Player Review

Jesus Navas is a right back for Sevilla. Navas suits the PB matrix very well averaging a high 54 passes and 1.66 key passes per 90. Furthermore, Navas attempts a high 6.22 crosses per 90 and although he only has a 23.8% success rate on his attempted crosses, these underlying player characteristics can occassionally lead to high peak PB scores when he does perform well. Navas also has a high PB average and this helped him earn £0.30 in matchday dividends during the final stages of the Europa League. Navas also earned £0.10 in team of the month dividends in August 2020 when he helped Sevilla win the Europa League, hitting 3 high PB scores in the process. Navas earned a total of £0.49 in dividends throughout the 2019-2020 season. Sevilla may not play so many games in the late stages of a European Tournament again in the 2020-2021 season, but with the recent increase in dividends and Navas' potential involvement in EURO 2021, he may well be able to return a similar amount in dividends throughout the 2020-2021 season.

Price Analysis

Jesus Navas's price started the 2019-2020 season at £0.22. Navas' price hit a peak of £0.72 in November 2019 during the strong trend toward high PB scoring players. Since then, Navas' price has dropped to £0.42 but has recently risen to a current market price of £0.56 with an instant sell price of £0.52. Strong Europa League performances and more importantly, earning £0.40 in dividends during the month of August has led to a significant increase in demand for Navas. Navas is out of contract in June 2021, but could still feature at EURO 2021 or possibly continue to play in a PB league either with Sevilla or another side once his current contract comes to a close. Navas is undoubtedly a risky hold because if he suffers a bad injury or fails to hit such high PB scores again during the 2020-2021 season and then retires - he will become very difficult to sell around his current price. Overall, Navas' success will ultimately depend on Sevilla's success in the Champions/Europa League next season, whether he can keep his spot in the Spain national squad and how long he continues to play in a PB league. At his current price, Navas is a risk but he could still be a fairly profitable trade if the timing of his sale was executed well.
