The short answer
Lucas Herrington's official FPL price is now confirmed at £4.0m.
That makes the Hull centre-back much more relevant than when this article was first published.
The main question is no longer price. It is whether the 18-year-old starts regularly.

Why £4.0m matters
A starting £4.0m centre-back can release money for premiums, sit on the bench, earn DefCon points and rotate into better fixtures.
But Hull now have several minimum-price defensive choices.
Herrington versus Nobel Mendy
Mendy currently has stronger statistical DefCon evidence after averaging 11.3 CBIT per 90 in La Liga.
Herrington's case is more about aerial profile, youth upside, possible starting role and set-piece threat.
OneFPL verdict
Herrington is now a genuine budget option, but Mendy may have the stronger DefCon case.
