The extraordinary tale of Swansea City's Michu, who became FPL's greatest budget enabler in the 2012/13 season. We analyze how early adopters who took the punt on the unknown Spanish forward at £6.5m were rewarded with an astronomical 22-goal season. The episode examines the pre-season indicators that some managers spotted, the statistical anomalies of his performance, and how this differential pick created the template for identifying future budget enablers.
