Here’s the fantasy premier league – game week 31 – stats analysis – midfielders and defenders
So just to recap and for those new to the site here’s how the underlying game week stat analysis works now. I’m essentially going to concentrate on the shooting stats for the all matches plus the last 6 fantasy premier league games and the last game week and now the last 3 gameweeks. I’ll do this in a division between Strikers and Midfield in 2 posts. This will give you a good idea of who’s got the best underlying stats in the shooting area. Although I think these stats are very secondary to shooting, as an additional bit of info I will give the best chances created in all matches and the last 6. The stats are subjective with an interpretation of shots, shots in box and accuracy
Heres a few things I’ve added over the last few weeks
1. There’s starting to be enough data and variations in game time that I’m taking in to account shots and chances per minute which means there maybe some variations to last week.
2. On the all matches ranking and the last 6 shooting stats list I’ve added “CC” next to their name if they’re also in the last 6 chances created top 10. That will let you easily see if they have another string to their bow of assist potential (however unreliable the correlation is)
I wont analyse the player implications for these stats in this article but in the “ones to watch” articles they will be an integral part
Summary
Here’s the summary if you cant be bothered reading all the tables. The fixture ease schedule is in brackets
The DGWs dominate the best selection for me. Ive got Cazorla (3) as number 1 with Walcott (3) in behind assuming he recovers for DGW33. Fellaini (7) is back from suspension for GW33 and despite a drop off in stats and positional issues still remains in that best of DGW group
Of less significance in the DGW group is Nolan (14) and Osman (7)
After that group Bale (18) is top for me followed by Michu (20) with Hazard (15) Mata (15) and Walters (4)next. Lallana (5) although an injury doubt has Reading next and is worthy of consideration if fit
