<h2>Son (£10.4m) vs Ronaldo (£12.5m) | Best FPL Players for Gameweek 19</h2>
<p>Following <strong>the postponement of Liverpool v Leeds</strong> this gameweek, many FPL managers are looking at Mohamed Salah replacements as well as captain candidates.</p>
<p>Son Heung-Min and Cristiano Ronaldo are currently top among premium assets for transfers in so far this gameweek, ahead of favourable fixtures against <strong>Palace and Newcastle</strong> respectively, so this article will be comparing them.</p>
<p>Both have a <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>nice set of fixtures coming up</strong></a>, and with each hitting form under their respective new managers, they both look like great assets.</p>
<h3><em><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-41938 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-9-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="812" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-9-1.jpg 1000w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-9-1-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-9-1-768x624.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-9-1-610x495.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></strong></em></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The pair sit equal in terms of goals, although Son has played over 200 minutes more.</p>
<p>Son has an extra assist to his name, but Ronaldo comfortably beats him in terms of xG, shots in the box and big chances, notably having <strong>more than double Son&#8217;s 19 shots in the box</strong>.</p>
<p>In terms of points per game, <strong>Son is averaging over a whole point more than Ronaldo&#8217;s 5.2 ppg</strong>, with 6.3, although Ronaldo has come off the bench on two occasions, unlike Son, who has started every game he has appeared in.</p>

<h2></h2>
<h2><strong>Price: Best FPL Players for Gameweek 19</strong></h2>
<p>Son is priced at 10.3 million at the time of writing, whereas Ronaldo will take £12.5m out of your budget. This is quite a hefty difference, with such funds capable of turning a budget defender into a premium one, for example.</p>

<h2><strong>Position: Best FPL Players for Gameweek 19</strong></h2>
<h3><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-41939 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-10-1.jpg" alt="" width="997" height="812" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-10-1.jpg 997w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-10-1-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-10-1-768x625.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-10-1-610x497.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></h3>
<p>Comparing the pair since Conte&#8217;s arrival, Ronaldo&#8217;s heat map looks, unsurprisingly, far more encouraging. The United forward features far more frequently in the 18-yard box and picks up the ball deep less often.</p>
<p><strong>Son has hardly touched the ball in the box compared to other areas of the pitch</strong> (despite scoring three times), and it&#8217;s impossible to argue that should a team give a handful of big chances away against either Son&#8217;s Spurs or Ronaldo&#8217;s Man Utd, Ronaldo is far more likely to be there to put them away.</p>

<h2><strong>Goal Threat: Best FPL Players for Gameweek 19</strong></h2>
<div id="attachment_41940" style="width: 369px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-41940" class="wp-image-41940 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-276.jpg" alt="" width="359" height="171" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-276.jpg 359w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-276-300x143.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px" /><p id="caption-attachment-41940" class="wp-caption-text">Goal threat per start since Conte&#8217;s arrival</p></div>
<p>Ronaldo (shown in top row) is currently beating Son in <strong>each of the five underlying goal threat metrics</strong> from our <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">OPTA stats tool</a> so far per start since Conte&#8217;s arrival in GW11.</p>
<p>He is currently averaging over <strong>two times as many shots</strong>, (including in the box), around double the amount of big chances and approximately twice the xG.</p>
<p>Each have started five times in that period, with Ronaldo enduring far more difficult fixtures, such as <strong>Man City and Arsenal at home</strong>. On that contrary, Son has had a nicer run of games, facing the <strong>Everton, Brentford, Leeds, Norwich</strong> and a Van Dijk-less Liverpool.</p>
<p>Despite Son being an excellent finisher, his <strong>delta xG over this period has been unsustainable</strong>, with the Spurs winger beating his xG tally by 0.22 per game.</p>
<p>In comparison, he only beat his xG tally last season by 0.10, despite having the most prolific season of his career.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Ronaldo is far from used to underperforming in front of goal, <strong>comfortably beating his xG total in each of his last two seasons</strong>. Due to this, I expect to see Ronaldo and Son&#8217;s xG totals from the last five games to be close to their actual goal outputs for the next few games (particularly given Ronaldo&#8217;s fixtures have turned).</p>

<h2><strong>Creativity: Best FPL Players for Gameweek 19</strong></h2>
<div id="attachment_41941" style="width: 251px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-41941" class="wp-image-41941 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-277.jpg" alt="" width="241" height="169" /><p id="caption-attachment-41941" class="wp-caption-text">Creativity per start since Conte&#8217;s arrival</p></div>
<p>Represented by the bottom row, Son is only beating Ronaldo is successful key passes since Conte&#8217;s arrival according to our <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">OPTA stats tool</a>. That is unsurprising given how many of his corners end up resulting in difficult chances for his teammates.</p>
<p>Despite Son&#8217;s deeper and more creative role, Ronaldo actually has a higher xA, and matches Son for big chances created. These are the two key metrics in my opinion, and given so little is separated by each individual&#8217;s total, <strong>their assist potential is almost equal</strong>. Son is providing for Harry Kane though, so I&#8217;d expect a few more of his key passes to result in goals.</p>

<p>According to the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">Hub&#8217;s fixture ticker</a>, Man Utd have marginally the better attacking fixtures over the next six. They face the likes of Newcastle and Burnley (twice) in that time, whilst Spurs face the likes of Palace, Southampton and Watford.</p>
<p>Spurs host Arsenal and have to visit Stamford Bridge, whilst United only have West Ham to face out of the top sides.</p>
<p>It is worth noting that <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/ben-crellins-fpl-transfer-planning-sheet/"><strong>Double Gameweeks are expected in Gameweek 22</strong></a> and possibly 21, so the fixtures up to then are the ones to target.</p>
<p>Also, Man Utd would be one of the teams to feature in the possible Double Gameweek 21, whereas Spurs would not due to their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg tie against Chelsea.</p>
<p>However, before then, <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>both have excellent fixtures</strong></a>, with Newcastle away, Burnley home, Southampton away and Watford away captain worthy fixtures in that time.</p>
<p>Wolves have proven a very tough side to beat in recent weeks so that is undoubtedly a tough fixture for Ronaldo, and Son faces a Palace side that managed to keep out Manchester City at the Etihad and limit Manchester United to a close contested 1-0 loss at Old Trafford.</p>

<p>The Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions/">Points Prediction Tool</a> projects Son to outscore Ronaldo by 0.3 PPG across the next three fixtures, although <strong>Ronaldo is by far the better long term pick</strong>. Particularly if the potential Double Gameweek 21 goes ahead.</p>
<p>It is also predicts that Ronaldo will outscore Son by 0.5 points this gameweek, and given how chaotic postponements have been at the moment, focussing on a gameweek at a time isn&#8217;t such a bad idea.</p>

<h2></h2>
<h2><strong>Conclusion: Best FPL Players for Gameweek 19</strong></h2>
<p>Ultimately, I prefer <b>Ronaldo </b>as the pick going into United&#8217;s next few fixtures.</p>
<p>He not only beats Son comfortably in terms of goal threat, but is more of an explosive captaincy pick for the upcoming weeks with no Salah (due to postponements and AFCON).</p>
<p>He also has potential of playing in a Double Gameweek in just two gameweeks time. Furthermore, I think he is worth taking a hit for to get over Son, and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing how well he does against Newcastle this GW.</p>
