FPL cleared Riccardo Calafiori's 75% flag at 15:46 on Sunday 1 November, and the Arsenal defender is now listed as available, with no news note. He is owned by 47.8% of managers, so this matters to almost half the game, and it comes on the day of Arsenal's GW9 trip to Liverpool.
FPL now gives him a 100% chance of playing. The market is less sure. Our numbers give him a 70% chance of appearing at Anfield and 2.4 expected points, which is modest for a £5.9m defender. That figure prices in the remaining doubt over his minutes as well as a hard away fixture. The 30-point gap between the flag and the odds is the gap between being fit and being picked.
The GW9 deadline has passed, so there is nothing to do this week. If he is in your starting XI, he stays there. If he is on your bench, he only comes in if one of your starters does not play.
Looking ahead, keep him. A cleared flag is no reason to sell a defender nearly half the game owns. If you want to free up funds, Bournemouth's James Hill at £5.5m and Adrien Truffert at £5.4m are the cheaper options at his price. Check the GW10 numbers on our planner before making any move.
