FPL Gameweek 12 review – a look at the key player and team stats

In my on going serach for the most time efficient and information friendly way of reviewing gameweeks this is my latest iteration.

Essentially I’ve looked up the underlying stats of all my attacking players in my forwards and midfielder player rankings of the previous week.  I’ve added on anyone else who had notable performances.

I’ll probably add more to it as the weeks go on.
