First came Joe’s much-liked ‘Goals Imminent’ table. Then, the Fantasy Football Scout podcast of the same name. Now, Goals Imminent is a regular in article form!
Heading towards Gameweek 15 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), these Members Area statistics identify some underachieving players who look ‘due’ for a goal and/or assist.
Naturally, we’ll attempt to assess whether they’re unlucky, suffering a rare blip, or just aren’t particularly good.

HOW DID GAMEWEEKS 13 + 14 GO?
Due to this week’s tight turnarounds, we’ve not yet looked back on Gameweek 13’s names.
Bruno Fernandes (£9.0m) didn’t score versus Crystal Palace but did assist twice, as Cody Gakpo (£7.5m) brought in 14 points at West Ham United. Consecutive braces have seen Phil Foden (£8.3m) make a mockery of his mere assist prediction.
Bukayo Saka (£10.1m) has recently appeared on both tables, successfully assisting at Chelsea before coming off the bench to grab a Gameweek 14 goal.
That’s a nice segue to the midweek lists, which we recorded a podcast for. Jeremy Doku (£6.6m) set up two Manchester City strikes and, while Jarrod Bowen (£7.5m) didn’t score, he caused the Hammers’ equaliser at Old Trafford.
After weeks of lurking around here, Igor Jesus (£5.8m) finally scored his first Premier League goal. Plus, Donyell Malen (£5.1m) netted Aston Villa’s fourth at Brighton and Hove Albion.
