The Technical Area – Expected Goals Prevented

1,215 Comments
Share

Regular readers of the Technical Area articles will no doubt be familiar with expected goals (xG), a key metric introduced to the Fantasy Football Scout Members’ area this year as a means of estimating goal scoring returns on the basis of chance quality.

This week, however, we are flipping our focus to examine the top goalkeepers over this year’s campaign and to introduce, for the first time, our related keeper-specific metric: expected goals prevented (xGP).

In brief, this data tallies the quantity and quality of chances a goalkeeper is faced with, in order to calculate a baseline of their expected goals conceded. From this number, we subtract the true number of goals that have beaten each goalkeeper, in order to determine the expected goals they have personally deterred.

This week’s Technical Area will be running the rule over how FPL’s highest-owned goalkeepers have performed in this particular metric thus far.

We also take a wider view of the position as it now stands, in light of the recent uncertainty surrounding the pitch time of budget-friendly options such as Rob Elliot and Julian Speroni.

    The first 4 will start and the last 3 will be benched and in the bench order

    Need to start at least 2 defenders

    A) Silva

      Hud. Wrote a little about this earlier:


      I think hazard might have his minutes managed, but it is a derby match of sorts and I think Conte will go with his strongest team. If he decides to rest any of his attackers completely I think it will be Morata who has played close to 90 minutes 4 times in the last 10 days. If Morata is rested I think Hazard will play as a centre forward flanked by Pedro and Willian, as I don't think Conte trusts Batshuyi, who is only just returning from injury anyway.

      If Hazard is taken off early, it will only be if the game is won, and if the game is won, then I think Hazard will have been involved. So I think its only a unique, low percentage set of circumstances in which Hazard can fail this weekend (famous last words there!).

      I do think Hazard will be benched next midweek v Huddersfield (GW17), as he was against Swansea last week though.

          Cheers. I'll be captaining Hazard this weekend, and assuming my analysis is right, not captaining him v Hud. I actually think Kane comes back in as a great captaincy option for GW17 as he is least likely to be rested of the big hitters (Coutinho, Mane, Salah, Sane, Sterling, Aguero, Jesus, Morata), although we may be able to infer midweek starters from this weekends team sheets. Also anyone owning Sanchez or Ozil has a great option for GW17 captaincy, maybe even Ramsey or Kolasinac for the maverick!

            My thinking re gwk 17 too. That's a gwk where nailedonness is key.

            Sadly I'll probably be backing Kane to punish my team.

              Guess it depends if they react positively to the 1-5. Huddersfield should be a good place to get back on track.

              Yeah I totally agree, I think it will be a repeat of GW14 in terms of heavy rotation. At least backing the striker against your beloved Brighton means either way you should be both happy and dissappointed lol. The worst scenario would be something like a spurs 1-0 win with an unassisted goal from Alli or something!

        I still have to make 2 transfers as I have now decided to remove Kane from my team. I am now thinking to have a strong midfield especially with that extra 3.4 I accumulated. Will post when I have decided...definately will be having coutinho, Salah and Hazard midfield

      A or B by some margin over the other two.

      Pickford's stats are not great until now, but they will surely shore up the defence under Big Sam if nothing else, and the fixtures are decent.

      Similar deal with Schmeichel, although his stats are better, but he's a little more expensive.

      Hart isn't even guaranteed his place after Adrian's recent performances. Terrible option IMO.

      If he gets no rests he'll have played 5 games in 15 days (this will be match 3 of those 5), so I can see him getting a rest or getting hooked early in the second half, in one or both of this and the next game.

      Not ideal for my captain choice.

    Why are people captaining him again next gw vs STO. Is it out of blind faith and just ignoring the plain facts?

    Spurs are a mess at the moment. No Toby,constant rotation at fullbacks and Eriksen/Alli totally off form. Kane is feeding off scraps

    Hazard(whu) and Salah(EVE) are much better options this gw. Playing for teams in great goalscoring form

          Kane has scored 10 PL goals, only Salah has scored more.

          Some perspective is needed, the problem is most people have captained his blanks and missed captaining his hauls.

          Had it been in reverse and you captained his hauls but missed his blanks would this even be a talking point?

      But they'll be tired, and may get rested. If Salah plays tonight both will be on course to play 5 matches in 15 days (although Salah came on only for the last half hour of the first of the 5, tbf).

      Kane's underlying stats are decent, despite fewer goals than we'd like, Stoke's defence is substantially worse than all of the above, and he scored a hattrick versus Stoke in February.
