The key underlying statistics I consider when picking my new FPL squad

I think I’ve written about enough subjective theories and opinion until now. What I’m doing with this article is I spent some time in the Premium Members Area and I thought I’d give you some relevant handpicked stats that are simple yet relevant.  

As this article uses Opta data so extensively, only those with a valid Fantasy Football Scout subscription can access it in full.

Without wasting any more time, let’s dive in.

Who are the best and worst defences?

All of this data is but a snippet of the notes I take whenever I spend time in the Premium Members Area. Hopefully you found this information helpful as you prepare your team for the new season.

Best players by position:

    "... I won’t include the three promoted teams here ...". Ouch. :). FUL appear to be a good candidate imho.

        I feel like I'm gradually getting there. GK and Back 5 are settled now. About 4 positions see most of the tweaking.

    Great article, thanks Lateriser. Interesting to see Alli's good stats, just how similar TAA and Robbo are, and how low Saka's stats are! Armstrong is of less interest to me after reading this too. Thanks!

    I keep flip flopping between ings and jimenez. This article makes a strong case for ings but the rate my team tool predicts more points for jimenez over the first six game weeks. Help!

      Well you put Ings in then bring in Jiminez GW 3 after there first 2 bad fixtures.
      Have Bamyang fir GW 1 and 3 change him use the funds to change a 6 mill forward to Jiminez 6 mill forward coukd be Addams or Mitrovich.

    Who do we think guys:

    A) Greenwood & Kane
    B) Son & Martial

    With Van de Beek signing, do you think Greenwood's minutes are at risk?

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years

      Only with a formation change

  9. Silecro

    Chelsea to complete signing of Edouard Mendy within days.
    - The Athletic

    Bye bye Kepa. Finally
