"When KDB & D.Silva play together, KDB tends to get less points."

Finally I get to put this theory to the test using this season's statistics.

A thread.

Do RT if you find this useful.

1/4

Method used:

Record their points where they play >60mins in a gameweek, be it alone or with each other in the team.
Total points & points/game tabulated.
Also recorded number of double-digits with/without each other

2/4

Points/Game:

When they play together:

Total Points (Point/Game):
KDB: 119 (7.93pts/Game)
D.Silva: 111 (7.4pts/Game)

Without each other:
KDB: 6.94 pts/game (16games)
D.Silva: 6pts/game (3games)

*Silva's game without KDB is limited

3/4

Number of Double-digits:

When they play together:
KDB: 5/15
D.Silva: 6/15

Without each other:
KDB: 4/16
D.Silva: 1/3

4/5

Conclusion:
In terms of #FPL points, Silva don't seem to "steal" KDB's points.
In fact, they both benefit from each other's presence in the field, with Silva benefit more.
If you can only afford 1, go Silva. But if possible, double-up for GW38+

End

5/5

Glad to see it correlates in terms of #FPL
