Sánchez (CHE, Goalkeeper, £5.0m)

Verdict: HOLD

The Reasoning

Recent Performance: Sánchez blanked in GW2 but bounced back with an 8-point haul in GW1, including a bonus point. His form looks promising, especially considering Chelsea's defensive potential.
Upcoming Fixtures: Chelsea's next three fixtures are all winnable (FUL [H], BRE [A], MUN [A]). These are decent matchups for a clean sheet, which is key for a keeper.
Underlying Stats: Sánchez's ICT index is solid, driven mainly by influence (saves and defensive actions). His creativity and threat are understandably low for a goalkeeper. He's a points-per-game player, relying on clean sheets and bonus points.
Long-Term View: Last season was another strong one for Sánchez, with consistent points. He's a proven asset, and this early-season form suggests he's ready to deliver again.

Risks

Rotation is always a risk with goalkeepers. However, Sánchez seems nailed on for Chelsea at the moment. Keep an eye on team news, but the risk seems minimal.

Alternative Options

Alisson (LIV): A premium option, but his consistency makes him a solid alternative. Raya (BRE): A strong differential with a good run of fixtures.

The Strategic Play

Sánchez is a solid long-term hold. His price point and potential for clean sheets make him a valuable asset for the next 3-4 gameweeks. While there's always the risk of rotation, his current form and Chelsea's upcoming fixtures suggest he's worth keeping in your team. HOLD.
