Joe’s highly popular ‘Goals Imminent’ statistics from the Members Area is the basis for this weekly article.

Heading towards Gameweek 29 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), we try to identify some more 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: Thiago injury update +

Heading into Gameweek 28, we mentioned how TopMarx’s Lucky Finishers table suggested that Igor Thiago (£7.1m) had been unfortunate not to grab at least one non-penalty goal in his previous four.

Well, at Burnley, the Brazilian latched onto a lovely through ball and placed his left-footed shot into the net.

Merseyside duo James Garner (£5.2m) and Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.9m) set up goals, meanwhile – although such are their levels of creativity that they remain on the ‘Assists Imminent’ table.

    is frimpong worth a shout? Or just bring in VVD and be safe

    1. Amartey Partey

      VVD better pick for so many reasons

    What moves would U be looking at here??

    4 FTs

    I guess timber to VVD is one but not sure about he rest.

    Sanchez Dub

    Timber Gabriel Guehi Andersen (alderete)

    Mbuemo Bruno Wilson Semenyo (Enzo)

    Haaland Thiago (Pedro)

      Enzo out for someone

    It would be typical fpl for Rogers to haul on Wednesday night 😉

      The cycle repeats itself constantly - someone blanks for a few GWs, everyone sells, player returns, everyone curses.

      The law of mean reversion applies - and Roger's mean is higher than average so he will absolutely return soon. So prioritising selling him when your team has loads of flags is just madness.

    Don’t see anyone mentioning Free Hit in GW31 - am I mad for planning to do it for some reason?

    1. Amartey Partey

      Most managers can field 10 or 11 players so they are saving it for a bigger BGW or DGW

      Quite a number of folks have committed to navigating 31 without FH.

      The teams that double in 33 will likely blank in 34, which is tricky to navigate without FH. So people saving for that in the main I think.

    3. Nightcrawler

      I would only do it if U have a bunch of arsenal and city players and a lot of FTs already saved up

    Evening all,

    Going to get ekitikae for Kroupi but need to raise 0.9 elsewhere. Thinking Sanchez & Kroupi > Darlow & Ekitike -4, thoughts?

    Leaves me with
    Darlow
    Munoz / Gabriel / Virgil
    Fernandes / rice / semenyo / Wilson
    Haaland / Ekitike / Thiago

    Dubravka / Roger’s / hill. / Mukiele

      I am planning to sell Rice to one of the Bournemouth players (Rayan or Tavernier), maybe would work for you as well? Rice is a doubt and he's blanking in 31, so good selling point possibly.

    no laughing please,mane to dcl is looking like an option for me

      Legit pick for the rest of the season

    How is a winner determined if two players have the same amount of points AND the same amount of transfers? Are there any additional ways for the game to separate players?

      The team registered earlier wins.

        Finally a way to beat the casuals

    Rice and Rogers to Szoboszlai and Semenyo for -4?

    “ Despite having Liverpool’s highest expected goal involvement (xGI) versus West Ham United, he avoided all attacking returns.”

    That’s been my luck
