fantasy premier league form – underlying stats form tables GW30

Here’s some new tables I’ve done to look at underlying stats recent form.

People have different views as to what form constitutes. I think 4-6 games is way too short and distorted by fixtures and one off performances so I’ve gone for the last 10 gameweeks.

I’ve taken all the information from the amazing free site understat.com.

Methodology

I’ve taken the last 10 gameweeks expected goals per 90 minutes (xG90) and expected assists per 90 (xA90) and turned them into projected FPL points over a hypothetical season. I’ve then adjusted it for the average minutes played per appearance.

It’s not perfect as the order Understat puts things in is a little hard to fathom. Also the average minutes can be distorted by sub appearances and injury returns but those are imperfections I will have to live with to make it a viable article time wise

I’ve also added a value for money column where I’ve just taken the projected points and divided them by the players value.

For attackers there’s no appearance clean sheet or bonus points. Just raw attacking points. For defenders the same.

It’s a work in progress at the moment so excuse any imperfections. Just because a player is in the schedule doesn’t mean he is fit or a guaranteed selection.

Structure

So I’ve structured the team in the following way

2 cheap GKs using the team defence form table – Heaton and Ryan

2 premium Defenders using the team defence form table and picking the most attacking defender – Alexander Arnold and Otamendi

3 cheapish defenders using the team defence form table and picking the most attacking defender – Digne, Doherty and Pereira.

The 3 top projected scoring players for captain picks – Pogba, Salah and Aguero.

the rest are on value for money but adjusted with the last player to reach a budget of around £102.5m

I tried to get players who are reasonably gametime secure and it isn’t taking into account future fixtures and blanks and doubles
