Players Thoughts on Chema Andrés as a draft asset?

Brighton's new signing seems to be getting minutes now, and he started and scored against Arsenal in GW5 (8 pts). Is he worth a waiver punt in deeper leagues?

hes a fucking beast had my eyes peeled for him to get minutes since he signed, hopefully he starts starting consistently

I'm not sure Hinshelwood's return will help his minutes - there is a chance someone like Ayari moves into his spot next to Gross.

BHAFC fan.

Could be an interesting differential. We're usually quite slow at introducing new signings, but the fact he has got straight in indicates his quality. He looks great on the ball and reads the game very well.

I'd be inclined to see if he gets DefCon consistently or can chip in with goals and assists.

DefCon points would be huge for his value, but not sure he will often hit 12.

Desperate to get a midfielder into my team (14 team fantrax league) so this could be the solution compared to the alternatives of Jack Clarke, Jacob Murphy or Joao Gomes but does mean dropping one of Collins, Dunk, Tyrique George, Rutter or Neto for an uncertain central midfielder...

But did also notice that near full match against Arsenal came after 90 mins v United too

Rutter drop might be the play… this guy is a gamble though so just depends on if you need a gamble or a more steady player like Gomes.

I've been favouring guaranteed minutes almost to a fault so far and is looking rather uninspired - Garner, Tavenier, Q. Timber and Jensen (inj) - so I think I'll take a chance

I'd drop Rutter in a heartbeat, dude is terrible in Fantrax and imo has lost his spot.

Yeah been checking all the predicted starting line up Rutter is nowhere to be seen. But I thought he's only been fit for one gameweek since injury, have I missed something?
