Ndiaye (EVE, Midfielder, £6.5m)

Verdict: BUY

The Reasoning

Recent Performance: Ndiaye blanked in gameweek 2 but bounced back with a solid 8-point haul in gameweek 1, including a goal and a clean sheet. His current form of 5.0 suggests he's finding his feet and is capable of delivering points.
Upcoming Fixtures: Facing Wolves (A, difficulty 3), Aston Villa (H, difficulty 3), and then Liverpool (A, difficulty 5) presents a mixed bag. The first two are very manageable, offering good opportunities for points. Liverpool is a tougher test, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Underlying Stats: Ndiaye's ICT index is excellent at 11.1, showing his all-around contribution. High influence (55.8) and threat (42.0) stats indicate he's a key attacking player for Everton, capable of both creating and scoring chances. Creativity (13.2) is also promising.
Long-Term View: Last season's stats (114 points, 9 goals) are very encouraging, suggesting he's a consistent performer capable of delivering big points. This early-season form is a good sign of things to come.

Risks

Everton's overall form is a slight concern, but Ndiaye's individual performance suggests he's less susceptible to the team's overall struggles. Rotation risk is always present, but his current involvement suggests he's a key player for manager.

Alternative Options

Consider [insert alternative player A name here] (£6.5m) if you want a similar attacking midfielder with a good fixture run. Alternatively, [insert alternative player B name here] (£6.5m) offers a different style of play but is also in good form.

The Strategic Play

Ndiaye is a strong buy for the next 3-4 gameweeks. His underlying stats, recent performance, and last season's form all point to a player capable of delivering consistent returns. The upcoming fixtures are favourable enough to justify the purchase, even with the tougher Liverpool game looming. He's a good long-term hold, but monitor his game time closely.
