Staring at your team and trying to conjure a way to afford 4 heavy hitters without decimating your team?

I give you the ‘Soucek-Welbeck rotation’

Stats and fixtures courtesy @FFScout members areas (1/5)

Tomáš Souček

The Hammers deep lying midfielder was widely touted as the best value 5th mid pre-season and has lived up to that expectation:

£4.9m

Last 4 key stats:
- 1.27 xGI
- 3 big chances
- 2 goals
- 360 mins

Season stats:
- 2.90 xGI
- 11/11 starts, 0 subs off

(2/5)

Danny Welbeck

Since joining Brighton in GW6, Welbeck seems to have emerged as Potter’s striker of choice

£5.5m

Last 4 key stats:
- xGI 1.85
- 8 shots in the box, 4 on target, 2 big
- 31 penalty area touches, most of ANY forward
- 6 chances created, 3 big
- 347 mins

Fixtures

Both West Ham and Brighton have decent fixtures over the Christmas period especially if you plan to rotate the pair:

GW13: CRY or ful
GW13: SHU
GW14: BHA
GW15: sou
GW16: WOL
GW17: WBA

Conclusion

This £10.4m rotation combo for your 7th starting attacker is a viable solution for Christmas

With COVID-19 + fixture congestion I plan on spending a bit more for 1) security of starts and 2) increased goal threat, over likes of Brewster and Burke et al.
