It’s said that knowledge is power and there’s no escaping the fact that in this day and age, analytics is hugely important when it comes to succeeding in sport – even the fantasy ones!
Have you ever struggled to make those crucial GW picks because you just don’t know where to start? Would it help to know which teams are in the best form? Who presents the biggest attacking threat and who’s defence is as leaky as a broken tap? Or what about how tough a team is likely to find it’s opponent or simply where a team currently stands in the league?
The tables below contain all the vital information that we think you need to help get those all important GW wins and start climbing your league tables like a GOAT!

Expected goals (xG) measures the quality of a chance by calculating the likelihood it will be scored from a particular position on the pitch during a particular phase of play. This value is based on several factors from before the shot was taken. xGA is the opposite, it stands for expected goals against and is how many goals a team is likely to concede based on the quality of chances they allow the other team to have on their goal.
The table shows the xG and xGA and the actual G and GA for each team this season up to the current GW based on matches (M) played.

Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) uses a set of formulas process key Opta data variables, along with each team’s home and away form for the past six matches, to generate a rank (from 1-5) for the perceived difficulty of each GW opponent, with 1 indicating easier matches and 5 showing tougher ones.
The FDR is reviewed on a weekly basis and updated as the season progresses.
