At the end of Wednesday’s Gameweek 14 fixtures, our Scoreboard rounds up all the action.
Included in this article are the day’s leading teams and players for shots, chances created and expected goals (xG). This is official Opta data from our Premium Members Area, which is available for our subscribers after full-time in every Premier League game.
Meanwhile, the attacking returns and projected bonus points are from LiveFPL.
A reminder that these are the ‘current’ bonus projections. The Bonus Points System is being revised this season, so there could be further changes over the next 24 hours.
WEDNESDAY IN BRIEF
There were 25 goals on Wednesday, the most in a single matchday this season. Almost half of them were scored at St James’ Park and St Mary’s.
Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) continued his fresh assault on the FPL record books with yet another double-digit haul, his 10th of the season. That’s more than he got in the entirety of last season.
Alexander Isak (£8.4m) shrugged off an injury to secure 11 points of his own as Newcastle United and Liverpool served up a six-goal thriller.
Salah’s exploits once again put the other premiums in the shade. Bukayo Saka (£10.4m) blanked in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Manchester United. Erling Haaland (£15.0m) could only contribute an assist in Manchester City’s 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. Cole Palmer (£11.0m) was on the scoresheet, but one solitary goal in Chelsea’s trouncing of 10-man Southampton felt underwhelming – particularly as his expected goal involvement (xG) figure (1.82) was the highest in the division on Wednesday.
At least Palmer got on the pitch. Gameweek 14’s most-bought player, Nicolas Jackson (£8.2m), watched the goals fly in from the bench, while Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.2m) missed out on an Arsenal clean sheet – and two more set-piece goals – through injury. Rico Lewis (£4.7m) owners also couldn’t enjoy the shut-out points at the Etihad, just City’s second in 13 Gameweeks, as he was reduced to a second-half cameo.
Even Everton got in on the goals bonanza with a four-goal win over beleaguered Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Ashley Young (£4.6m) somehow climbing to joint-fourth in the FPL defenders’ points table in the process.
Aston Villa meanwhile bounced back to winning ways, with Morgan Rogers (£5.3m) scoring at home for the first time this season. Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) netted a penalty in the same game.
