If you’re a keen user of our ever-expanding Members Area, you may have noticed some new additions over the weekend.

WHAT ARE THE NEW STATS + WHERE CAN I FIND THEM?

There are four new metrics, all of which can be found in the ‘Involvement’ tabs in ‘Player Stats’.

They are as follows:

  • Shot Share (SS%)
  • Shot Share Non-Penalty (NP%)
  • Chance Involvement (CI%)
  • Chance Involvement Non-Penalty (NP%)

They can be found under ‘Shots’ and ‘Chances’ in the aforementioned ‘Involvement’ tabs:

new Members Area

WHAT DO THE NEW STATS MEAN?

There are some explanations when you roll over each stat in the Members Area, like so:

In a nutshell, they tell us the percentage of their team’s shots a player has taken (all shots = SS%, non-penalty shots = NP%) and the percentage of their team’s chances a player has either created or shot themselves (all chances = CI%, non-penalty chances = NP%) while on the pitch.

HOW CAN THEY BE USEFUL?

Basically, they tell us how important a player is to their team’s attack and help us to identify talismen.

It’s similar to the ‘Goal Involvement’ (GI) stat but with goals being relatively rare events, shots can perhaps tell us a bit more.

For instance, here’s a comparison of Erling Haaland (£14.5m) and Mohamed Salah (£14.4m) from the first seven Gameweeks of 2025/26:

We’ll be using this stat in articles to come in the future, and we hope you find it useful in your week-to-week Fantasy research, too!

    Socrates has scored.

    VDV -> Gabriel is my plan, to correct no Arsenal defence error. Anything you'd do for -4?

    Roefs Dub
    Gab* Senesi Richards Andersen Mukiele
    Gordon Semenyo Kudus Ndiaye King
    Haaland Gyok Mateta

    Would still have 4.4 itb.

    Raya
    Richards Esteve VdV (Tosin Andersen)
    Salah Bruno Semenyo Reijnders KDH
    Haaland Pedro (Guiu)

    0,0 in bank and 1FT

    Need to wildcard?

    I still think this is quite strong. The main changes on WC would probably be downgrading Salah to Saka and get Gabriel and Senesi in. Not confident on any striker to have with Haaland. The plan is to WC in 13, sell Salah to Saka in gw, upgrade Guiu to Mateta and Tosin to Gabriel and Bench Boost. So which option is better:

    A. WC now
    B. Ride it out until gw 13 (with the option to WC earlier if needed)

    Thanks.

    1. Gazwaz80

      100% wildcard that team…

    2. ChelseaKTBFF
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Idk if WC is absolutely necesary

      however your defence needs some work, maybe 3 transfers worth of work but 2 could work

      Salah > Saka
      Tosin > Gabriel

    Isak and Tavernier to Mateta and Mbeumo?

      I can’t even begin to fathom the thinking behind this.

      1. MJF

        Fathom it.

        1. The Knights Template

          I can’t.

            I will leave it to others to fathom.

              Because I can’t.

    Who's the better option?! Kudus, or Sarr?! Thinking the former, but happy to hear opinions!

    1. MJF
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Both solid options I think. Both going to play a lot of minutes with Europe.

    2. BR510
      1 year, 1 month ago

      replying to tafontour1 - would go sarr with tottenham having ucl, fixtures turnng and less goal threat• sarr is betterin harder fixtures/more fixture proof and in arguably a better perflrming team. kudus good sout

    Worth a wc?

      Theres prob 4 or 5 baddies theres, I prefer a wc instead of later when you get 5 frees

      1. JT11fc
        1 year, 1 month ago

        WC now

    2. Chinese_person
      1 year, 1 month ago

      nah

      1. BR510
        1 year, 1 month ago

        why not? better now than later as we get the 5 frees in 15

        1. ChelseaKTBFF
          1 year, 1 month ago

          seems slightly forced

          You only REALLY need to get rid of Xavi and Dorgu

          With liverpools fixtures both Gakpo and Ekitike are decent differentials

          1. BR510
            1 year, 1 month ago

            yea thanks - whats mking me want to wc is the fact that i could wc and then roll lots of trasfersto get until 11/12 and then get new 5 frees in 16

          2. BR510
            1 year, 1 month ago

            xavi and tarko > saka and burn -4? Or just gakpo to saka? Utd fan and we look weakest down the right hand side so gakpo could be good?

  7. JT11fc
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Biggest success for me this season has been moving on from bad assets quickly.

    Biggest mistake has been taking hits on punts...

