3 min readGameweek 4, Day 1, Key Notes:
⏱️ Southampton 0-1 Man Utd
⚙️ xG: 1.36 – 1.40
🚀 Shots (SoT): 17 (5) – 11 (6)
📜 Notes:
• Man Utd allowed Southampton 5 shots on target (xGA 1.36). They were lucky to keep the cleansheet with a poor 64% passing accuracy in the second half! Their defence is still an avoid despite the low prices.
⏱️ Brentford 1-1 Everton
⚙️ xG: 2.14 – 1.07
🚀 Shots (SoT): 20 (5) – 14 (7)
📜 Notes:
• Gordon has 11 shots on target in the last 3 GWs! but he’s scored just one goal!
• Brentford were unlucky to score just 1 goal in the match. They fired 20 shots (14 from inside the box) with an xG of 2.14 and hit the woodwork 3 times!
• Everton have the fourth highest shots (56) and joint third highest shots on target (23) so far this season. They have however scored just 3 goals with only West Ham, Wolves, Forest and Bournemouth scoring fewer goals than them. Inefficient!
⏱️ Brighton 1-1 Leeds
⚙️ xG: 2.02 – 1.84
🚀 Shots (SoT): 13 (4) – 10 (2)
📜 Notes:
• Brighton are 2 points off the top with the best defence in the league. They have conceded just 1 goal so far in the 4 games.
• Pascal Gross continued his brilliant form with another well taken goal taking his tally to 3 goals for the season. He could have added to his 1 assist so far as he created 2 big chances as well, but his teammates failed to make the most of them.
⏱️ Chelsea 2-1 Leicester
⚙️ xG: 1.67 – 2.12
🚀 Shots (SoT): 7 (3) – 17 (5)
📜 Notes:
• Leicester lead the table for the most big chances conceded (13) this season. Chelsea themselves are not far behind and lie joint second (11) along with Fulham and Bournemouth.
• Youri Tielemens created 3 big chances and Jamie Vardy was at the end of all of them but he failed to capitalize on even one of them.
• Mason Mount was yet again hooked of early and is clearly failing to justify his price in FPL this season. He has managed just 7 shots (2 on target) with an xG of 0.44, created 6 chances but 0 big chances, has 0 goals and 0 assists for the season and has returned just 8 points in 4 games.
⏱️ Liverpool 9 – 0 Bournemouth
⚙️ xG: 3.23 – 0.29
🚀 Shots (SoT): 19 (12) – 5 (2)
📜 Notes:
• Roberto Firmino produced his best FPL return ever with 5 shots (4 on target), 4 chances created, 2 goals (xG = 1.18) and 3 assists (xA = 0.43).
• Salah was off the radar against Bournemouth as he had 0 goal involvement despite Liverpool hammering 9 past the Cherries. He had the highest xG (1.23) of all the players on the pitch, fired 4 shots (1 on target), missed 2 big chances, failed to complete any of his 3 attempted dribbles and had 10 touches in the opposition box.
⏱️ Man City 4-2 Palace
⚙️ xG: 2.38 – 0.11
🚀 Shots (SoT): 18 (5) – 2 (2)
📜 Notes:
• Erling Haaland scored 3 goals from all of his 3 shots on target. He converted his all 3 big chances in a goal with an xG of 1.42. He now averages a goal every 54 minutes and is yet to blank so far this season.
• Manchester City have gone behind by 2 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches. They have not lost any of those 4!
⏱️ Arsenal 2-1 Fulham
⚙️ xG: 2.47 – 0.68
🚀 Shots (SoT): 22 (8 ) – 11 (3)
📜 Notes:
• Gabriel extended his record of most goals scored by a defender since the start of last season to 6 goals.
• Mitrovic has already scored 4 goals from 19 shots this season. He only managed 3 goals from 69 shots in the entire season during his previous stint in the Premier League.
