Benjamin Šeško FPL: Two Goals in Two Games — Is the £7.0m Forward a Buy?

The short answer

Benjamin Šeško (£7.0m) is now a genuine FPL watchlist forward.

He scored after coming on at Everton and then scored again on his first start as Manchester United beat Sabah 4-0.

Verdict: WATCH / aggressive BUY only if you accept minutes risk.

Two goals in two matches

At Everton, Šeško entered in the 70th minute and scored in the 88th.

Against Sabah, he started, scored before half-time and was replaced on 64 minutes.

That gives us three useful signals:

• he can contribute from the bench,
• he can score when starting,
• United are deliberately building his minutes.

Has he won the role?

Not yet.

Cunha also scored against Sabah and can operate centrally or deeper. United can use both players together or choose different combinations.

Šeško has earned a bigger role, but FPL managers still need evidence of repeated Premier League starts.

GW4

Manchester City at home is not the ideal fixture to chase a new forward.

The stronger angle is GW5+ if Šeško starts again.

OneFPL verdict

WATCH now. If another Premier League start follows, £7.0m becomes far more interesting.
