V. Baker: Statistics

As always, @BigManBakar has been compiling plenty of thought provoking statistics to help us make more informed decisions with our GW1 drafts!

Since Tuchel took over, no midfielder in the league recorded more big chances per start or a better xG per start than Kai Havertz in 20/21. He largely flew under the radar last season as during that spell he started just 8 times in 19 GWs but his numbers were rather exceptional.

VI. Swede: Threads

A rising star in the community this FPL 2021/22, @FPL_Swe is quickly becoming a legend with his famous threads. This one focuses on on defenders!

Budget 4.5 defenders (Thread)

I believe that getting your 4.5 budget defenders right from the start is the most important thing to try and focus on ahead of GW1

This thread will explain why and which budget DEF:s that I currently think will be the best ones this season ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/JIg9ryyzPG

VII. FPL and More: Graphics

New for this season, @FPLandMore have been busy comparing some of the biggest GW1 dilemmas with some excellent graphics!

A very popular £5.5m Defender Comparison:

Luke Shaw vs Lucas Digne

Summary:

Extremely similar individual stats last season (goals, assists), but Man United the much better defence as a team (clean sheets)

Which do you prefer, or can you find room for both in your team?#FPL pic.twitter.com/tFGd9OCHWc
