With three weeks of player and team statistics to analyse and patterns starting to develop, our Big Numbers series returns for 2019/20.

Ahead of this Saturday’s deadline, we take a look at the data available to subscribers in our Members’ area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest to Fantasy managers’ and could help shape transfer decisions.

We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could have a profitable Gameweek 4.

Members can read on for our analysis below.

      He's back after the break, so no replacement. Two of who you've listed will play for Ingerland and likely come back crocked, as per FA crock-a-kid guidelines.

        Negative, just Martial. But KWP didn't look promising and Mount flagged as well (not worried about him). Dropping Kaner really allows me to upgrade elsewhere/flagged players. Also, not having at least 2 City players scares me moving forward. Fixtures are exceptional.

          They are mate, and that is what subs are for, and lunstram playing in mid and has chance of a goal so not the worst sub to bring on. Martial could be ok after IB but you could have another injury to sort so is best to wait and see what happens tbh.

      Tough one! Depends a bit on how many weeks but: Haller bottom because we just don’t have much data on him yet. I really rate Mount and he is cheap but Barnes is getting it done. For price, Mount top.

        Yeah it’s really close Mate!! If I did Martial to Mount this week means I could upgrade Wickham to Barnes only 6.9 max so no Haller and would mean keeping Jota and means I could play 3-5-2 or 3-4-3

    Ignoring price (for FPL Draft) who is the better option:

    Lanzini or Flanderson?

    I think Anderson has slightly more goal threat, however doesn't Lanzini take set pieces?
