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.

    Last poll this eve:

    A. Vardy + Maupay, and 0.8 ITB to have option of upgrading Havertz to Son after IB

    B. Ings + Jiménez and 0.3ITB

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

      A

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

      Brighton look good going forward, and vardy is on fire

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

        From 12 yards

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

      B for me

    4. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      B. Ings and Jim better fixtures short term

    5. Begbie.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      B and I'd rather do Havertz > Pulisic tbh.

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

        I might wanna do this transfer eventually but I'll only ever do it If I've nothing else that needs to be done. So sideways. Could end up costing you

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

    I’m thinking of getting double Liverpool attack after the Everton game, what are ppls thoughts?

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

      Good shout but would probably mean sacrificing KDB/Raz?

      I'd rather a defensive double up

    2. The Son-dance Kid
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Getting TAA and Robbo (plus 1 of Salah/Mane) is kind of like doubling up on Liverpool attack with the added benefit of 8 points for a clean sheet. The idea being that most games you'll get 1 attacking return from one of the two full backs

  3. 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

    A) Save for international break
    B) Werner -> DCL (rising tonight)
    C) Werner & ASM -> DCL & Foden (or Greenwood) for a hit

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

      I’d hold werner has two Good fixtures

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

      A and re-asses injuries etc with money in bank and 2 FT's after end of transfer window.

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

      I think I'm leaning towards B.... TV in the back of my mind. I have Havertz for Chelsea cover....

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

        Offensive players don't cover eachother

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

          Fair

  4. Scout15
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Who do you reckon is the best 6m or less option?

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

      Bamford?

      1. Scout15
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        forgot to say the midfielder option 🙂

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

          Can you find the extra 0.6 for Foden?

          1. Scout15
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 days ago

            Tried but couldn't

        2. Warbling Wendy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          I like McGinn, Barkley may rock the boat though

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

      Trossard Is a very Good player and gets returns

      1. Warbling Wendy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        good shout, good numbers

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

      Been searching in the same bracket & I've settled for Klitch

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

      Townsend

  5. TEKKERS FC
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    0.3 off this team, rotating defenders...

    Ryan (4.0)
    Justin, Dallas, Walker-Peters (Targett, Mitchell)
    Salah, Auby, KDB, Bruno (Mendy)
    DLC, Wilson, Mitrovic

    All mids and fwds on pens for their teams besides DLC. With no one keeping cleanies and there being record amount of pens, maybe this is the way to go.

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

      I’d go Maupay over Wilson

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

        On pens too

      2. TEKKERS FC
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah just did Wilson cos hes .1 cheaper haha... If i want to stay true I can do DCL to Maupay but its too hard to do!

    2. Sterling Malory
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Target to Dunne?

      1. TEKKERS FC
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        I like full backs more chance to hit on assists/bps considering they wont keep cleanies much...

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      really nees a pool defender in taa or robbo imo, wilson and mitro certainly aren't worth it.

    4. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Small at the back and the front, big in the middle, this team is pregnant

      1. TEKKERS FC
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Hahaha thats gold

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

    On WC. Semedo or Boly?

    Worried about Semedo getting benched

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

      Go Saïss

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

        Was an option but playing catch up in my mini leagues & need a differential even if from same team

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

          Semedo would be more differential then mate

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

      Semedo

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      I don't think they spent 28m on Semedo to leave him on the bench.

  7. Kloppcorn
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    I’m thinking of getting double Liverpool attack after the Everton game, what are people’s thoughts?

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

      Same as my answer a few posts up 🙂

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

        Sorry mate, with the lack of clean sheets I only want one defender from each team, Liverpool have a good run of games captain salah at home mane away

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

          Fair enough. How would you fit both?

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

    A) Maupay, Sterling
    B) Jimenez, Rashford

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

      B just for me

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

      B personally

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

      Anything with Sterling(C) in it

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

        Want to captain sterling, but unbalances team so may just go kdb

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

          Oh then definitely B if you've already got KDB

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

      Looking at A myself

    5. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      I haven't forgotten what a shot waster Maupay was last year, B

  9. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Play Davies or Mitchell this gw?

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

      Davies

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

      Davies but may hit him out

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

      Davies.. Mind giving me a shout below buddy?

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

    Martial and Rashford to Sterling (C) and Maupay?

    Current team is:
    McCarthy
    Robbo, Trent, Bertrand, Saiss
    KDB, James, Rashford
    DCL, Werner, Martial

    Martial dropping very deep is a concern for me, but Werner could be on the chopping block too, but for me he has looked far more involved than Martial

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

    Rashford and Semedo
    or
    Barnes and Robertson

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      B and it isn’t close

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

        Not a fan of Rashy and Ole's tricky reds?

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          I love Rash dearly but just feel the upside is much higher in B

          1. I Must Break You
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 days ago

            Semedo/Wolves a bit of an unknown still as well, versus you know exactly what you get with Robertson/Liv. And with Barnes and Leicester playing well at the moment, it's kind of a no-brainer.

    2. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      B

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

      B

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

      B

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

    What to do here?

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

    A) Son -> Mahrez
    B) Son + Davies -> Max 7.5 mid + Robertson
    C) Something else

    Completely lost here

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

      1 FT 0.5 itb*

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

      Son > Barnes and have some money itb for after the break?

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

        Considering getting Robbo in as well for Davies for a hit.. Robbo could return the favour and then I got cover for Podence?

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

          Do it.

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

            Madisson, Barnes or Foden though?

