You’ve probably heard about Joe’s much-liked ‘Goals Imminent’ table. You might listen to his and Marc’s Fantasy Football Scout podcast of the same name. Now, Goals Imminent is here in article form!

Heading towards Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), these Members Area statistics identify some underachieving players who look ‘due’ for a goal and/or assist.

Naturally, we’ll attempt to assess whether they’re unlucky, suffering a rare blip, or just aren’t particularly good.

LAST WEEK’S SUCCESSES

FPL pre-season: Ekitike + Frimpong goals, Mateta pen

We predicted a Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.6m) goal, saying he can’t keep missing big chances at this rate.

Well, the Crystal Palace forward replied by scoring a hat-trick versus Bournemouth and spurned three other huge opportunities. On Saturday alone, his expected goals (xG) tally was 3.67.

Bryan Mbeumo‘s (£8.0m) opener at Anfield was also anticipated, before Cody Gakpo (£7.5m) equalised; the Dutchman outdid his envisioned assist.

GOALS IMMINENT

The first table shows players who’ve accumulated at least nine shots over the latest four Gameweeks, but scored no more than one goal.

    Sofascore showing me 2 big chances and 9 shots in total for Arsenal but zero in each category for Gyokeres.
    Is he not playing?
    Or just gave up on life?

    Gordon is so frustrating, does nothing in fpl and bangs them in UCL.

    So you can transfer and it will show you’re taking minus points but as long as you select the wildcard before the deadline you don’t actually lose the minus points?

    What’s the benefit of this rather than just selecting wildcard now?

      In case you decide you're OK with making two transfers for a hit, rather than wildcarding

      your transfers before WC count towards price changes. but ofc its like 0.00000000001%

      alternatively if you decide against wc later on for some reason you havent locked it in yet

    I guess if I played centre forward for Arsenal my xG would be pretty high as well. Thing is, I'm a fat, useless b @st@rd who couldn't score in a barrel full of f@nnies so why would anyone want me in their team because I keep on missing sitters?

    “Viktor has so many qualities. He is a quick and powerful presence up front, with incredible goalscoring numbers at club and international levels. He brings a clinical edge with a high conversion rate of chances into goals, with his intelligent movement in the box making him a constant threat.“ - Arteta when Gyokeres signed contract.

    They must have showed him a different Victor compilation.
    Maybe Victor Ikpeba?
