I noticed tweets yesterday from @BigManBakar & @yonkersfpl with some stats on Bruno with & without Pogba, so I wanted to look a little further into it myself.
Samples sizes aren't huge, but we can see correlation developing.

First a quick overview of Bruno without Pogba. This is the smaller sample of the two, as he's only played 8 games so far this season without Pogba.

Now a quick overview of Bruno with Pogba:

4/12


On first glance of the overview, you can see that Bruno's numbers are superior when he plays without Pogba.
Let's take a closer look at his involvement per/minute and per/game

5/12


When looking at his involvement per minute, we can start to see the correlations developing.
Without Pogba, Bruno's mins p/chances created, shots & shots in the box are all stronger. These are reflected by his goals & assists.

Bruno's average position & touch map without Pogba could play a key role behind this.
Here's a sample of 6 straights weeks both with & without Pogba between GW 8-10 & 11-13

7/12


In GW8-10 without Pogba, Bruno is more advanced & more active, especially on the left & centrally/towards the box.
Playing further up & more active allows him more influence on matches. Slightly deeper means less influence.

8/12


It's no surprise then to see Bruno's returns are far greater in GW8-10.
Without Pogba, Bruno scored 27 more points, from 4 goals & 2 assists v 0 goals & 1 assist with Pogba.
Bruno's stats are better in every category bar one.

Side by side comparisons clearly show a correlation developing between Bruno's improved scores without v with Pogba.
He excels in nearly every category, with the exception of mins p/Big Chance Created & Big Chance.

10/12


The influence that Bruno has without Pogba playing is clear to see and he's a bonus magnet without Pogba playing. He's returned max bonus in 63% of matches without Pogba (any bonus in 75%) v 21% when Pogba plays.

The samples may be small, but the data is starting to mount up. Bruno is a better FPL asset without Pogba.
If Pogba features more & more in the 2nd half of the season, what becomes of Bruno?
We'll have to wait and see
