Who had the best FPL underlying statistics in February?

As another Gameweek draws to a close, we’ve crunched over the month of February to pinpoint the best performers moving forward.

It’s important to take stock as we move into a new month and a potential time to Wildcard, while also noting players that shouldn’t be overlooked purely because they have a blank in Gameweek 31.

Each metric takes into account the last four Gameweek’s so bear in mind that Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Sheffield United have played just three fixtures in this period.

All statistics are available in the Members Area and as this article uses them so extensively, only those signed up for Fantasy Football Scout Membership can access it in full.

    Beautiful!

    I’m going to play that Chelsea Chelsea song by the Fratellis all night now to celebrate

  2. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So is this good for FPL Liverpool going out?

    Don't have my TC left

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kind of
      Means everyone will have the same team in 31

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

        Pretty much.

      2. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not really.
        If we all played FH with 3 fixtures our teams would have been much more generic

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed. I may still play mine with only two Liverpool plus Jiménez

          1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            im thinking wc this week is the best way to balance both 31 and potential gw29....
            fh34 with blanks and doubles.......bb 37

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

              I’m with you mate. Currently have 3 Liv players DcL and Traore so will have 8 best case.
              If there’s a dgw 29, I think I’ll wc to prepare myself for bwg29 and then FH in 34

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Teams will be pretty similar either way
          Means the casuals who have already used FH can get away with a solid team as everyone has 3 Liverpool
          TAA + Salah + Mane/Robbo plus a few of Jimenez, Jota, Sarr, Pope will be enough, no need to stress about having 11

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            But that’s the same every week anyway then

    2. Marmalade Forest
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. Means people won’t be forced to FH in 31 so most will WC then FH and BB in the two DGW and teams will be more generic.

  3. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Excellent result. No worries for 31 now.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For anyone, so meh

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        On here, not so much in the wider game hopefully?

        1. Brehmeren
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          This is what most people on here seem to forget.

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

    Klopp finally gets his wish of being knocked out of the FAC.

    Williams & Jones the only positives, senior players poor again.

    1. Party time
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Liverpool stunned

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Play 1 of each

      A-Hendo
      B-McCarthy

      A-Adama
      B-Fleck

      A-Cahill
      B-Lascelles.

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso has lost it, no goals tonight.

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

        6 points for the CS does the job.

    4. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bottle of Buckie getting cracked open tonight

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone on here saying this is a good result..... it’s not, it’s good for the casuals
      Not much planning required now

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        many will still FH... just not as many as before

      2. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’m just happy I can FH with some exciting DGW prospects, rather than deciding which Bournemouth player is the least worst

      3. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yea, would have taken so much planning to use the obvious Free Hit...

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          In fact the real casuals are the spoon fed people on here who just wait for the DGW and BGWs to use whatever chip strategy Ben Crellin and FFS feeds you

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Couldnt agree more Brosstan

      4. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why do so many get hot under the collar about so called "casuals" ?
        If they're that "casual" they won't know what they're doing anyway.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Casuals ruin everything every season.
          My rank would be much better if it weren't for all those pesky casuals.

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah those Lateriser12 types ......

          2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah if nobody else played, you'd win

        2. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Agree. And if their rank atm is better than your own, I wouldnt call them casual either.

      5. Solenya
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You could argue casuals won't plan and will still have to use their FH come 31, while this gives people who are planning to save it for later a lifeline. Again not implying anyone who uses FH in 31 is a casual just present an opposing argument to your's.

    6. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did anyone else hear Jermaine Jenas say that Gilmour had a "broad head on young shoulders" 😆

    7. FPLHaggis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      8 in for gw31 - happy days!

      Pope
      TAA Gomez Taylor Boly
      Salah Traore
      Jimmy

      1. SB007
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        TAA and Salah to be rested ?

    8. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Sheffield loose does that means United are playing GW 31 ?

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Derby need to beat United as well.

      2. reo19uk
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not if United win Thursday

      3. SB007
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lose. Only if GW31 is SU v MU and both lose.

      4. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Man Utd need to lose too.
        But even then, it’s just speculation, nothing official

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks lads

      5. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I thought Villa Sheffield would be the game?

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ah.
          Villa Sheffield would be maybe moved there if United win and Reading do so to.
          ll for United tomorrow then

    9. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso not as good a buy in 4 at the back?

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They might revert to 523 and he seems nailed finally.
        Defense also better.
        Good pick now

    10. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      9 enough for BGW31 with no hits..?
      I assume EVE - NOR will be on.

      TAA - Robbo - C.Taylor
      Salah - Sarr - Cantwell
      Jimenez - Jota - DCL

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Same as everyone assuming liverpool wouldn't blank!

