Here’s our fantasy premier league GW22 review where we look for the players and teams with the best underlying stats from GW22 only. It’s an easy way to check on how one of your FPL team performed on Saturday and Sunday.
Fantasy premier league GW22 review – the best underlying stats from GW22 (Saturday and Sunday)
The Stats are just from Saturday and Sunday games. I’ll add the Monday Man City v Wolves stats tomorrow.
They are just for GW22 and not cumulative. It only includes selected players who started no subs.
The article is in 2 parts. We’ve started with the attacking stats for the players divided by position. Effectively we’ve taken their xG stats and their xA stats and converted them into FPL points and then ranked them. We don’t show the points but that’s how they’re ranked. It’s far more useful than just ranking them by xG and xA separately. I haven’t attempted to rank every player.
There’s shots and key passes so you get a volume perspective as well as a quality perspective.
There’s defender rankings although one off games don’t give a realistic picture. It’s better to look at cumulative stats
The 2nd part is just the ranking of team defensive and attacking performances which is the rank by xG and xG conceded. I’ve also included the GW22 fixtures so you can remind yourself who was playing if needed
The stats are all from the excellent free site understat.com. Player values are as of Sunday 13 January.
Here’s the link to the google spreadsheet if you want it
