Important note before going further
I’ve now changed the focus to the last 10 gameweeks rather than the season
The first schedule ranks players by their NON penalty underlying stats and expected assists converted to FPL points in the last 10 gameweeks . Those who have taken penalties or are expected to be the penalty taker have an * next to their name
The form gives their ranking from the season/last 10 gameweeks/ last 5 gameweeks. I’ve put them in seperate columns so they are sortable
The F Ease is the fixture ease ranking.
The value for money VFM ratio is the total expected points from their underlying stats divided by their price
The 2nd schedule shows their xG90 (expected goals) and xA90 (expected assists) plus their shots per 90 and key passes per 90.
There’s also anytime goalscorer odds.
I’ve already posted the defender rankings and midfield rankings
Player values and PPMs are as of Wednesday 10th March and before Wednesdays game.

A few comments
Antonio
May not have had his best game v Leeds but it’s impossible to say how good he’s been at everything except the crucial bit of putting the ball in the net. That was also a problem last season so it may not be repairable. 4 goals and 3 assists in 9 starts since coming back from injury is still not a bad return
Kane
Has it all. Goals, assists, underlying stats, penalties. Possibly the best premium player now.
Diagne and Maja
2 new players to the league who play in reasonably defensive teams but have put up good underlying stats on reasonable minutes. Diagne had good stats for Galatasary in Turkey and Maja did at least last season for Bordeaux although both were a little bench focused.
Hard to say how they will progress especially as they are both going through a period of serious blanking but the underlying stats are positive. Diagne has a goal and 2 assist in 8 games but has blanked in the last 4. Maja has 2 goals in 6 starts but has blanked in the last 5.
Werner
Doesn’t have a fixture in GW29 but some great fixtures. No player has undershot his xG more than Werner this season. History shows him to be a wildly unpredicatble finisher though regularly over and under performing.
Players for GW29
Fulham v Leeds – Maja and Bamford
Brighton v Newcastle – Maupay
West Ham v Arsenal – Antonio
Villa v Spurs – Watkins and Kane
