Frimpong (LIV, Defender, £5.9m)

Verdict: HOLD

The Reasoning

Recent Performance: A single point last gameweek against Bournemouth isn't ideal, but it's early days. His previous gameweek blank was due to being benched, so we need to see if he can nail down a starting spot. Overall form is poor, but we're only three gameweeks in.
Upcoming Fixtures: A home game against Arsenal (difficulty 4) is a tough start, followed by Burnley (away, difficulty 2) and Everton (home, difficulty 2). Liverpool's defence could be shaky against Arsenal, but the subsequent fixtures look more promising for clean sheet potential.
Underlying Stats: His ICT index is low (0.9), but his influence (5.4) from his one start suggests he's involved when he plays. Creativity and threat are low, indicating he's not heavily involved in attacking plays. He's a defensive asset, relying on clean sheets and bonus points.
Long-Term View: No previous season data available to assess long-term potential. It's too early to make a judgment based on this.

Risks

Rotation risk is high. He's not guaranteed a starting spot, and Liverpool's defensive options are plentiful. His low points tally so far is a concern.

Alternative Options

Estupinan (Brighton): Solid attacking threat from a well-performing team. James (Chelsea): High ownership, but a proven points-getter when fit.

The Strategic Play

Frimpong is a punt at this stage. Hold him for the next two gameweeks to see if he secures a starting position and delivers points. If he blanks again, consider selling. He's not a long-term hold until he proves his consistency.
