Question 1

Should I transfer Barnes in before Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

Wait if you can. Barnes has a tough GW1 fixture but his schedule improves from GW2 onwards. A week's patience could be the better entry point.  Barnes's next fixture is Liverpool (H) in GW1, rated 4/5 for difficulty. The run over the next 4 gameweeks looks very favourable - 3 of 4 fixtures are rated 3 or below for difficulty.  Barnes has averaged 0.0 pts/game over the last 6 gameweeks - form that needs to improve to justify a premium transfer.  At £6.0m he is a significant budget commitment. The real question is who you would sell to fit him in and whether that trade weakens your squad elsewhere.  ChatFPL AI can look at your specific squad and tell you whether the move makes sense for your team right now.

Is Barnes worth £6.0m in FPL?

Accepted Answer

On the season numbers, yes - Barnes has returned 17.7 points per million spent, which is solid for a premium asset.  Barnes has 7 goals and 1 assist this season for 106 total points. The question is not just whether those numbers are good, but whether they are good enough relative to what you give up to fit him in.
