- I looked at both goals (G+A p90) and xG (xG+xA p90)
- Cutoff 600 min and 0.2 xG+xA p90
- Stats from Understat
- Shows how often a player is involved when their team scores or takes a shot (higher % better)

Players who caught my eye
- Nketiah (heavily involved in xG, but not goals)
- Wood (50% of Burnley attack goes through him when he plays)
- Kean (52% xG involvement, can he start ahead of DCL?)
- Iheanacho (High xG involvement, will he start?)

continued...
- Firmino (Not converting his chances)
- Che Adams (43% xG involvement when he plays, more than Ings who has 40% xG involvement. Can Adams be a regular starter?)
- Antonio (67% xG involvement, just get him in)

Conclusion
- I would look at these numbers along with how much their respective team create/score before making any decision
- These numbers are per 90min based. So, I would keep the players' minutes in mind before making decisions in FPL
