FPL Player in Focus: Isak | Should You Buy Him for FPL GW6?

After his recently impressive display vs LIV, @Rey_Qur/@TheFPLWay(Follow him on Twitter) analyses whether the Swede is an asset FPL manager should consider.

Isak has been a player I have been looking at since December of last year.

He was strongly linked with Arsenal and I was very keen on the Gunners signing him. For the FM22 enthusiasts, he is incredible in the game.

Once NEW signed the striker, I was very keen to analyse his movements during the game and if he is fit for the intensity and physicality of the Premier League.

FPL GW6 Player in Focus: Alexander Isak

With a favourable FDR, Alexander could be a super differential for the coming weeks, especially with fellow teammate Wilson currently injured.

A consistent behaviour of Isak was to position himself in the wide left areas and start to penetrate into the offensive areas. Mostly, with a habit to cut on to his favoured right foot.

Despite the lack of touches (to be expected against LIV away), the Swede certainly did not shy away from getting involved in attacking areas.

Considering he only signed 5 days earlier, I was pleasantly surprised by the energetic exuberance that Isak constantly portrayed.

Strength

Isak did not hesitate in adopting a physical approach when necessary.

The images below show a willingness to take on the likes of VVD and Fabinho for strength and aggression. Positive signs for #FPL managers as he can adapt his style depending on the opposition.

Positioning & Dribbling

Isak consistently drove with the ball and succeeded with his dribbles and acceleration past LIV.

The Swede is not only a “Target Man”, but can also play off the shoulder due to his impressive speed off the ball.

Goal

The understanding of positioning for the goal was exemplary.

Isak placed himself to offensively progress play once the ball was received, then showed his clinical prowess to score. Super signs for potential FPL owners.

Disallowed Goal

I mentioned earlier about Isak’s strength. This goal however was a combination of speed, composure, and balance.

Such a shame it was offside as Isak portrayed “ice cool” composure to score the goal.

I think we can expect this movement going forward.

Howe on Isak

“He looked really good, we didn’t anticipate him playing the whole game, he hadn’t done a huge amount of training since he joined us.”

“I think he picked up a bit of a knock, a dead leg, during the game as well so we wanted to protect him, but he looks a special player.”

Conclusion on Isak

I really like Isak as a player. I don’t see a weakness in his game as he has the combination of power and grace.

As an #FPL asset, I think he will be a bandwagon to jump on very soon. With CRY, whu & BOU the next 3 fixtures – it could be the perfect time to act.

Personally, I am looking to wildcard in GW9. Thus, he is an asset that could come in as soon as #GW6 depending on team news.

Isak currently has a dead leg but should recover by the weekend.
