FPL Gameweek 25: analysis of the key underlying stats

Our next article in the Members Articles Unlocked series is our Big Numbers piece.

In this regular feature, we take a look at the vast array of data available in our Members’ Area and present the eye-catching stats that may be of interest.

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 shine in Gameweek 25 and beyond.

Usually, only subscribers can read this article but we’re making this particular piece free to read for one week only.

GOALKEEPERS

85.7% of the shots that Alisson (£6.1m) has faced this season have been saved by the Liverpool custodian. No other Premier League goalkeeper can match that statistic this season, and Adrian‘s (£4.1m) save percentage, by way of example, is down at 66.7%. Alisson’s save percentage of 79.2% was also the best in the division in 2018/19 among first-choice shot-stoppers.

167.9 minutes per expected goal prevented (xGP) by Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) this season, the best rate of xGP of all first-choice Premier League goalkeepers in 2019/20. Lloris returned from injury in Gameweek 24 and next faces Manchester City on Sunday. The Frenchman’s xGP (expected goals conceded minus actual goals conceded) is +3.80 this season, with Paulo Gazzaniga‘s (£4.5m) down at -2.90.

1 clean sheet kept by Rui Patricio (£5.1m) in the last 16 Gameweeks. No side has kept as few shut-outs as Wolverhampton Wanderers over the same period. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side face Manchester United this weekend and Leicester City in Gameweek 26.

DEFENDERS

5 headed attempts from set plays by James Tomkins (£5.0m) over the last six Gameweeks, which only Yerry Mina (£5.3m) can beat. Crystal Palace avoid any of the ‘big six’ over the next half-dozen Gameweeks, so Tomkins could potentially prosper at both ends of the pitch.

10 key passes, 12 successful crosses and three big chances created by Lucas Digne (£5.8m) in his last four matches. No other FPL defender can beat either of those totals when filtered by the same criteria.

29 successful take-ons registered by Serge Aurier (£5.0m) since Jose Mourinho took charge of Spurs in Gameweek 13 – no FPL defender has completed more in that time. Aurier’s advanced role in the Spurs set-up has led to four assists in his last 12 starts, although the Lilywhites have banked only two clean sheets over the same span of games.

1.76 expected assists (xA) recorded by Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m) over the last six Gameweeks, a figure that only Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) can beat among FPL defenders over that period. Wan-Bissaka has created seven opportunities in that time (two of them big chances), having supplied only eight key passes (zero big chances) in the preceding 18 Gameweeks.

84 passes received in the final third by Reece James (£5.0m)) in his last four matches. Two Manchester City left-backs – Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m) and Angelino (£4.7m) – are the only FPL defenders who can beat that total when sorted by the same criteria.

MIDFIELDERS

37 chances created by Emiliano Buendia (£6.0m) over the last nine Gameweeks, more than any other player over the same period. Norwich’s dead-ball specialist, who is expected back from injury this weekend, will face Newcastle in Gameweek 25. Steve Bruce’s side have allowed more chances from set plays than any other Premier League side this season.

45 attempts on goal, 38 shots in the box, 22 efforts on target, 13 big chances and ten goals recorded by Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) at Anfield this season. No FPL midfielder can surpass any of those totals in home fixtures. Liverpool face Southampton on Merseyside this weekend.

12 FPL attacking returns from Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) in away matches this season, more than any other Premier League player. Over half (nine) of De Bruyne’s assists have come on the road, with ten of his 21 big chances created also coming away from the Etihad. Manchester City are in action at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Sunday.

6 big chances created by Adama Traore (£5.8m) in the last six Gameweeks, which no FPL asset can better. The Wolves winger had only carved out three clear-cut opportunities in the preceding 18 Gameweeks.

12 chances created by Aaron Mooy (£5.0m) in his last four matches. Only two midfielders have supplied more key passes when they are filtered by the same criteria.

FORWARDS

12 big chances either presented to or created by Troy Deeney (£6.3m) since Nigel Pearson took charge of Watford in Gameweek 17. Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) is the only other FPL forward with higher big chance involvement during that time.

10 headed goal attempts from Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.1m) since Carlo Ancelotti took charge of Everton in Gameweek 19. The Toffees are this weekend up against Watford, who have allowed more headed chances in the Nigel Pearson era than all bar two Premier League sides.

78.3 minutes per chance presented to Jamie Vardy (£9.9m) in his last four starts. Vardy’s rate of goal attempts was one every 33.8 minutes prior to Gameweek 19.