    1. Chinese_person
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Which were your bad assets?

      1. JT11fc
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Rogers, Wirtz, Porro and Vvd at the right times

        1. Chinese_person
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Porro and vvd have been alright but probably not worth their prices tbf

          1. JT11fc
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Got rid Porro gw4 and Vvd gw6, just the value as you say

    2. MJF
      1 year, 1 month ago

      For me getting lucky on chips has put me at a great rank so far, but I am liable to shoot myself in the foot with silly moves when the obvious is starring me in the face!

      1. JT11fc
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Haha at least you earnt the right to make a few blunders

    3. SpaceCadet
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Held on to watkins for too long, time to offload.

      1. JT11fc
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Glad I dodged that one, easy to keep hoping

    4. g40steve
      1 year, 1 month ago

      This is the difference between 6 figure ranks & 7/8 figure ranks 😉

    5. luke
      1 year, 1 month ago

      The strategy of using all the chips up front to get ahead and an idea of players in form or not has worked so far, the swop from Salah to Haarland early was key. The worry now is injuries and no outs - critical to build free transfers while maintaining rank.

  8. BR510
    1 year, 1 month ago

    agreed - punts on xavi, gibbs white and dorgu did not go well. i think i will wc and roll transfers and then we get the 5 freesin 15• cheers

  9. BR510
    1 year, 1 month ago

    i had wirtz and palmer too but moved them on pretty quickly

    1. JT11fc
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Wirtz went after gw1 for me

      1. _Greg
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Same, went straight to Reijnders. Made 0.1m and sold him on, like the 0.1m I made on Doku this week.

  10. SpaceCadet
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Worth a hit here to play the Bb chip? Have 1 ft and Watkins and Anderson to deal with.

    A. Watkins > Wolte, no BB
    B. Watkins Anderson > Wolte Sarr -4, BB

    Sanchez
    Gabriel Munoz gudmundsson
    Saka semenyo reijnders Enzo
    Haaland Watkins pedro

    Dubravka Senesi vdv Anderson

    1. The FPL Units

      BB is not worth a hit

      1. SpaceCadet
        1 year, 1 month ago

        So just watkins out?

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Yes

          1. SpaceCadet
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Thanks. Selling for one of bowen or wolte.

    2. BR510
      1 year, 1 month ago

      watkins > bowen and anderson > sarr/kudus/anthony for -4 and bb but if no bb just th first one

      1. SpaceCadet
        1 year, 1 month ago

        That's the question - to bb or not?

  11. Ha.
    1 year, 1 month ago

    How's this for a WC?

    Raya Dubravka
    Timber Richards, Senesi Keane Esteve
    Semenyo Ndiaye Reijnders Saka Kudus
    Haaland Bowen Woltemade

    1. ChelseaKTBFF
      1 year, 1 month ago

      only percievable cracks are Bowen and Woltemade

      Keane over Tarko is an odd pick

      Esteve not likely to get CS ever might be worth going up to 4.5m

      1. Ha.
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thanks

        I like the Bowen and Woltemade picks personally - who else would you have? Not much on offer in the Forwards at the moment

        Not sure why it's odd - Tarko is 1.0m more

        Esteve can be any 4.0 fodder but he seems good on DC...

    2. JT11fc
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Pretty good if you have a clear plan for benching an attacker each gw

      1. Ha.
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Absolutely not - but that's a problem for each week!

        1. JT11fc
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Not the worst problem for sure

    3. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Ndiaye > Sarr
      Reijnders - not returning enough for me
      Like the Bowen punt
      Can you squeeze another Ars defender in?

      1. Ha.
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I like Sarr but is he on pens?

        And tempted to move Reijnders on, but I just know he will start returning if I do

        Already have 3x Arsenal and double up on def

    4. MJF
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Unless you're planning to BB soon, I would rather have King over Reijnders and bank the cash in case someone like Palmer becomes an option.

      1. Ha.
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Not a bad idea

    5. Kingy109
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think the problem with Keane is 1) he went off early so maybe might be injured 2) Branthwaite will be back at some point so will need replacing then anyway

      I'd just go Anderson or another 4.5.

      I'd also suggest a cheaper 8th attacker than Reijnders - Stach/Xhaka/KDH/King etc

      Enzo over Ndiaye or Kudus if you don't fancy Sarr (could be on pens, great fixtures)

  12. ChelseaKTBFF

    Gabriel Senesi Gvardiol Tarko Esteve

    Who to move to Gabriel?

    a) VdV
    b) Rodon
    c) Esteve

    1. Ha.
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B

    2. The FPL Units

      A

      1 year, 1 month ago

      C

    4. MJF
      1 year, 1 month ago

      VDV as it leaves more in the bank, but if you wanna get rid of a 4.0 I would go Esteve first. Rodon looks handy from a corner, almost scored on Saturday, and I think Leeds will do better than Burnley.

