Bruno G. (NEW, Midfielder, £7.2m)

Verdict: BUY

Bruno G. is in red-hot form, fully fit, and looks like a fantastic differential pick for Gameweek 22 and beyond.

The Reasoning

Fitness & Availability: Bruno G. is fully available and a nailed-on starter for Newcastle, with no injury concerns reported. He's a key cog in their midfield.
Recent Performance: The Brazilian has been on fire, bagging 3 goals and 1 assist in his last four outings, including hauls of 11, 10, and 10 points. His form of 7.0 speaks volumes, and he's consistently picking up bonus points.
Upcoming Fixtures: Gameweek 22 sees a favourable trip to Wolves (A, difficulty 2), which could be another opportunity for attacking returns. While Aston Villa (H, difficulty 3) and Liverpool (A, difficulty 4) follow, his current form suggests he can still deliver.
Underlying Stats: His ICT Index of 139.2, coupled with high influence (585.0) and creativity (491.6), shows he's heavily involved in Newcastle's attacking play. His recent xG and xA figures also highlight his goal and assist threat.

Risks

At £7.2m, he's a significant investment. While his form is excellent, Newcastle's overall consistency can sometimes be a concern. The fixture against Liverpool in GW24 is tough, which could lead to a blank.

Alternative Options

If you're looking for a similar price point, consider someone like Eze (£7.0m, CRY) if he's fit and firing, or perhaps a differential from a team with a strong run of fixtures. However, Bruno G.'s current form makes him hard to ignore.

The Strategic Play

Bruno G. is currently a top-tier differential, selected by only 22.3% of managers. With his explosive form and a decent fixture in GW22, he's a strong BUY for managers looking to climb the ranks. He looks set to continue hauling, making him a solid long-term hold even through tougher fixtures.