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

              Barnes for me

  13. AD2110
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    I’m on a -8 already with this team. Would you hit the WC to cancel out the hits and get DCL? I wanted to save my WC for as long as poss but kinda stuck on what to do now as I wouldn’t make many changes either

    McCarthy
    TAA, Justin, Taylor, (Mitchell, Douglas)
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Podence (Bissouma)
    Mitro, Ings, Jimi

    Was thinking:

    A) Ings + Bruno
    B) DCL + Sterling

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

      Nah, save wc. Team is fine for now.

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

    Chances of KDB going up in price before the GW?

    1. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Could go either way

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

        I'm trying to decipher the fplstatistics tool but to no avail

        Says delta: 5329 Target: 94.8

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          If FPLstatistics is correct, he's got just over 48 hours (until 2:30 AM Saturday morning) to get 5329 more net buyers. Seems like it should happen.

          However, they have overpredicted rises (and falls) so far.

        2. FPL Daniel
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          I think he will go up Friday night

  15. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Anyone else going to pull the trigger on Werner -> DCL?

    1. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      *pulls*

      1. Warbling Wendy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        *DCL head goes pop*

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Been thinking about it the whole week but can't seem to do it

      1. Warbling Wendy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        If you haven't managed it by now it's probably not the right move for you

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          It's that Liverpool fixture that's putting me off

    3. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 days ago

      I did exactly this! Don't trust Werner (and Chelsea) for now.

  16. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    So i just had chance to read comments from Mou on Son's injury:

    "He's a doubt for Sunday, a big doubt."

    "I don't want to say he doesn't play and then he does because my position is in doubt."

    So either hes done his hamstring in or not? seems a bit odd that he hasn't been completely ruled out. Maybe wishful thinking as an owner but is this Mourinho keeping his cards close as he knows that Son is actually going to be back for Sunday against UTD?

    1. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Magic Mourinho always has some cards up his sleeve

  17. HD7
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    On WC:

    Mccarthy
    TAA Semedo Justin Dunne
    Salah KDB Hamez Zaha
    Vardy Jimi

    Button Mitchell Stephens Davis

    Switch to 4-3-3 (Hamez to DCL) ?

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

      #SemedoGang

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        ?

    2. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Dunne and Mitchell is digging a hole you will inevitably have to waste a transfer on getting out of at some point

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Well you need to have some bench fodders too

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Yes, Hamez is a top player but DCL is a better FPL asset.

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Thanks

  18. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Thoughts on Martial, Podence to DCL, Mahrez (-4)... not sure Mahrez starts and if Podence starts I think he’ll haul :/

    1. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Mahrez might not even play

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah, too risky

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

      Unless Podence is ruled out it looks like a bad transfer. Would rather save and have better cards to deal with in IB

  19. Begbie.
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Martinez
    TAA, James, Castagne
    Salah, Mane, Greenwood, Zaha, Trossard
    DCL, Jimenez

    Steer, Lamptey, Mitchell, Davis

    A) Keep as is
    B) Mane + Zaha > Sterling + Barnes

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Amazing different type of a team. I am in love. I would probably do Mane to Sterling

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

        Cheers!

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

      Zaha's fixtures are about to turn golden...

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

        Yeah I agree but Barnes next two are lovely as well which sways me 😀 Think I'll stick with Zaha though as he's on pens.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 8 days ago

    Is Sterling suddenly a way better fpl pick? He massively outscored KDB in the cup

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

      Nah. KDB is more consistent and less of a rotation risk

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

    Werner -> DCL done. 2.5 ITB

    ASM -> Foden -4?

    Could also go with Greenwood or Zaha

    Can obviously wait but if ASM is out....

    Bench: Bissouma, Johnson, Mitchell

    1. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      I like Foden at Leeds

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

        Yeah me too but Zaha's fixtures thereafter are ridiculous. I think I'm going with him...

      2am no?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        I am doing my part still not pressing the WC button in order transfers to count. Everyone should be doing that

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

          I'm not on WC? Heard horror stories of people not pressing it. What if you fall asleep or there's a power cut or something?

        2. E25
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 days ago

          Or.... don't blow your load early on transfers like the casuals this time of the season 🙂

    Keep Podence or bring in Foden or anyone under 8.4m for -4? Burke first on bench

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      I’d say you’re good

    2. E25
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Hopefully you'll be good. Hold on for pressers/other cup games and reassess Friday

    Thinking this is settled for this week.
    Mini wildcard over the International Break sounds like a good plan. Thoughts?

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

      GTG although consider KDB as C as Sterling played full 90 ?

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Yes I am back and forth. Cheers, thank you.

        Flyin' like an aeroplane

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

          airplane*? either or

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

    Foden, Barnes or Maddison?

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Maddison if fully fit

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

      Barnes

    3. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      I think Foden, if held, is a glorious pick. He's my 6-7 this year.

      1. Warbling Wendy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        assuming you have a couple of 4.5 defs to cover him on the bench

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

          I do went with Foden thanks

    4. Nightrain_
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      If i can get Barnes and Foden, that's good but if i have to pick one then Foden

    5. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      i have Barnes & Foden myself

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

    Martial and Rashford to Sterling (C) and Maupay?

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

      No

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

      I would keep Rashford

      The captaincy is a zero-sum factor, since you are removing it from someone else. Few understand this.

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

    Which is better for a 2 to 3 week punt, Mahrez or Barnes?

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

      Barnes

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

      Or Foden?

    3. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Barnes

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 8 days ago

        Mahrez. Barnes is more a long term pick

    4. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 days ago

      Barnes for me, less of a rotation risk too