9 goals scored by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.7m) in away league matches this season, which no other FPL asset can better. Arsenal are on the road this Sunday, facing Burnley in Lancashire.

5.42 expected goal involvements (xGI) from Raul Jimenez (£7.6m) over the last six Gameweeks. No FPL forward has a better xGI over the same timeframe, despite the fact that Wolves have faced Liverpool twice and Manchester City over this six-match period.

-3.14 expected goal (xG) delta recorded by Neal Maupay (£5.9m) in 2019/20. Only two FPL forwards are underachieving more than Maupay based on xG delta, which is calculated by subtracting a player’s xG from actual goals scored.

TEAMS

29 opportunities conceded by Watford from their right flank over the last six Gameweeks, which is more than any other team from that side of the pitch. That statistic may be of interest to owners of Lucas Digne (£5.8m), with Everton the visitors to Vicarage Road on Saturday.

6 goals scored by Norwich City in away matches this season, the worst total of any Premier League club on the road. Three of the Canaries’ next five fixtures are away from Carrow Road, with their two home matches in between against Liverpool and Leicester City, who have ten away clean sheets between them. Only one of Todd Cantwell‘s (£5.0m) eight attacking returns has come in an away match.

27 chances conceded by Burnley from their left flank over the last six Gameweeks, which is more than any other team from that zone of the pitch. Nicolas Pepe (£9.1m) and Hector Bellerin (£5.4m) could potentially take advantage of that vulnerability when Arsenal – who have won their last 11 meetings with the Clarets – visit Turf Moor this weekend.

9 penalties awarded by Anthony Taylor this season, which is four more than any other Premier League referee. Two-thirds of those spot-kick awards have been for the home side. Taylor takes charge of Bournemouth v Aston Villa this weekend.

95 crosses attempted from Crystal Palace‘s right wing over the last six Gameweeks – no side has allowed more deliveries from that flank over the same period. Only two clubs have allowed more chances to be created from that side of the pitch, meanwhile. Enda Stevens (£5.1m) could potentially profit from that weakness when Sheffield United visit Selhurst Park this weekend.

0 defensive errors made by Watford since Nigel Pearson’s arrival. The Hornets are the only Premier League club not have to have made (in Opta’s eyes) a slip-up over the last eight Gameweeks. Aston Villa have erred the most (eight) in that time, while Newcastle United have made six mistakes that led to goals.

5.97 expected goals conceded (xGC) by Chelsea over the last eight Gameweeks, which is the best xGC of any Premier League side over the same period. The Blues take on Leicester City this weekend.

12 goals scored by Newcastle United from set-piece situations this season, which represents half their total output. A dozen of the Magpies’ 24 goals have been scored by their defenders, too.

    To be fair to TAA - he is approaching God-Tier levels of output, with a superb fixture list incoming too (FPL returns last 34 starts):

    TAA - 38 (2G 21A 15CS)
    Mane - 31 (22G 9A)
    Robbo - 27 (1G 11A 15CS)
    Salah - 27 (18G 9A)
    VVD - 21 (5G 1A 15CS)
    Firmino - 20 (12G 8A)

      *34 starts is going back to when he returned from injury towards final third of last season - then looking at last 34 starts for each of the others

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Those 3 assists after he came back from injury last season is by far the best haul I've had from him. Was a huge differential in that gameweek I will never forget!

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He has it in his locker for sure

          The Leicester score this year will never be forgotten...

          Should he really be about 9.0-10.0??

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I think he'll definitely be bumped up to 7.5-8m next season

            Haha 9-10 might be too much but if he keeps on scoring 200 points he's worth that much.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              When you look at the 9.0-10.0+ players he's been outscoring for over a year now, he must be one of the biggest bargains in the game

      Yup.

  2. Over Midwicket

    Which combo?

    A) Lascelles + O'Connell
    B) Fernandez + Egan

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years

      B

    mane, are you

    a keeping
    b selling, and for who ?

    thanks

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      according to klopp he should be ok against norwich, but how long will he play ?

      “Sadio will not be involved for West Ham and probably not for Southampton,” Klopp said. “After that he should be then fine.

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think he will start on the bench against Norwich. Klopp will want him fully fit for the trip to Madrid just 3 days after.

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          very possible yes.

          think i m going to reluctantly sell

  4. BNMC

    4 years, 1 month ago

    What's the pecking order for NEW centre backs?

    I imagine Lascelles is at the top since he's club captain. Lejeune must also be up there. And I think Schar is a good player but it seems like Bruce doesn't really favour him as much as Rafa did.

