Our Big Numbers piece takes a look at the vast array of data available in our Premium Members’ Area and presents the eye-catching statistics that may be of interest.

Although we’re only three Gameweeks into 2020/21 and the sample pool is still small, some familiar patterns are emerging – from Mohamed Salah (£12.1m) being top of the shot count table to Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.0m) bossing the headed goal attempts column.

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

With this feature using stats from our Premium Members Area, only subscribers can read on.

    Lampard on managing Pulisic's minutes this season:

    ‘Of course, when you look at a player with his recent (injury) record, you are trying to find the right way, the right balance of getting the best out of him which we saw in big periods last year and making sure you don’t overcook him and leave him susceptible to injury, particularly a player of his explosive pace and balance. That’s a fine line.

    ‘We are working on that and Christian is also very open to that. He wants to play, he is so hungry to play and he is very nearly fit now but it is certainly something we will have to manage with him this season because we have all seen the talent and it is something we want to get right.'

              You must be spending too much on defence. For me mane and vardy are essential as their respective teams don’t offer enough from midfield option. They’ve got pedigree and Everything goes through them. Then one of DCL, Ings, jimi, Maupay as a third striker. Allowing Salah mid field and maybe if you really penny pinch in defence KDB as well . I’m gambling on Foden to cover KDB for me as I just can’t squeeze him in.

                  I think you’re brave going without Leicester assets, and relying on son to cover Kane and bale at spurs. But we’ll see. However you play it you’re gonna be without some key players. Never thought I’d be without KDB. I’m gambling on Vardy Foden > KDB Barnes

            Havertz is a world class player.

            He has scored 29 goals in the last 2 seasons in the league for an average Leverkusen side. It's only a matter of time before he comes good. Same with Werner.

            We're predicting future points not past ones.
