Using the ‘per 90’ tool to assess FPL defenders with the best assist potential

As mentioned in a recent introductory article, we’ve added a new “per 90 minutes” filter to the Members Area.

This can help shine a light on those players who have performed well when handed the chance but have perhaps had their seasons curtailed by factors such as injury or rotation.

Our latest series of articles for Members aims to pinpoint those players whose numbers per 90 minutes compare very favourably against the overall leaders per position, according to the Opta statistics.

This first piece assesses the most creative defenders in 2019/20.

    Looking at team for V-FPL tonight. Is it worth transferring Alli to
    A Barnes for Leicester double with 2 nice fixtures or to
    B Richarlison ( captain material v Bournemouth) or
    C Mahrez ( after 2 rests should start tonight)
    D Keep Alli

    Leno
    TAA Maguire Alonso
    Mané Alli Martial Pérez
    Jota Kane DCL

    Button Taylor Fernández Hayden

      A - Maybe. I do have both, but that's because I've rid of Sarr and Lamela for now.

      B - Worth a punt. However there's lots of good other captain choices this GW. May pay to stay template.

      C - Nah. Minutes are a concern. How do we know that less minutes in vFPL means they've been 'rested' and will play more from now on? Could just be out of the algorithms favour at the moment.

      D - Potentially. I'm keeping Alli either to keep, or shift back to Fernandes next week. See you've got Martial already so may not want to do that.

    Goals imminent always means to me that a player cant score even if he gets the chances.
    Now he might even get less chances in future and his incapability of scoring doesnt help him either

      Yeah, it's players who underperform, but if ever DCL had a good chance to emphatically leave the list it's this week v Bournemouth.

      Interesting. True but also may show that player has chances and he may explode soon.

    I'll take the 10 points, Ayoze

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years

      Well actually 20*

      Nice! 🙂

      Not surprised I've already noticed players coming back from injury not preforming. I'm holding off from get Fernandes and Vardy back.

    Chris appears to have lost his Wood.

    Remember when Rashford used to be good in vFPL?

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Bruno effect

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Martial managed OK.

        Fernandes is back Thursday so may get him in and be done with it.

        exactly, far fewer attacks without Bruno for Man United

    Held off WCing yesterday, but may do it tonight.

    Rashford and Wood need to go already and I suspect more useless tat is going to follow...

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I was also planning to sell Rashford, but selling him right before Bruno comes back can easily come back to bite us.

  10. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Son is another one.

    cheers wood,rashford and alli already dropped 75 places ,pffffffft

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, with Spurs it’s obviously Kane or no one.

  12. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Should never have sold Auba either.

  13. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Zaha's ticking over nicely. I may consider bringing him in.

  14. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Snodgrass appears to be a decent budget mid option in vFPL.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      TopMarx's transfer optimiser did recommend me Snodgrass, but it also recommended Wood!

  15. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    ayew 5 chances ,nothing 7 from 4 ,shut down pc becoming an option

  16. BNMC

    Us Jota owners finally rewarded for our patience...

  17. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Well done Jota owners. You deserved that for sticking with him for so long.

    The sim seriously loves Traore.

    And just like that, KDB ruined an almost perfect GW for me

    1. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Judging by my rank drop after that game, I assumed I was the only person not owning him!

      Saving cash and going with Mahrez has really burnt me!

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah I dropped 41 places after that game, despite owning both Aguero and Mahrez.
        And there's still Liverpool to play... my green could easily turn red.

        1. Brimble82
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Think I dropped 200 places after the City game - and I can’t bare to look after the Liverpool game (as a Salah/Mane owner!)

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I swapped to Aguero because of you. Worked fine this week, but oof this week!

    KxB cappers going into the top 10 tonight.

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I'm a KDB capper but nowhere near the top 10!

      1. Longlatini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Same here

    DCL's last game for me this week unless he hauls.

  21. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    had KDB all season transferred him last game for Son but today brought him back by moving out Son 😀

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Nice plot twist 😀

  22. Atom&Humber
    • 8 Years

    I got so lucky this week, sold mane and alli for kdb (c) and Perez lol

  23. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    It's all on you, McCarthy

  24. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Utter friggin joke.

    Glad I sold Mane a few weeks ago, but Salah didn’t do much better.

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years

    Goooooooaaaalllllll Lukaku

  26. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    mane (c) and lacselles on the bench ,dear oh dear ,goodnight ,*stomps off*

  27. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    It’s 0-0, you’re down to 10 men and Mane has been sent off.

    You’re playing the worst attacking team in the league.

    Why, in the name of Sam Hill would you take off Salah and replace him with Matip?

    Seriously???

    Come on, man!

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Gomez was subbed off earlier for Winjaldum as a risk with one CB. Origi too.

    2. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Bro why you gettin wrkd up?

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Salah capper. Not amused.

    3. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Computer said yes.

  28. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    80 all out, small green up to 81st, I'll take it.
    I do have a couple transfers I want to make, but I guess I'll sleep on it.

  29. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Well, that was really funny.

    Can we have the real vFPL games now, please? 🙁

  30. Brimble82
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    4 consecutive red arrows.
    From a respectable GW8 rank of 171 to a current low of 533.

    WC triggered.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      You think that's low? 😉

      1. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Haha!
        Yeah, victim of being spoilt by a good run of Salah (C) returns I guess.
        vFPL was almost too easy for a while there.
        It certainly feels more real now!
