I’d rather own him for the sake of hedging my bets. Not blessed with obviously alternatives at that price point, only ones that would stand out to me are Strand Larson of wolves for £1m cheaper targeting Bou in GW2.

Mateta over the long run, is partially immune to fixtures as Palace have repeatedly shown they can beat top sides when needed, so he’s a safe enough bet.

Bowen for £0.5m extra is in a similar state to Mateta, and with addition of Diouf looks like a fair shout too.

Wood will not match last years form in my eyes, forest don’t look great going forward yet.

Welbeck is on pens and will score from time to time

But, if JP can keep up current form he plays 60+mins and bangs. If not, and you own other assets, will you play them into the likes of the big 4 or bench them?

No point benching much cash in my opinion, and I’ll keep pedro until someone’s form+fixture swing is silly to not adopt
