Should You Buy Mateta?

Reasons to Buy

Underperforming xG (8 goals vs 11.99 xG) — regression to the mean could mean more goals coming

Reasons to Avoid

Poor form (0.5) — returns have dried up in recent weeks
4 of next 8 fixtures rated FDR 4-5 — tough run of games ahead

Avoid for now. Mateta faces headwinds — multiple concerns suggest better options exist at the FWD position in this price range.
