At first glance, for a LB Telles looks like he will be a VERY good FPL asset! He’s been directly involved in 60 goals during his 129 games for Porto. 21https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚽️" title="Fußball" aria-label="Emoji: Fußball"> 39https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🅰️" title="Invertierter quadratischer lateinischer Buchstabe A" aria-label="Emoji: Invertierter quadratischer lateinischer Buchstabe A">! That works out at a goal or assist every 2.15 games.

His heatmap also looks quite impressive! Telles has constantly been involved in Porto’s build up play and often finds himself in very advanced positions. He’ll be eager to come inside to link up with the likes of Rashford and Bruno and will also provide the width on the wing!

HOWEVER... Of all of his 21 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚽️" title="Fußball" aria-label="Emoji: Fußball"> only https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 5" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 5"> have come from open play. In fact from 21, a whopping 13 have been from the penalty spot with another 3 being direct free kicks....

And it doesn’t stop there... of the 39https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🅰️" title="Invertierter quadratischer lateinischer Buchstabe A" aria-label="Emoji: Invertierter quadratischer lateinischer Buchstabe A"> during his time at Porto, 29 of them have come from either corners or direct free kicks. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 5" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 5"> assists from open play over more than https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 4" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 4"> seasons doesn’t sound so good!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚨" title="Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht" aria-label="Emoji: Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht"> BRUNO https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚨" title="Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht" aria-label="Emoji: Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht"> will be on penalties for United and I imagine that even if he is off the pitch Rashford may step up! One positive however is that Telles could well share the set pieces with Fernandes! Corners on the right side could easily be his and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🅰️" title="Invertierter quadratischer lateinischer Buchstabe A" aria-label="Emoji: Invertierter quadratischer lateinischer Buchstabe A"> will surely follow!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚨" title="Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht" aria-label="Emoji: Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht"> CONCLUSION https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚨" title="Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht" aria-label="Emoji: Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht">

With United being in such bad shape defensively I certainly wouldn’t be in a hurry to bring in Telles. Every defenders backbone is clean sheets and without them they have to deliver exceptionally going forward.

However if United do solidify themselves and Telles is on free kicks and corners he could well become an excellent asset in FPL. There’s even talk among United fans of changing to https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 5" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 5"> at the back which would definitely suite Telles!

For now though... it’s a no from me!
