Scoutcast Extra – Big Numbers (Gameweeks 1-12)

1,514 Comments

The latest international break gives us the opportunity to take stock of the key underlying statistics being posted by teams and players over the first 12 Gameweeks of the season.

In this extra to our usual Scoutcast format, David and Joe sift through a raft of statistics to uncover who have been the most attacking players in terms of both goal threat and creativity.

They also find out who has been over and under performing and delve deep into the team statistics.  Most threatening sides, best defences and those vying for whipping boy status are among issues looked at.

Meanwhile, our Scoutcast duo also find out which defenders are set to produce points at both ends of the pitch and they name the best bonus magnets to consider.

Key talisman, who are integral to their side’s chances of scoring, are also put under the microscope.

Joe and David also reveal how this autumnal stat-attack has affected their future transfer plans.

Tables used in this Scoutcast Extra episode are from our Members area.

    Mendy and Maddison (13.4m) to
    A. Digne

    Surprised to see some people are still not sure on Martial.

    I brought him in Gameweek 10 after his two hauls and he's racked up 26 points in 3 Gameweeks since.

    He has the perfect combination of form and fixtures, surely he's too good right now to go without. Hopefully his flag will turn out to just be a knock and give him time to rest over the IB

          Mourinho has his favourites. I think we'll know more about Martial when Alexis, Lingard and Lukaku are all fully fit - they haven't been recently. Martial deserves to keep his spot, but you just can't trust Mourinho. We're heading into Xmas period as well..

    I want city defence cover as they are likely going to win the league, so a lot of clean sheets and points before the end of the season.
