When Fantasy Premier League managers are looking for insight on the best options at each club, who best to consult than those teams' fans, who watch the targeted players week in, week out?
So we have looked at the most popular players from each club among the FPL squads of that side's own supporters.
It reveals some selections that differ from those of the 5million managers, choices that go beyond mere club partiality.
City fans favouring De Bruyne
For example, among Manchester City fans, there is greater love for Kevin De Bruyne (£10.0m) than there is for David Silva (£8.5m), a reverse of the order among the wider FPL family.
De Bruyne is in 31.5% of City fans’ line-ups, almost double the level across the game as a whole (16.6%).
This is greater than Silva, pictured above, who is City's most popular player in FPL with an overall ownership of 23.2%. But that level of support only increases to 27.9% among City fans.
Equally, City fans are showing caution when it comes to investment in Pep Guardiola's defence.
Nicolas Otamendi (£5.7m) is part of 16.0% of their squads, but this only a slight increase on his 14.7% ownership overall.
Richarlison popular with Hornets
Watford fans have been quick to react to their first-hand experience of the performances of Richarlison (£6.1m).
Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.3m) is the top-owned Watford player in FPL, with 12.1% ownership, but his presence in 20.4% of squads among his own supporters is inferior to the 28.4% who have Richarlison.
Considering a mere 6.4% of FPL managers overall have Richarlison in their squads, this show of faith from Hornets fans could force others to reassess the Brazilian as a midfield bargain over the remainder of the season.
Love for Lanzini
At West Ham United, fans of the club have made Manuel Lanzini, who has just returned from injury, their third-most popular pick among their squad.
Overall the Argentinian lies a lowly 12th in terms of the popularity of Hammers players.
Are FPL managers overlooking the West Ham playmaker's potential for points that those with a greater interest know well?