    11. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Happy for Gilmour 🙂

      Looks a star!

      1. Cahill
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Happy Gilmour

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Get in the hole

    12. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      As I said earlier, time to drop the egotistical egyptian and the selfish senegalese. Useless and overpriced players. Shame we have to keep them now that they dont blank

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I mean you can sell if you want to

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Waste of transfer unfortunately. Now Salah has to stink up my team for the foreseeable

      2. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, agreed.

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Feels a trap like Leicester for 28...

      4. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Do I really want the Inconsistent Ivorian and Giveaway Gabonese?

      5. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Racist undertones. They have names

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Stupid comment of the day from WR

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Quickly overtaken

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Self-centered Salah and Miserly Mane

        3. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Hardly. In fact, it's rude of you to call him out.

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Alliteration makes posts more beautiful and drives the point home more succinctly

    13. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C’mon Sheffield United, get the job done so the Derby win on Thursday is even better.

    14. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Scotland look to have a pair of good full backs now.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Robertson and Tierney?

    15. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For those of us with no WC:

      Surely the best idea is to FH in 31 none the less? Then spend all of our FT getting in DGW players? No point in getting in BGW players only to try and recoup DGW players for the last DGW and FH for the first DGW? Or? Completely lost rn.

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Depends how many players you have for 31 right now. I think if you already have 6+, it's really not worth free-hitting. FH looks great for 34. Plus, a few players like Sarr and possibly Everton players look good to get in either way.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Sure the FH can be used for one of the DGW but what about the other? You will be stuck with lots of SGW players for that week

          1. Hart-ake
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I guess we can prep for 37 from 31 onwards. Will have to look at DGW fixtures when they are confirmed to make a decision on the best strategy but still feel that FH in 31 would be a waste, there just isn't that upside. Especially if you already have 7+ players.

    16. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Which of these ?!

      A) traore vardy -4 to sarr jimi/jota
      B) traore vardy -4 to auba saka
      C) traore vardy -4 to pepe/fernandes jota
      D) lund traore -4 to egan/basham sarr

    17. fplking14
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is there going to be a DGW29?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

    18. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Double wolves defence looks good for 31 with Jimmy I reckon

    19. mrodgers91
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Klopp clearly doesnt care about the fa cup, 2nd choice keeper, gini and trent not even on the bench. Not bringing salah and bobby on until it was too late. As a liverpool fan hard to take when I want to see them going for all trophies available. As an fpl player in a cash league I guess it's good for me with triple pool in the team

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Probably didn't even have his Varifocal glasses on.

      2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        we played shiite too tho......
        ches team wasnt first choice either

      3. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If he didn’t care he would have played far fewer first teamers

    20. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Still have wildcard, bench boost and free hit.

      Tonight’s results were ‘bad’ ?

      1. SB007
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not bad. Liv result was

    21. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years

      Happy Gilmour, isn't that a golf shot or something?

      1. threeputt
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        the funniest golf film you'll ever watch

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Bagger Vance had its moments

    22. Joey Barton and Friends
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      What happens to SHU 31 fixture if they lose to Reading?

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Still off if United beat Derby.

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        off

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Still blank if Man Utd beat Derby on Thursday

        1. Joey Barton and Friends
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Need Rooney to do the business so

          1. Sun Jihai
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            That would be so sweet

      4. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If Man U lose they will play Man U. If Man U win, they will either blank or play Villa if they rearrange the Villa game postponed from GW28 to GW31.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Assuming Newcastle win - grandstand finish incoming

      5. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Then if United win

        Aston Villa vs Sheffield

        might be placed there

    23. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who thinks Bournemouth could get some backlash at the weekend?

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

        Eddie Howe could pick a better team to play at the minute.

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        like Watford were gonna?

    24. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A Reading win tonight and a Rooney penalty to knock out Man Utd on Thursday would really fix BGW31 now

    25. SB007
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The Liv defeat scuppers the FH in 31 as a team can now be assembled.

      So can be used in 34/37

      Depends though if you have many from others. For example I will probably have 7 assume all play so I now need to take a couple of hits to get all 11 to play.

      But then I miss out on players I really want for 29/30.

      So my gut still says play the FH

    26. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      really not happy being out of the cup 😥

      we were pants

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

        Pants is generous.

        Stuck in a rut!

      2. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, really worrying. Since that stupid break 3 defeats in 5 and even the 2 wins were shabby as hell...

    27. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Sheff Utd go out and Man Utd bt Derby, do we think Villa/Sheff Utd goes into gw31?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Good chance
