Why Jimenez is being removed?

Wolves have the 6th worst xG(3.79) in the league since restart, 3rd worst xG(2.73) in last 4 GWs

Jimenez - xG of 0.36 from last 4 games- Zouma, Evans,Gosling, Hayden have better xG

0 Big chances over last 4GWs

Danny Ings(7.4)

37 pts,4G, 1A, 3 big chances since restart

7.4 PPG since restart

Great fixtures : MUN, BHA, BOU, SHU

18 touches in opponent penalty box against EVE- Most by any player this season

Motivated for the Golden Boot(19 goals)

Greenwood(4.7)

Good option if you don't have funds

110 mins/goal from open play, Rashford(255 mins)

32 pts from last 3 games, averaging 10.6 PPG

9G, 1A in just 8 starts this season- Nailed to start for rest of season with UCL spot in mind

Others options considered :

Harry Kane(11.0)

Spurs defensive tactics doesn't help Kane- 0 SOT against BOU

Even with the fixtures and end season Kane in mind, his team is not enough attacking and not worth the price

Aubameyang(10.9)

30 points in 5 games since restart, but 16 came against Norwich

Fixtures doesn't look great- TOT, LIV, AVL(Improved defensively), WAT.

Defends too much for FPL liking especially against big sides. Also ARS are inconsistent

Jesus(9.7)

A great differential replacement compared to Vardy(28.5%), Ings(27.5%) with just 4.3% TSB

Highest xG(2.17) from last 2 GWs

Second highest xG/90(0.68) since restart- Min 250 mins

Started last 3 games- May be rested for a game

Giroud(6.6) and Abraham(7.4) :

Both are good assets but too much rotation between them makes them risky picks. FA Cup semis also makes it more worse

Average of 68 mins played by the starter since restart- Doesn't complete 90 mins when started

Conclusion:

Jimenez

Vardy seems to be the best move to replace Jimenez

If you lack funds/already own Vardy, Ings/MG seems to be 2nd best option

Jesus is the best differential replacement(4.3% TSB)if you want to gamble
