Four Gameweeks have passed and I thought it might be a good idea to take note of some statistics from the Premium Members Area that have caught my eye so far. Of course, I know that four Gameweeks is not a sufficient sample size, so I will try my best to contextualise things as well.
SALAH’S CREATIVITY
It is not like we needed any more reason to strengthen our belief in Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) but the fact remains that there is a greater case for him now simply because the avenues to points have increased. He’s always had incredibly strong underlying numbers when it comes to goal threat, which is also the case this year. Only two players, Sadio Mane (£11.9m) and Michail Antonio (£7.9m), have had more big chances, shots and shots in the box than him. This is something we always expect from the Egyptian.
The cherry on the cake, though, is that Salah is also table-topping the creative stats. Only two players are ahead of him in the chances created and the big chances created metrics. His historical chances created per 90 minutes numbers are below:
