Interpreting the stats - FPL analysis Thread (GW30+)
Going through each game, looking at stats - which players look hot, which players look... not?
Using @WhoScored for the data, studying the numbers along with key heat maps
This took a fair bit of time, likes/RTs appreciated!
AV 0 - 0 SHU
5 shots from Davis from 18 touches (a 4.3m mid!) - Vardy'esque, without the goals
Grealish as creative as any other AV player (poor), Hourihane matching him
Baldock/Stevens both bombing down the wings, Lund acting as a true box-to-box mid (heatmap below)
MCI 3 - 0 ARS
KDB with 5 shots, the key creative player also
Jesus 37 touches mostly deep, wingers running off him
3/2 shots for Sterling/Mahrez, both roughly 50 touches (solid as an attacker)
Mendy 75 touches but not too attacking, mostly stayed in position (heatmap below)
NOR 0 - 3 SOU
Redmond with 9(!) dribbles, 41 touches mostly in attacking positions
3 shots from Bertrand, HM (below) shows he occasionally cuts inside
3 shots for McLean (Pukki/Drmic had 1 each), HM shows him mostly playing as a CDM
Cantwell 39 touches, Buendia almost double
TOT 1 - 1 MUN
4 shots for Son, 5 for Bruno, 1 for Kane
Kane playing VERY deep for a ST, 36 touches
Son 64 touches, Bergwijn 34
Aurier mostly playing deep, 67 touches
AWB HM below, 101 touches, VERY attacking!
Bruno 92 touches, very attacking, best FPL option imo
WAT 1 - 1 LEI
Justin 112 touches! HM below, same role as Pereira
Maddison 5 shots, 7 corners, 89 touches, their key play maker
Chilwell = 1 shot, 1 goal, less attacking heatmap than Justin (85 touches)
Femenia played high up hugging the touching, only WAT positive I can find
BRI 1 - 2 ARS
7 shots for Auba, uncharacteristically wasteful (4 for Maupay)
Pepe mostly hugging the touchline
Saka 48 touches, 2 shots, 1 assist, hit the woodwork, relatively attacking (HM below)
Ignoring Brighton due to tough fixtures
WHU 0 - 2 WOL
Jiminez 4 shots, limited for others
Doherty HM below, 60 touches, occasionally gets into the box
Jonny 72 touches hugging touchline, decent assist potential
WHU doing WHU things, Noble with most touches at 74
BOU 0 - 2 CRY
Lerma most shots at 3, as a CDM
Ayew = 1 shot, 1 goal, 52 touches all over the pitch
PVA surprisingly defensive HM (below)
King played as a LM, 29 touches, 0 touches in the box
Smith/Stacey did attack the wings from L/RB (both 4.3m)
