Ipswich Town FPL: Who To Own, Captain And Avoid

So why does Davis top the list anyway? Because at £4.0 he's started every game so far, he's on free kicks, and our projections have him clearing four points a week over the run — which for the price of a bench body is the whole job description. Fewer than 1 in 10 managers own him. Curiously, more of you own Diop — just over 1 in 10 — who costs the same, has the same minutes and projects a chunk worse. The crowd has picked the wrong £4.0. It happens.

The honest caveat: our data flags nobody in this squad as truly nailed. Five starts from five is a decent habit, not a guarantee, and a newly promoted side will tinker when the fixtures bite. That's the tax on every Ipswich pick.

Up front? Pass. The attack is genuinely mid-table — tenth in our rankings, better than the defence deserves — but the run of opponents is brutal, and Emersonn at £5.5 is priced for what he might do, not what this fixture list will let him do. He's second in the penalty queue behind Clarke, which is a nice trivia answer and a poor investment case. Enciso, owned by almost nobody, same story.

The call: if you need a £4.0 defender who actually plays — and every squad needs two — Davis is a proper buy as your fifth defender: starts, set pieces, fund-the-premiums money. Just don't kid yourself he's a weekly starter through City and Spurs away. Buy Davis for the bench, sell Diop if you own him, and leave the Ipswich attack alone until the fixtures turn.
