Big Numbers: 22 stand-out stats for FPL Gameweek 8

Ahead of Gameweek 8, our Big Numbers article looks at the Opta and StatsBomb data available in our Premium Members Area.

Only subscribers can read the full article; those wishing to sign up to our site and continue reading, as well as see a list of the benefits that Membership brings, can do so by clicking here.

READ MORE: Which FPL players and teams top the xG tables?

GOALKEEPERS

+0.4 expected goals prevented (xGP) by Caoimhin Kelleher (£4.4m) in 2023/24. Reports suggest Alisson Becker (£5.5m) could be out until the November international break with the injury he sustained in Gameweek 7, with the Republic of Ireland international set to deputise. Kelleher played in 10 of Liverpool’s 38 Premier League games last season, and unlike Alisson, had a positive xGP.

+3.3 xGP by Andre Onana (£5.0m) this season, which no other Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeeper except Mads Hermansen (£4.5m) can better. The Manchester United shot-stopper has arguably been the club’s standout player in 2024/25, with four clean sheets in seven Premier League appearances. Erik ten Hag’s side sit top of our Season Ticker in the next half-dozen Gameweeks.

DEFENDERS

The FPL Watchlist: Villa up, Palace down 4

17 chances created by Ipswich Town’s Leif Davis (£4.5m) this season – no FPL defender has registered more. Set pieces are a big part of his appeal, as 46.7% of the Tractor Boys goal attempts in 2024/25 have come from dead-ball situations – no other Premier League club has a higher ratio.

9 shots, 16 penalty box touches, nine key passes and one big chance created by Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.4m) this season. The Algerian international is the top FPL defender for StatsBomb expected goals (xG) in 2024/25. An excellent fixture run for Wolverhampton Wanderers starts in Gameweek 10.

  It’s crazy that we are asking this question. Should easily be Garnacho but United are so poo it’s probably McNeil.

How Palace miss Olise and Eze as two no.10's in the Palace lineup under Glasner.

Quite stark

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michael-olise/gemeinsameSpiele/spieler/566723/gegner/479999/kriterium/2/wettbewerb//liga/0/verein/0

The Palace leaks were Palace and Ipswich played each other behind closed door and drew 2-2, playing 4-4-2 and then 4-1-4-1 formation with Munoz injured for the record.

  If things don't turn around before the next IB, we're in serious danger of relegation. Glasner needs to settle on a starting 11 and stick with it so players can gain some trust and cohesion.

5 free transfers.
What would you do ?

Flekken Verbruggen.
Konsa Robbo Dunk Greaves Collins
Palmer Salah Eze Saka Mbuemo.
Evanilson Watkins Pedro.

I should get Halland but it really weakens the rest of the team.

  Yes I would.. If Saka is OK, then Salah next two are not great. while Haaland are the best you can get
