Szoboszlai vs. Rogers

Final Verdict: Rogers

Rogers edges it due to his superior underlying attacking stats in GW1 and a slightly stronger previous season, suggesting a higher ceiling for FPL points.

Head-to-Head Analysis

Availability & Risk: Both players are fully fit and available for Gameweek 2, so there's no risk factor to consider here.
Form: Both Szoboszlai and Rogers started the season with a bang, bagging 8 points each in GW1 with a goal and a bonus. Their form is identical.
Fixtures: Szoboszlai has a slightly kinder run of fixtures (NFO H, IPS A, FUL H) compared to Rogers (BHA H, ARS A, HUL H), who faces a tough Arsenal away trip in GW3. However, Rogers has a good home fixture against Brighton in GW2.
Value: Szoboszlai comes in at 7.0m, offering better points-per-million (1.14) than Rogers, who is 0.5m more expensive at 7.5m (1.07 PPM).
Underlying Stats: Rogers showed stronger underlying attacking stats in GW1 with a higher ICT Index (13.1 vs 11.9), Creativity (53.5 vs 47.1), and Threat (29.0 vs 21.0). This indicates he was more involved in attacking plays. Rogers also had a slightly better previous season with 169 points compared to Szoboszlai's 160.

The Deciding Factor

Rogers' superior underlying attacking stats in GW1, particularly his higher Threat and Creativity, suggest he's more likely to be involved in goals for the upcoming gameweeks, giving him the edge despite the slightly tougher fixture in GW3.
