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.

    Mount, Foden or Maddison?

    1. SerieD
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Foden or Maddison for me.

      1. ppv
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Thanks. Do you think Mount not nailed?

        1. SerieD
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          Waiting for Puli. I have lost my nerves for Chealsea with Werner.

    2. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Maddison most nailed by by, so him

      1. TheSteel
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        By far*

    3. baines is god
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Mount's the best Chelsea asset at the moment. Guaranteed starter, goal/assist threat and cheap. Gives coverage for them. By far the best option of those 3. Maddison isn't even starting and Foden's a rotation risk

      1. ppv
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        I was favouring Mount. Maddison went so long without returns last season and Foden rotation risk, especially once City get some players back

    4. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      What about barnes

    5. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Take it you've already got Harvey Barnes?

      1. ppv
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Hadn't considered Barnes. Good shout thanks

    6. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Barnes

  2. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    A) Son -> Mahrez
    B) Son + Davies -> Foden / 7.5mid + Robertson -4
    C) Mitro + Son -> Jimenez + Foden
    D) Something else

    Team

    TAA Saiss Justin
    Salah KdB Son Podence
    Werner DCL Mitro
    ___
    4.0 Davies Ferguson Bissou

    1. baines is god
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      C by miles

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        It is for a hit

  3. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Does the predicted points on rate my team update each week with the changing info? e.g. DCL still very low compared to others

  4. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Gw1. Son
    Gw2. Son to Rasford
    Gw3. Rashford to Son
    Gw4. Son to ? 🙂

    1. Party time
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Adama Traoré

    2. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Keep Son. Mourinho mind games.

    3. Jink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Rashford

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Thats the spirit!

    4. Party time
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Gw 1 : No Salah
      Gw 2 : Son > Rodriguez
      Gw 3 : Vardy > Richarlison

  5. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Take a risk and get sterling in for a hit to captain, or play it safe and settle for captain Kdb?

    1. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Sterling may well not start

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        We never know - it’s Pep!

        But I would say that with Jesus and Kun both out, he should get at least 60 min, consistently

      2. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        With no striker I’m 100% sure he does

  6. SerieD
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Davies to 5.8? Who would be best option?

    1. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Castagne

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Castagne
      Semedo
      Chilwell
      Coleman

      1. SerieD
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Is this preffered order?

        Castagne seems like solid winner. Did he get small injure in last game?

        Coleman would be interesring.

        1. Chucky
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          he's fine but leci are leaky at the back...

  7. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    I have no City cover so can either:

    A. Bruno to KDB and Jimi to DCL for -4
    B. Bruno to Sterling with 1FT

    Thoughts? Thanks for the help!

    1. nelluckram
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      I’d keep Jimi!!

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      B

  8. nelluckram
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    McCarthy
    TAA, Saiss, Justin
    KDB, Rash, Havertz, ASM
    Werner, Jimi, Ings

    Steer, Bissouma, Johnson, Mitchell

    1 FT, 0.5 ITB

    Thinking the best strategy here is to save and have 2 FT for after international break? Maybe even -8 mini WC. Thoughts?

    1. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Save

    2. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      No dcl?

      1. nelluckram
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        I know. One of my bigger regrets thus far

        1. Letsgo!
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          After seeing him scoring hattrick. I am gonna activate my wildcard since i also wanna change werner asm awb etc

          1. nelluckram
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 8 days ago

            I’m now thinking of just doing Werner to DCL before he rises...

            1. Letsgo!
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 days ago

              Ahh yes do it since u got havertz for chelsea coverage

              1. nelluckram
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 8 days ago

                I could then upgrade ASM to Foden or Greenwood for a hit...hmmm

    The chap who finished 4th in the FPL in 14.15 had 31k twitter followers.

    I have 350 and finished 3rd.

    I can't help feeling I've missed a boat somewhere!

    1. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Third overall with a top 3k and a top 5k. Bravo

      1. kevchenko
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Cheers.

        Not sure how I convert that into helping others though 🙂

    2. fusen
      • 14 Years

      What has happened to your rank in the last few seasons?

      1. kevchenko
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        I couldn't get motivated to play!

  10. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Martinez - Forster
    TAA - Saiss - Justin - Taylor - Mitchell
    Son - Salah - KdB - Podence - Burke
    Wood - DCL - Jimenez

    What to do with Son?!

    A) Get rid for Barnes (-4)
    B) Get rid for Mount (-4)
    C) Bench and play Taylor (new)
    D) Bench and play Burke (ars)

  11. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    On wc and jus enough money for robbo.. and not taa.
    Is robbo on par with taa?

    1. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Hes better right now. But long term TAA will prevail

  12. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    How bad is Richarlison injury, lads? Was intending getting him in. Or go DCL instead...??

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Of course is dcl even richar is not injured

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Fancy Richarlison to do well. DCL bound to stop scoring - or at least scoring fewer - soon...!

        1. Letsgo!
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          Lol ok

          1. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 8 days ago

            So he'll *never* stop scoring?! Lol. If Rich is out , that could be prove to be very detrimental to DCL's returns...

            1. Letsgo!
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 days ago

              Dont agree. When i watch everton game. Richar is really quite selfish

    2. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Seems Ancelotti says he should be fit for Saturday?

