After another testing day of captaincy fails, blanks and benchings, our Scoreboard rounds up Saturday’s Fantasy numbers.

Here, you’ll find the 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.

      Certainly a lot of disappointment amongst all us owners.
      The rotation options are worrying.
      Possibly can give him one more GW and then reassess.
      I'm personally considering moving him on from now due to risk of rotation and Ch League.

        Looking at
        GW23: O'Reilly, Foden > Mukiele, Enzo
        GW24: BrunoG/Wirtz > BrunoF

        Would still leave me with Ekitike & Woltemade. Who I'd prefer to lose, over BG/Wirtz, so might have to take a hit in 24 (Eki, Wilson > JPed, BrunoF)

      palmer/saka/salah these guys arent worth their price tag in a normal seaosn but you'd still think they will comfortably outscore their 6-8 counterparts. so maybe not worth the price, but you can afford to carry at least one of these guys i think

    Hey mates

    Will we have DGWs in the spring like the years before? Wondering about the chips if we will use them again in some DGW strategy this season again

      We will, and there will be reams and reams written about it on here beforehand for you to soak up before making a decision. Just sit back, relax, and let the content flow!

      The soothsayers have foretold chance of 26/27, likely 33 & 36.
