh & Tracy Chapman, making him both a great artist and cool as fuck by birthright.
ASM shares his with Mitt Romney and a load of Tik-Tok and Instagram “stars”
That’s right, a Republican Senator is as good as it gets for ASM.

Last season vs opening 6 opponents:
ASM - 9 appearances, no goals or assists
Armstrong – 8 appearances, 1 goal, 1 assist…which was only against 5 opponents as he plays WBA in GW4!
That should be all the convincing needed – you know what to do…
