At the end of Saturday’s Gameweek 18 matches, our Scoreboard rounds up the Fantasy numbers.

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 taken from our Members Area.

Meanwhile, the goals, assists and bonus summaries are from LiveFPL.

And, new for 2025/26, we’ll also round up Saturday’s defensive contribution (DC/DefCon) points.

We’re still awaiting the numbers arriving from Chelsea v Aston Villa. We’ll update this article when the data comes through.

      Was planning Semenyo to Cunha with FT, but now wondering if selling Foden instead might be better? Would give me an extra £1.4m for a rainy day too. Thought?

        A lot of uncertainty of Semenyo’s role/minutes at Man City and Foden still looking dangerous.

          Cheers. I get that, but it’s not like he’s new to the league or not fit. He could potentially walk straight into the team, maybe at Foden’s expense 😉

        Got a defence of VVD Hincapie Lacroix Senesi Anderson.

        Do Hincapie > Dorgu? Would likely WC early & shift at least 2 of the others after that, Bournemouth defence a bomb scare & VVD is the worst pick in the game.

              I'd have to deal with Semenyo shortly thereafter & probably Thiago too

          Any of these transfer worth doing

          A- Semenyo>> Rogers before price rise
          B- Foden> Cherki allows extra funds
          C- Hold

          Sold Rogers for Saka > Rogers braces back-to-back
          Sold Pedro for Thiago > Pedro scores, Thiago blanks v Wolves

          After weeks of starting Dubravka, bring in Sanchez on wildcard -> Dubravka 11 pointer
          Sold Semenyo for Rogers > Semenyo scores, Rogers booked, Semenyo not booked

          At least Ekitike(c) & Keane did ok.

          I'll let you know what I do next week!

          How to improve on perfection? Other than Sels out? And maybe Timber and Semenyo. Szoboszlai and Bruno G ain't great picks either.

          Sels
          Gvardiol, Nunes, Keane
          Saka, Szoboszlai, Bruno G, Semenyo
          Haaland, Ekitike, Thiago
