Semenyo vs. Raya

Final Verdict: Raya

Raya edges it due to his superior recent form, Arsenal's strong defensive record, and better value for money, with both players currently available.

Head-to-Head Analysis

Availability & Risk: Both Semenyo and Raya are fully available with no injury news, so this isn't a factor.
Form: Raya is in significantly better form (3.0) compared to Semenyo (1.2), having secured a clean sheet in the last gameweek. Semenyo has struggled for returns recently.
Fixtures: Both have a mixed bag of upcoming fixtures. Raya's Arsenal faces Brentford (H, 3), Aston Villa (A, 3), and Wolves (H, 2). Semenyo's Bournemouth has Everton (H, 2), Chelsea (H, 3), and Man Utd (A, 3). Arsenal's defense is generally more reliable for clean sheet potential.
Value: Raya offers slightly better points-per-million (10.85) than Semenyo (10.39) and comes in at a cheaper price point (5.9m vs 7.7m).
Underlying Stats: As an attacking midfielder, Semenyo naturally boasts higher ICT Index, Influence, Creativity, and Threat. However, for a goalkeeper, Raya's 8 clean sheets this season and strong defensive team stats are more relevant.

The Deciding Factor

Raya's recent run of form, including a clean sheet in the last gameweek, combined with Arsenal's robust defense, makes him the more reliable pick for immediate FPL points over Semenyo, who has been struggling for attacking returns.
