Stag
Kante has emerged as a potential cheap midfielder after an impressive start to the season. If a lucky goal in Gameweek 1 doesn’t carry enough conviction, this statistical comparison from FPL Stag may sway you.

Adam Hopcroft
Adam delves into the expected goal statistics across the opening two games. This should provide inspiration for anyone needing a Jamie Vardy replacement, following his red card, or any underperforming budget forwards.
Expected goals after 2 gws
Salah 2.27
Aguero 2.22
Wilson 2.14
Mane 1.72
Pogba 1.68
Ings 1.61
Deeney 1.57
Kane 1.39
Mitrovic 1.36
Vardy 1.23As you would expect dominated by forwards – some good 2nd/3rd striker options
