Introduction
I’m still using 20/21 stats with adjustments where necessary for player transfers. That will continue until around GW6-10. I’m not making any huge adjustments on the basis of 3 gameweeks.
The strength of the defence or attacking teams are based on the averages of their expected goals for/against and their actual goals for/against with a general adjustment for home and away. . The teams are then divided up into 5 colours of 8 home/away teams each. The rankings and colours are therefore purely factual so please don’t moan to me about the order.
Player values and PPMs are as of Friday 3 September.
