Injuries

Targets

With plenty of potential transfers on the agenda, FPL Editor pinpoints five key players to consider using the powerful Fantasy Football Fix algorithm. Two heavy hitting midfielders make the cut, one who has the form and the other who is in a barren spell. There’s also a forward to consider who should free up some funds for Harry Kane owners. Could a captain be among their ranks?

Captains

Talking of captaincy, FPL Teach Mode presents four options for the gameweek ahead, from four eye catching fixtures this weekend. All of them have seen a significant increase in their ownership in recent weeks, and their form is starting to show too. It will be an open week, with a lack of premium options.

Leeds

Leeds United assets have been popular throughout the season, with Patrick Bamford currently featuring in a lot of sides. However, he was substituted before the hour mark midweek and the underlying statistics show Leeds goalscoring form is starting to drop. Bakar presents the case.

Interesting to note the drastic drop in Leeds' recent attacking numbers:

Leeds GW 1-15 v GW 16-20 (with league ranks in brackets)

Shots in the box per game: 10.7 (1st) v 7.5 (11th)
Big chances per game: 2.3 (7th) v 0.75 (18th)
Average xG per game: 1.7 (2nd) v 0.8 (15th)#FPL

Liverpool

Mo Salah has been in a torrid run of form, blanking in six consecutive games which is unheard of for him. However, Liverpool have started to produce some more encouraging numbers. Should we now be sticking with their attack but perhaps consider Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino over Mo Salah?

?Mane vs Firmino vs Salah since GW15:

?Shots- 19 vs 19 vs 13
?SoT- 6 vs 6 vs 2
?SiB- 18 vs 16 vs 10
?Big chances- 5 vs 4 vs 3
?xG- 2.91 vs 2.51 vs 1.51
?xA- 2.09 vs 1.25 vs 1.06
?Points- 34 vs 16 vs 13

Bottom Line: Salah last in each and every column#FPL #FPLCommunity

Spurs

Spurs assets are also causing headaches for us now, with Kane injured and the potential impact on Son’s returns. FPL General was one manager set to bring in either Kane or Salah this week, but the events of Thursday has changed that thinking now. What will you do with Son and Kane?

Kane injury is a spanner in the works

Was leaning towards getting him in for Bamford

Not overly keen on getting Son if Kane is out for a while

Stats

Ben Crellin presents the data for Son’s output when Harry Kane has been absent in the past. The picture looks positive for his output over this period, but Spurs have played a very different style this season, with Son and Kane scoring and assisting each other in tandem.

Son without Kane (19/20) vs Son (20/21):

Mins – 529 vs 1619
Goals per 90 – 0.68 vs 0.67
Assists/90 – 0.17 vs 0.33
xG/90 – 0.59 vs 0.35
xA/90 – 0.08 vs 0.12
Pen area touches/90 – 5.4 vs 3.6
Attempts/90 – 3.9 vs 2.0
Shots in box/90 – 3.1 vs 1.4
Shots on target/90 – 2.0 vs 1.1
