FPL Blank Gameweek 29 – head-to-head comparisons: Tomas Soucek vs Raphinha
West Ham remain well in the hunt for a top four spot with the likes of midfielder Tomas Soucek (£5.3m) having played an integral part for them this season, providing a huge threat going forward from set pieces and through making late runs into the opposition penalty area. Leeds meanwhile find themselves relatively safe in mid-table in their first season back in the top flight. Brazilian Raphinha (£5.6m) has provided much of their attacking verve over the course of the season, with the winger registering five goals and six assists for the Whites.
Despite proving as hard working as ever, Soucek has failed to provide an attacking return in the last six gameweeks whilst Raphinha has managed a goal and an assist within the same period, although he hasn't managed an attacking return himself in his past three starts for Leeds. Marcelo Bielsa's men haven't scored in those three games, which doesn't bode well for Raphinha vs a Fulham side who have proven themselves as very strong defensively as the season has gone on. Add that to Soucek's lower pricetag and he looks a slightly better option than Raphinha here from a value perspective as West Ham host Arsenal in Blank Gameweek 29.
Verdict: Tomas Soucek
