J.Timber vs. Van de Ven

Final Verdict: J.Timber

J.Timber is the clear winner here, primarily due to Van de Ven's concerning lack of expected minutes for the upcoming Gameweek, despite his 'available' status.

Head-to-Head Analysis

Availability & Risk: While both players are technically 'available', Van de Ven's 0.2 expected points for GW14 and recent 0-minute appearance are huge red flags. J.Timber is fit, playing, and expected to feature. This is the deciding factor.
Form: J.Timber is in much better form (2.2) compared to Van de Ven (0.2), consistently picking up points in recent weeks.
Fixtures: Arsenal have a decent run with Brentford (H), Aston Villa (A), and Wolves (H). Spurs face a tougher Newcastle (A) before Brentford (H) and Forest (A). Slight edge to Timber.
Value: Van de Ven is cheaper at 4.8m with a slightly better overall PPM (12.08 vs 11.72), but this is irrelevant if he's not playing. Timber's 6.4m price tag is justified by his output.
Underlying Stats: J.Timber boasts significantly better attacking stats with higher Creativity (197.3 vs 35.3) and Threat (242.0 vs 123.0), indicating more FPL attacking potential.

The Deciding Factor

The biggest edge separating these two for the upcoming gameweek is Van de Ven's extremely low expected points (0.2) and recent benching, which strongly suggests he won't play. J.Timber, on the other hand, is a nailed-on starter in good form.
