The short answer
Luka Vušković (£5.0m) is now a genuine FPL option rather than only a preseason watchlist player.
Through the opening three Gameweeks he has started all three matches, played 270/270 league minutes, scored 18 FPL points, scored once and kept one clean sheet. He remains owned by fewer than 3% of managers.

Why the FPL case has changed
Before the season, the missing evidence was Premier League minutes. That question has received the best possible early answer: three starts and three full matches.
His GW3 goal against Leeds matters too. Vušković headed in Maxim De Cuyper's corner to rescue a 1-1 draw.
A single centre-back goal is not enough to justify a transfer, but secure minutes plus set-piece threat is a much stronger combination.

Vušković vs De Cuyper
| Factor | Vušković | De Cuyper |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £5.0m | £4.8m |
| Main upside | Set pieces + secure CB minutes | Advanced role + corners |
| Attacking style | Aerial/set-piece threat | Open-play width + creativity |
| Rotation concern | Lower so far | Higher around Europe |
| Best for | Minutes security | Attacking ceiling |
De Cuyper remains the more attacking route. Vušković is the cleaner choice if your priority is a secure 90-minute role with set-piece upside.

Is £5.0m too expensive?
At £5.0m, Vušković competes with defenders from stronger defensive teams. Compare him with Arsenal, Newcastle, Palace and cheaper Hull routes.
The Coventry fixture helps, but this should still be a multi-Gameweek transfer rather than a one-week clean-sheet punt.

OneFPL verdict
BUYABLE / strong differential.
The key change is minutes security: 270 minutes from the first three matches gives his set-piece and defensive profile a much stronger foundation.
