Goals + assists imminent! Who is ‘due’ in FPL Gameweek 25?

You’ve probably heard about Joe’s much-liked ‘Goals Imminent’ table. You might listen to his and Marc’s Fantasy Football Scout podcast of the same name. Now, Goals Imminent is here in article form!

Heading towards Gameweek 25 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.

LAST WEEK’S SUCCESSES

FPL notes: Foden + Cherki shine in another Haaland blank 2

The name on top of Gameweek 24’s list, Kevin Schade (£7.1m), instead received a straight red card at Villa Park! He’ll miss the next two league matches.

Things were better for Rayan Cherki (£6.6m) and Jarrod Bowen (£7.6m), though. We spoke about the Frenchman being more about setting up goals, rather than netting for himself, but he put Manchester City ahead on Sunday afternoon, played in by Erling Haaland (£15.0m).

Bowen has two goals in two, pushing him off this week’s table.

Yet the main successes came from predicted assistors, despite only six of the nine being able to play.

Casemiro (£5.5m) and Pascal Gross (£5.5m) registered 13 and 12 points, respectively, while Crysencio Summerville (£5.5m) scored for the third time in a row.

GOALS IMMINENT

The first table shows players who’ve accumulated at least nine shots over the latest four Gameweeks, but scored no more than one goal.

      VAR can't impact something once the ball is back in play (I believe). So that instance can't technically happen.

      gabriel tc in 26, i mean he's getting at least 12 points across those 2 matches aint he, defcon likely in one, a goal possible, 1 clean sheet.

      wait and hope a liverpool/united/city etc attacker gets a tasty double later or just be happy to get 12-16 from gabriel, and if he gets more it'd be a nice bonus

              Thats true. Its not a bad pick Gab by any stretch. I fear his goalscoring threat has reduced a lot though and it was entirely set piece anyway and will he DC in those games? Feels a bit clean or bust. Obviously Haaland is goal or bust too

          Haaland's double likely to be GW33 if it happens. Most of us I suspect have WC32 BB33 in mind. Won't be as easy to set up for BB36 from WC32.

        I'm not convinced. I still want to keep Thiago & Ekitike from 27, and its then a toss-up between using my few transfers for Thiago > Pedro > Thiago or a 3rd Arsenal in & out before GW31.

        I guess if you've got 4 or 5 transfers in hand, or are prepared to keep him longer term, he's worth a crack.
