Gameweek 3 review
Allsvenskan Fantasy contributor @poohdini59 on Twitter has provided these superb summaries of data points from GW3:
Nicolas Stefanelli tops the charts for npxG for GW3 while Alexander Jeremejeff isn’t even in the top 5, despite firing off 10 shots. Plenty of his efforts were blocked or failed to find the target though and his regular xG of 1.22 is brought up significantly by the penalty he got. Isak Bergmann Johannesson will have created some anxiety for his sellers that made him drop to 7.9m in price, given his 10-pointer in Gameweek 3. Jacob Ortmark also sticks out with a whopping 7 key passes in the game away to Häcken.
Malmö continues to impress and were perhaps a bit unlucky to just score once from an xG of 2.53 and 13 shots inside the box.
These images from the same stat-wizard sum up GW1-3:
Again Malmö looks great in terms of underlying attacking numbers, but we also see AIK quite high up alongside a Varberg team that looks to go all-out attack to make up for a frail defence again this season. Will they succeed in staying up with Astrit Selmani and Gustav Norlin leaving the building? I personally doubt it, but it should be entertaining to watch never the less.

2FT: Chilufya & Nanasi to Lofquist & Kpozo. Chilufya has looked great this season, often occupying a central position and looking a real threat in doing so, so he goes straight back on the watchlist. With him being subbed at HT last week and facing MFF this week, however, I felt that he was expandable. Lofquist in might raise a few eyebrows, but he's slotting in right alongside Bergstrom at the moment and is taking the majority of MAIF's set-pieces: I am surprised that he is yet to return. Has some fantastic fixtures coming up too. Kpozo has looked the best of the cheap mids for me and has a great fixture for first sub this week, so easy move from Nanasi fearing being priced out of AC next week without noticing it (and freeing up a third MFF spot).
GW4: Nilsson Säfqvist, (Påhlsson);
Nilsson, Witry, J.Larsson, Jallow, Knudsen;
Lofquist (V), Haksabanovic, Sana, (Kpozo, Carlén);
Adegbenro (K), Colak, (Vilhelmsson).
Small green arrow to 2.2k after GW3. Adegbenro takes the armband for GW4 making it 4 different captains across the opening 4 GWs. Has been getting in some great positions and showing a real confidence to shoot on the ball, finally registering his first of many returns in GW3 (having had one disallowed for offside minutes before). Unless Nyman bursts on to the scene and deprives him of minutes, I can see him exploding sooner rather than later and I will likely hold on to Adegbenro regardless of whether I decide to move Haksabanovic for AC in GW5. Both have been unfortunate, but Adegbenro to a greater extent imo. Good luck all!
