Wolves

Wolves are one of the most popular teams in the game right now with a great run of upcoming fixtures. With both attackers and defenders on the radar, FPL Swede provides his excellent analysis.

Wolves breakdown analysis (THREAD)

As a neutral fan of the Premier League, Wolves is the team that I have enjoyed watching the most so far. Lage has made a very significant impact in a very short amount of time which has led to plenty of FPL options in various positions ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/XfQ0yvavH9

Gallagher

Connor Gallagher has impressed so far and his underlying statistics suggest that his points returns are sustainable. He’s a great enabler and is seeing plenty of transfers in. FPL Strategy looks at the data.

Conor Gallagher (CRY) – worth consideration if u need a budget midfielder (5.5)

Points – xPts 23.3 (1st)
Assists – xA 1.3 (2nd)
Goals – xG 2.27 (1st)
Sitb – 7 (2nd)
Big Chances – 5 (1st)

His expected returns are close to his actual returns so his points this season are no fluke pic.twitter.com/NdqWMBffpa

Stats

Next up, stats guru Bakar pulls together a convincing argument for sticking with Trent Alexander-Arnold when looking to jump on board premium forwards. He has the best assist threat of the entire league.

Chances created

(After 4 GWs)

Trent 20
Grealish 13
Salah/Jiménez 12
Traoré 11
Pogba 10
Shaw 9

*Trent on another level
*Pogba has 7 assists despite creating just 2 big chances with an xA of 1.31, unsustainable
*Shaw's numbers on the up, he's 2nd for big chances created too

Injuries

As always, Ben Dinnery brings us the all-important injury news ahead of the deadline and the big news is the injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin. With it being a longer term issue, now is the time to sell.
