With three weeks of player and team statistics to analyse and patterns starting to develop, our Big Numbers series returns for 2019/20.

Ahead of this Saturday’s deadline, we take a look at the data available to subscribers in our Members’ area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest to Fantasy managers’ and could help shape transfer decisions.

We’ve run down the stand-out figures in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could have a profitable Gameweek 4.

Members can read on for our analysis below.

      Pretty decent chance Haller bags +5 more points than Jota but Barnes gw5 onwards looks tasty too. Tough call not sure sorry haha but Jota worst of those 3 right now

            Not thinking rest he’s had one recently anyway. Just using up his quota in EL. Comment based on recent Jota ownership 🙁

            Also down on Wolves in the league generally- so very goal shy. It’d be a stretch to see him scoring twice in a week at the rate they’re going.

    A. Mount (rise).
    B. Haller (rise).
    C. Cantwell (rise)
    D. King (drop)

    Martial looks safe from a drop but I've been awful at judging price changes lately.
