Important note before going further
The first schedule ranks players by their NON penalty underlying stats and expected assists converted to FPL points in GW1-7 to date. Those who have taken penalties have an * next to their name
Then there’s there fixture ease ranking their average minutes in the first 7 gameweeks plus their value for money factor and their anytime goalscoring odds
The 2nd schedule shows their xG90 and xA90
I’ve already posted the defender rankings and midfield rankings
Player values are as of Thursday 5 November
The numbering isn’t sequential as players are missing through injury or gametime risk

Here is the link to the google spreadsheet. You can go to file>make a copy and then sort it how you like.
A few players worth commenting on
Kane
Just posting incredible stats after a few years of them deteriorating. Fixtures change after Brighton
Calvert Lewin
Fulham in GW9is worth remembering
Wilson and Bamford
Both are posting excellent stats and have good fixtures and a good GW8 entry point. Both are hostages to their past which is the risk with them
Watkins
Arsenal next which isn’t a great entry point but after that the fixtures are good and he looks like he’s cemented penalty duties
Werner
Looks like he’s got pen duties from Jorginho. Stats are pretty ordinary at the moment but they were incredible in Germany. Possible position and minutes share with Abraham isn’t helpful
A fixture ease schedule for attacking players
Here’s a graphic where the teams are ranked by the ease of the defences they face over the next 6 gameweeks