    5. Weak Become Heros

    Pope Dubs

    Why are folks selling Isak?

    Isak has been getting the minutes to build his match fitness and sharpness. This period effectively has been his preseason and he will have the two upcoming international games for Sweden.

    He should be ready to start making significant contributions after the IB.

    1. x.jim.x
      1 year, 1 month ago

      £10.5m is a lot of money for an unfit striker playing for a team who have been bad without pens to fall back on. I agree with you that it doesn't make sense to drop him now if you jumped on him early though.

      1. The FPL Units

        First part is fine for non-owners. The second part is the main point of my post.

    2. Hairy Potter

      Might be worth watching his goals from last season. Then seeing how many of those fit in with how Liverpool play.

  16. The Mantis

    1 year, 1 month ago

    Didn't want to make early transfers on IB but have exact funds and don't want to be priced out. 2 FT's, shall I do Foden & Gyokeres to Saka and Woltemade now?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'd WC if you have it and have 2ft next week.

      1. The Mantis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        ah used that already, thought Foden was a good idea (again) - always stings me. Pretty much wanted Saka in my team asap

    2. Tonyawesome69
      1 year, 1 month ago

      They aren't close to changing in price

      1. The Mantis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Oh thanks, didn't realise that! I can hold tight. May even keep Foden 1 more week

    Dubravka Rodon Alderete 4.3

    1. The FPL Units

      Nice and a bit off template

    2. BR510
      1 year, 1 month ago

      i would downgrade gordon to caicedo/anthony and upgrade dcl to woltemade/mateta personally• otherwise you are playing either dcl/4•3 or rodon/alderete every week• otherwise quite like it

    3. Silecro
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Alisson will not be that long out, its presumed to be max of 6 weeks, you'll have to spent transfer(s) on gk then, i would solve that right now, its not like pools defence is watertight now

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Could get Areola instead.

    4. CoracAld2831
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Okay, not a fan of DCL and i'm nit sure about Mamardashvili.

    5. BR510
      1 year, 1 month ago

      i would do saliba, dcl, gordon and mamar to calafiori, woltemade, caicedo and roefs/pope if affordable

    6. Conners
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'd wager Woltemade / Bowen comfortably outscores Salah / DCL for the next few GWs.

    7. g40steve
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Take Salah out & you can get any combo you like with spare cash?

      Slot’s got too many options up front & the weak link is currently Salah, the others are tracking back & putting in a shift.
      Pool are conceding too easily & fingers are pointing.
      Last year Nunez did a lot of carrying & Trent dropping balls at Salah’s feet are gone.
      They kept Gakpo & let Diaz go & he’s ripping up his new league, unlike Wirtz & other big names that moved to the prem 😉

        I'm all for dumping on Liverpool, but Nunez started 8 games last year and I didn't see a single person (fan or not) disagree with selling Diaz for mental money.

      not a fan to be honest and setting yourself up with issues.

      It's off template sure, but i think too much so and you'll have buyers remorse

      Gakpo I think outside of Salah.

      Liverpool's wheels are coming off. I'd stay clear if I were you.

    3. Weak Become Heros

      Gakpo but all risky imo.

      Gakpo seems the best atm, but I'd be tempted by Isak to be honest. He will click soon and getting fitter so it's only a matter of time before he starts delivering points.

      Whether you need any liverpool at the moment is also the question but if you are set on it, then I think Isak is the guy

          Nice one I was 136k on Sat but Sun dropped me to 270k, first slight red even with 70, so currently setting up WC 😉

    2. Conners
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Well played.

      I'm still in the process of repairing my team after a terrible WC.

      Top 500k would be a good result the way things are going. Disappointing after 5 consecutive top 1% finishes.

    Team set up:

    Dubravka
    VVD / Munoz / Gabriel
    Semenyo / Kudus / Saka / Reijnders
    Haaland / Gyokeres / Woltemade

    Petrovic / Senesi / Dewsbury-Hall / Gudmundsson

    1. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      if you have 7 players you want out, then wildcard now. Do it early in the international break to catch rises (arguably might have missed a fair few by now though).

    2. The Knights Template
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Right now buddy, if not sooner!

  30. BR510
    1 year, 1 month ago
