The Scoreboard presents all the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) numbers you need from Saturday’s matches on one screen.
As well as LiveFPL‘s rundown of the goals, assists and bonus points from the day’s FPL action, we’re bringing you a selection of the Opta stats that arrive in our Premium Members Area almost immediately after full-time in each fixture.
Our usual Scout Notes article, which summarises more of the main FPL talking points, notable manager quotes and injury news in extra detail, will follow later.
BRIEF ROUND-UP
The top-scoring defender, midfielder and forward in FPL right now are all on the books of Manchester City after the reigning champions’ latest comfortable victory.
Erling Haaland (£12.2m) passed a century of points with his 15th league strike of the season but he was outshone by team-mates Phil Foden (£8.1m) and Joao Cancelo (£7.2m), who registered double-digit hauls to leap to the FPL summit in their respective positions.
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur joined City in keeping a clean sheet on Saturday but many Fantasy managers would have missed out on the defensive returns, as Reece James (£6.1m) and Ivan Perisic (£5.6m) both had to make do with cameo second-half appearances. There were 11 changes between these two teams from midweek as rotation really kicked in.
Kieran Trippier (£5.5m) is behind only Cancelo for points in the defenders’ standings after he again compensated for a clean sheet loss with an attacking return (that’s now no blank at home since January for the Newcastle right-back), while Miguel Almiron‘s (£5.1m) fourth goal in seven matches means that he’s now FPL’s best value midfielder, at least when it comes to the somewhat limited ‘points per million’ metric.
Harry Kane (£11.4m) hasn’t blanked since Gameweek 1 after scoring Spurs’ match-winner at the Amex, with the England striker downplaying a late knock he took in the closing stages of the evening kick-off.
It was a decent day for budget forwards, too, as Patson Daka (£5.7m) and Dominic Solanke (£5.7m) both delivered attacking returns in Bournemouth’s 2-1 win over Leicester City: that’s now five games unbeaten for the Cherries under Gary O’Neil.