    I want to buy Fernandez but my only worry is that he's not necessarily nailed.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      bought 3 newcastle defenders this season and each single one of them got injured the week i bought them. they're cursed, i'd avoid !

      otherwise lascelles yes

      1. Amey

          We're all cursed.

      Fernandez never missed one minute since GW 10. That's as nailed as you can be.

      Save seems fine

  6. BNMC

    Is your rank tier on LiveFPL only based on your current rank or is it an "average" of your rank over the last few weeks?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Current

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That's odd because I'm currently 720k which would put me in the 700-800k yet I'm in 600-700k. Not complaining, just curious.

    Start 2 out of these:

    A) Ings (liv) (Double Pool def)
    B) Traore (mun) (Have Jimenez)
    C) Mooy (whu)
    D) O'Connell (cry) (Have Hendo & Stevens)

    2. ritzyd
      • 6 Years

      Tough one actually, C would play for me, wouldn't want triple sheff utd, so between A and B for the second slot. I suppose A is for insurance for a pool clean sheet, B is for max upside so depends on your play style.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years

        Cheers mate!

        Mooy starts definitely for me too.

    If you are boored of fplfor the remaining of season and dont care much what would you do?
    A) make a team and leave it for the season.
    B) take as much hits as required to make best team for each gwk.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B) I got to the point where I stopped caring and played a little dangerously taking a -4 each of the past 3 GW’s. In that time I’ve gone from 1.9 million to 500k. It’s possible to claw back

      We have 13 players in common. Those 2FT give you much needed flexibility and I would simply eplace Kelly and save the second FT. Kelly's days are numbered with Ward returning. Defer decisions about the other players - I wouldn't remove KDB or Grealish. The Lord might need to go but use this weekend to seet what happens.

    Who’s the best mane replacement other than salah?

    1. vityovics
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same here, have Salah...Maybe Sterling could be back on form

      1. Me Spurs
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling has looked off for months

    Well chuffed, I have been in the Namibian national park for a week without WiFi. Down from 124k to 59k. Happy days!

    Conundrum for the weekend is to but AUBA or FIRMINO with MANE cash? Help!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would invest in more Liverpool defense over Firmino tbh...so Auba.

    GW28 is the best FHGW, isnt it?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      DGW 37 for me 🙂

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        City triple week if possible!

        Definitely not 28 Vityovics

      Only if your team is full of City, Sheffield, Arsenal and Villa players.

    DCL+ Mane to Auba + Perez(-4)?

    Thanks.

    Best combo for next few gw's

    A: Lundy/Rico/Lascelles rotation + Martial + Auba
    B: Lundy/Rico/Lascelles rotation + Son + Jimmy
    C: Robbo (with Lundy/Rico backup) + Martial + Jimmy

    1. vityovics
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

  26. Stupendous

    Danny Rose an option at Newc? Those fixtures too.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Another injury prone attacking wing back? Sure.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      See if he plays and how he plays first. Give it a couple of weeks

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Aye

  27. King Kohli
    • 11 Years

    Crazy to captain TAA ahead of Salah?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, Salah probably wont get anything more than one goal

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not crazy, but risky.

    4. IRBOX ⚽

      Very silly

  28. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts here please?

    Mane to who? Anything worth a -4?
    Ryan (McCarthy)
    TAA Lundy Rico (Kelly Soy)
    Traore Salah Mane** KDB (Dendo)
    Ings DCL Vardy

    Dont particularly want to play Ings as cant see Saints cracking the Liverpool defence. Worth a hit to get Robbo in for Soyu?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The reason I'm holding is value and will want Mane back the second I sell him and that will be for a hit too.

      Keeping and benching for right now.

      Expensive sub.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed. I'll lose .3 on him but not sure i want both him and Salah at the moment while Liverpool are knocking out the clean sheets for fun.

    Are we overlooking Dubravka as a SAF goalkeeper? High saves, bonus, amazing fixtures and NEW are very solid at home.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would be my choice if on WC

    2. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yuck. First thought was purple nose Sir Alex when I read that.

      I'm more interested in a defender personally. Attacking potential (if there is any) and of course clean sheets if and when they come.

      Fancy Fernandes me I think

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The only reason I didn’t go with him was that Henderson was cheaper.
      Pairs up brilliantly with McCarthy.

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Although Richie is only 0.3m more and offers set pieces too.

  30. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Henderson or other keeper?
