Pogba’s creativity, Antonio’s xG, DCL’s threat: The key FPL stats for Gameweek 2

Football is back and we could hardly have asked for a better start from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Goals were flying in all over the place, so I figured I’d start the week with a good stats dive into the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area.

FPL points predictions for Gameweek 3 and beyond 3

WHICH PLAYERS CAUGHT THE EYE?

In terms of expected goal involvement (xGI), Michail Antonio (£7.5m) was the stand-out performer of the round with a 0.58 higher total than second-placed Christian Norgaard (£5.0m).

However, it is worth noting that Antonio’s non-penalty expected goals (non-pen xG) total was just 0.70, and as a result, he ranks eighth in that specific metric.

No player was afforded more big chances (three) than the Hammers’ frontman, but having missed his penalty he may no longer be the designated taker moving forward.

A popular target when the game launched, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) ranks third for non-pen xG (0.94) and no player across all positions took more shots in the box than the Toffees’ striker in Gameweek 1 (five).

Only Kieran Tierney (£5.0m) created more chances than Paul Pogba‘s (£7.6m) five. However, just one of the Frenchman’s five attempted assists was a big chance created and he also fluffed a golden opportunity when put through on goal in the first half. 

Adama Traore (£6.0m) really should have got on the scoresheet, too. The pacy winger took four shots in the box and was the biggest xG underperformer (0.81) of the Gameweek. He’s certainly one to monitor if he is going to be used in a similar role by Bruno Lage going forward.

Said Benrahma (6.0m) was a popular pick on the Fantasy Football Scout boards and the Algerian notched an xGI total of 0.51, which does not rank in the top 25 across all positions. He scored from his only shot on target, while the sole chance he created was converted, so he is one to monitor as well. 

WHICH PLAYERS NUMBERS ARE CONCERNING?

That’s all for now! We will be delving deeper into this data and more on The FPL Wire tomorrow. All my custom stats tables used in the article can be accessed in the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, and I’ve linked them below for convenience:

      You could downgrade him to a Brighton defender- they rotate well with Leeds side can play Ayling then bring in Brighton player when Leeds have a tough game. Would then give you 1 million to upgrade Fraser

            They could have conceded plenty - Arsenal were simply incompetent and that stadium was rocking - wouldn't base anything on the basis of that one match.

            Chances are they will be open and concede plenty. It's how they roll.

      Problem with very big at the back is that you'll never captain them, 5.5s offer slightly better p/£m/game and have several replacements at that pricepoint. The difference between a Robbo/vvd/TAA and a 5.5m is likely worst case scenario 20 points, best case 50 points. Would rather be playing with that 2m in midfield and up front. I think it buys more invested in rotating attackers and captain choices

      I think at the beginning of the season defenders clean sheets are more predictable than your 4th midfielders goals or assists. Plus your defender can have individual points too. I always start my season with 4 at the back.

          As an entity / entire team, I completely agree.

          My concern with city assets is i don’t get rewarded if the team wins, only if my player racks up good individual stats - assuming he even gets game time.

          If they got hit by a large number of injuries there’s plenty of players I’d love to own. But I’m currently steering clear.

      Was on the bench for this week, will be on the bench next two weeks - then I think he's playable as Arsenal have decent fixtures and he should be decent for bonus due to passes. Still think Arsenal defense is fine, was decent last season, if only because Arteta sucks the creativity out of his side and plays far too conservatively.

    Anyone else find their players are coming from different teams over recent seasons?

    Eg it used to be a struggle to pick which 3 city to get. Recently I have only 1 city at the most. Often zero like now.

    Whereas I currently have 3 villa players and 3 West Ham!

    Last year it was lots of Leeds and others.

    I mean, pool still provide a picking challenge, but spme of the larger teams have huge squads now, and that means a lot of their players get rotated more than ever. Or so it feels.
