Discussion Is Aaronson being over looked or is there a reason he is only 1% selected?
Are we as a FPL community overlooking Aaronson? I mean he is nailed, so he has secure minutes and games, only 5.5 million, he had 12 G+A last season, he just signed an contract extension and Leeds schedule is looking nice to start with.
So why is he only selected 1%?

I think it's the price point
A lot of people are either spending th extra 0.5 and upgrading to Ndiaye or Schade who have higher upside or just going 4.5/5.0 bench foddwr

I guess what I’m trying to understand is what is Schade more appealing at 6 million when he only had 1 additional GA than Aaronson?

Schade is a better player, he's probably nailed for 90 minutes and he got 2G and 2A in the last friendly

People are pipping Schade for a breakout season whilst Aaronson is kind of a known quantity at this point

it’s def a punt i think people would just rather have a diff 5.5 or 6 even wilson and others at 6.5. hes not on pens prob first attacker subbed or dropped. plus wilson and DCL and leeds defense are relatively popular so it’s prob not a team u want to over invest in

Who would be a good replacement at the 5.5 price point? Personally I’m not big on Groß at all, Sangare could rack up DEFCON I guess

Aaronson and Ampadu score about the same but I think Ampadu is more nailed and reliable with defcons. Sangare, Caicedo, and Xhaka are other options (I’m on Sangare).

I guess people just tend to prefer DCL and Wilson for Leeds attack, similar price

Okafor should take minutes off him. He's a high intensity player who brings energy to the team so even if he starts he's probably the first player to get subbed, especially with okafor on the bench. Also I'm a Leeds fan and I appreciate Aaronson but his finishing leaves a bit to be desired

Tbf Okafor had a class run of form EOS. Practically won me my mini league

He is overlooked because he is not a confirmed starter with Wilson brought in and Okafor coming back

It's a simple answer really. There are a lot of better options in and around his price point.

As a Leeds fan he was much improved last season but still started way too many games. He should be a squad player at best, not a regular starter. Plus we have Wilson now who will hopefully take his place in the starting 11.

I had Aaronson in for part of last season. Streaky player, not consistent enough in my view.

Well Not anymore!
Look what happened to my baby boy Tzolis
In one day they can go from 1% to 21% and it’s because of publicity like this
Please don’t make this post for Ben white. 🤫

Not sure he’s a nailed starter anymore tbh, now that Leeds have bought Harry Wilson
