FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GAMEWEEK 34 REVIEW – SUNDAY’S GAMES
At the end of comments on players I’ve added a comment either optimistic or pessimistic based on that performance. It is just that performance and doesn’t take into account on going fixtures etc
Burnley 0 Man Utd 2
Here’s the lineups from the site football-lineups
Here’s the pass and position maps from 11tegen11
and the shot map plus XG also from 11 tegen 11. The shots and XG (expected goals) are from the team attacks perspective over the stats. The higher the XG the better
Barnes
Blanked. 74 mins. Played as a support striker. Did nothing. Can’t be judged on this game.
Gray
Blanked. 90 mins. CF. Did nothing. Can’t be judged on this game.
Martial
1 goal. 1 assist. 79 minutes. Played as the CF despite the lineup graphic. Great goal on the counter attack with a neat finish close in. Didn’t have that many opportunities or create that many chances but made the most of the few that came his way. Optimistic
Rooney
1 goal. 90 minutes. Played on the left side despite the lineup graphic. The goal was a bit of a scramble in the box. Had other chances and really should have had a pen after being fouled by Barton. Optimistic
Pogba
Blanked. 89 mins. CM. Too deep for an FPL player. Reduced to shots from outside of the box. Pessimistic
Defences
Burnley never really had a sniff. Man Utd defended very well. Burnley did ok defensively.
Liverpool 1 Crystal Palace 2
Coutinho
1 goal. 90 mins. Great direct free kick goal. Was fantastic on a 1 man mission to win the game. Unfortunately that meant alot of shooting from anywhere he had the ball. Overall he was unlucky not to get another. Should have had a pen when fouled but stayed on his feet. Optimistic
Firmino
Blanked. 90 mins. Little goal threat although did create chances for others. Pessimistic
Origi
Blanked. 90 mins. Did very little. Pessimistic
Benteke
2 goals. 87 mins. 2 very good close in finishes. Had a load of other chances too. A great performance. Optimistic.
Zaha
Blanked. 77 mins. Did absolutely nothing. Pessimistic
Townsend
Blanked. 90 mins. Did absolutely nothing. Pessimistic
Defences
In truth Liverpool should have won this comfortably but when you give up clear cut chances like this then you’re going to lose.
