FPL half-term report: the 20 Premier League teams ranked by KPI data

1,123 Comments
Share

This latest members’ article looks at the performances of the top-flight clubs this season from an underlying statistics point of view.

The aim is to pinpoint which areas all of the Premier League teams are strong in, as well as highlighting any weaknesses that the key performance indicators might betray.

Each statistic is ranked in relation to the other Premier League sides, with 1st being the best and 20th the worst. For example, Manchester City are marked as 1st for expected goals conceded (xGC) as this is the lowest figure in the whole of the division.

We have also calculated the 20 clubs’ average FPL fixture difficulties (where 2.00 is the easiest fixture and 5.00 is the toughest, according to the ratings given in the game itself) from Gameweeks 1-8 in order to give some context – and mitigation where needed – as to the rankings.

        If you can accept Mendy WILL get rotated with Sane.
        Fraser at his price you can afford a minor injury and a few poor fixtures.
        I have Shaw and Fraser but waiting for more info next Thursday/Friday

        Spurs are really unlucky to be punished so methodically for not managing to get De Ligt and a CM.

        Thinking about keeping Fraser through his difficult fixtures and getting in doing Guendouzi >> Bernard as my 5th midfielder. Playing the one with the best fixture.

            You reckon? I don’t.
            Really fancy him against Palace next week and think he will be just as important as Richarlison.

        That was a handy article.
        Think Il stick to my plan and hold on to Aguero.

        Salah + TAA coming in for free.

        Would rather Robbo but I'm a little short on cash.

            I think two expensive defenders is the way to go. There are some good cheap defenders available, seems a waste to have them sitting on the bench, and frees up money to to use further up the pitch.
