FPL Player Comparison

By @FPL101_Chris,

How do you compare 2 players? If you have 2 players at the same price in the same position it's easier - you can compare stats or use the "eye test". But what if they differ in value or position, how do we compare them then?

Where the price differs, one technique is to not compare 2 players but 2 pairs of players with matching totals.

12.5 FWD   vs   10.0 FWD
 5.0 DEF         7.5 DEF

Which pairing is better? I'm sure you can see how this works. It stands to reason that if you spend more in one area you have to spend less in another. So, you're not really comparing the 12.5 and 10.0 players but the impact on your team's points potential.

Where do you spend more or less at different times to make the most of the fixtures?
