Gianni Buttice: Buying Reijnders seems to be the only thing FPL managers can agree on heading into this week, and rightly so. But, in the interest of balance, here are the, albeit few, reasons why you may want to hesitate before transferring him in.
Pep Guardiola goes through phases of ‘flavour of the month’ with his attacking players, midfielders and wide forwards. After arriving in January, Omar Marmoush started 14 of 16 league games last season. He was chucked straight in to the XI and hit the ground running, just like Reijnders. Then, in a surprise to many, Guardiola didn’t pick the 10%-owned versatile attacker against Wolves.
With the Champions League not far off, some will also worry about rotation of Reijnders, with Guardiola having so many midfield options. But from what we have seen so far, and what we saw at AC Milan, Reijnders will likely keep his performances sky high.
