Before we get to the day’s major talking points in our Scout Notes, our Scoreboard rounds up Saturday’s Fantasy numbers.

Here, you’ll find the leading teams and players for shots, chances created and expected goals (xG). This is official Opta data taken from our Members Area.

Meanwhile, the goals, assists and bonus summaries are from LiveFPL.

And, new for 2025/26, we’ll also round up Saturday’s defensive contribution (DC/DefCon) points.

    Why bring Haaland on at all if he is “exhausted”. Game was already won by then.

    No it’s not sour grapes because I am one of the 26% who don’t actually own him.

      The Foden leak saved me. Meant I removed him so freed an extra City slot so I could replace my non-playing defender instead of Nunes for Guehi.

      I think Semenyo is borderline essential now and would get him over Palmer. Use the cash to upgrade defence, get another Arsenal defender a la White if Cal is out longer or Timber instead of Raya.

    But didn’t think I’d be around for the deadline and earlier FT of O’Reilly to Guehi on limited internet (no pressers) was a complete waste