  13. tinear
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    McCarthy
    TAA, Bavies, Justin
    KDB, Salah, Son, Podence
    Werner, DCL, Mitrovic

    Nyland- KWP-Mitchell-Bissouma
    1.0 itb, 1ft

    1) Werner to Vardy
    2) 1 + Son to Mount (-4)
    3) 2 + Bavies to Lamptey (-8)
    4) wildcard

    whats your thought?

    1. baines is god
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Definitely not wildcard, I like your team and after the International Break when Son and Podence are fit you'll in great shape.
      Don't think you need to move Werner to Vardy just for this week.
      Just do Son to Mount and also you need to start KWP

      1. tinear
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        In that sense, Son to Mount or Bruno you reckon?

        1. baines is god
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          Mount

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Same situation as you.. Son injured, Davies dropping, Poden flagged

      1. tinear
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Davies dropping ?

  14. baines is god
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    I highly doubt Nuno will risk Podence or Marcal this week just before the International break, particularly because it's Fulham at home

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      They've lost 3 matches on the trot. They rely need to pick up points and Fulham I'd not somewhere they'll want to drop any.

      1. baines is god
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Marcal hadn't even started training before last match so won't come back, Podence only had a minor shoulder injury so is more possible

  15. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Isit crazy to do wc before ib, really dont want minus pts anymore. Alr on -4
    I have werner now but really dont see him scoring against crystal

  16. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Sterling with 8 shots, 6 on target today, maybe he is a good striker after all

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      He only scored 2 . Not great.

      1. JJeyy
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Maybe that’s just the reality of being a city striker, you get a lot of chances so you miss a lot too. Jesus notorious for missing chances.

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          Nothing to do with being a city striker. If you're a good finisher you need less chances to score. Sterling is not a natural. As for Jesus he is just an average player .

          1. JJeyy
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 8 days ago

            Guess we will see what he can do v Leeds!

    2. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Also Ferran looked much better on left then right v Leicester. Hopefully he keeps that place and Mahrez/Foden RW against Leeds

    3. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      He looked amazing in the highlights. Very good at getting the chances. Looking to hit him in and captain this week.

      Sorry I don't actually like it that much.

      In particular: No TAA or Digne and not much faith in 3/5 of your midfield Townsend, Barnes, Anguissa

      1. Letsgo!
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        So seems like i shldnt wildcard?

    B) Get rid for Mount (-4) (no other Chelsea)
    C) Bench and play Taylor (new)
    D) Bench and play Burke (ars)

  20. mrtapio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Not sure what to do with Son. What would you do?

    A) Bench Son and play Bissouma
    B) Bench Son and Ferguson > Lamptey
    C) Bench Son and Ferguson > KWP
    D) Son > Mahrez
    E) Son > Rash
    F) Other

    0.6m ITB, 1 FT, Wilcard intact

    McCarthy
    TAA l Robbo l James l Justin
    Mané l Son* l Fernandes l Barnes
    Werner l Adams
    Bissouma, Davis, Ferguson

    1. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Im doing A but playing Son with Bissouma as back up

      1. mrtapio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Sounds like a good plan

  21. ooooo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Davies to Saiss for free? Need a one week punt before I WC. Max 5.3mil defender

  22. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Torres worth a punt?

  23. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Who better for the next few games?

    A. Bamford
    B. Adams
    C. Maupay

    I keep trying to find a way to squeeze in KDB instead of Sterling and that .1 makes it hard! Thanks!

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      C

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      If I could only get one it would be sterling this week.

    3. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      It's a blessing in disguise. Sterling(C)

  24. EgyptianKing
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Son Martial —> Raz DCL (-4)

    Worth?

    Have to do it tonight?

    1. EgyptianKing
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Have to do it tonight!*

    2. Maneonthemap
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Yes great moves go for it

  25. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Any suggestions here? Clueless atm... 1 FT 0.5 itb

    McCarthy
    TAA Saiss Justin
    Salah KDB Son* Podence*
    Werner DCL Mitro
    ___
    4.0 Davies* Bissouma Ferguson

    1. Maneonthemap
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Son injury obviously the one, think Podence back this weekend? Maybe Son+Mitro to Jiménez and someone for hit tricky one though

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Really tricky. Was going to do Son to Mahrez.. But Bilva is back and Torres also in the picture now

  26. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Mitro > DCL?

    I'm happy to hold mitro but feel I can't ignore dcl in this form

    1. Maneonthemap
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Yep go go go haha easy move

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      If you can't ignore him, it should already be done 🙂

  27. Maneonthemap
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Keep Wilson or Adams? One going out with Werner for Jimmy and DCL for a hit, good moves?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Keep Adams. WBA is the fixture to finally convert some of that xG.

    2. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Keep Adams. He's getting chances & plays the whipping boys this week

  28. Sterling Malory
    • 11 Years

    What to do with this strike force?

    Werner - Bamford - Vardy

    Feel like it's missing one of DCL or Jimi

      Two of them are scoring for fun.

        6 years, 8 days ago

        this

    3. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Based on form I'd get rid of Werner for one of DCL or Jimmy

        I know I'll regret my decision whichever I make. I'm leaning toward rolling for the next two fixtures.

        Hide behind the sofa for Jimi vs Fulham.

          Not the worst option. Werner is dangerous good luck
