Goals + assists imminent! Who is ‘due’ in FPL Gameweek 19?

First came Joe’s much-liked ‘Goals Imminent’ table, then the Fantasy Football Scout podcast of the same name.

But for those who like their reading, Goals Imminent is now here in article form!

Heading towards Gameweek 19 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), we look at the underlying data in our Members Area. In doing so, we hope to 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 notes: Timber injury, Saka + Eze rested, Arsenal all but qualify

Only one of last week’s main list did, indeed, score: Raul Jimenez (£6.3m). That’s now consecutive 1-0 winners for the Fulham forward, versus Nottingham Forest and West Ham United.

Bukayo Saka (£10.3m) at least mustered an assist in Arsenal’s win over Brighton and Hove Albion. So did Declan Rice (£7.2m), who appeared on both Gameweek 18 tables.

Their teammate Martin Odegaard (£7.8m) was one of several to outdo a predicted assist. He, Ryan Gravenberch (£5.7m) and Antoine Semenyo (£7.7m) – again – all scored.

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.

    If Saka to Cunha with 1FT is the only way to get in Cunha for free, should I just skip on Cunha or make the swap? I do have Rice and Timber already.

      Dorgu is a rotation risk, but if he is your 4th or 5th midfielder then its all good. Fun pick for the next three (if he starts).

              Yeah you're right - if they start the game in those formations. I think if they switch mid game, he might stay on the right.

              Either way, his minutes should be fine.

    Current team:

    Ramsdale
    Gabriel VVD Richards
    Foden Cunha Semenyo Gordon
    Haaland Ekitike Thiago
    —
    Dub Senesi Mukiele Ba

    A) Senesi to Dorgu (to free up funds and give more flexibility if I want Palmer or Saka later)
    B) Ramsdale to Sanchez
    C) Semenyo to Rice/Rogers/Cherki

    Many people are advising on selling Semenyo (for Cunha etc), but I wouldnt it be better to wait a week and then buy Rogers? Not sure if triple city attack is something I want to go for even though Cherki seems like great value.

      Keep as is - you can't bench Woltemade vs Burnley. Maybe consider benching BrunoG instead if you really want to play Rice. In any case, it might not matter with all the festive 'resting' of players.

    I have Calafiori and Timber, want to sell one of them for Gabriel. But which and when?
    a) Calafiori now
    b) Timber now
    c) Roll transfer, reassess after the Villa game

      Similar situation. Ahead of Villa seems to be less than ideal. So probably C.

    Do we think Heaven will start for United again?
    Maguire and DeLigt still out.

    Contemplating bringing him in for Gudmundsson as I have both Timber* and Calafiori*.

    Or waste of a FT? And just do Timber > Gabriel.

      He’s been ace, should be starting even when Maguire’s back

    Hi guys 2+9 would you bench out of Andersen, O'Reilly and VDV? Currently on VDV but wondering about Andersen.

      Brilliant autocorrect!
      I'd play Andersen. Defenders facing Palace usually do well in terms of DC, they really struggle to score right now, and they concede most of their goals from set pieces.
