DANNY INGS {THREAD} I've been looking for posts that will convince me to buy Ings this week, so I thought I may as well go and find the stats myself and share.
(All stats are from the last 5 gameweeks)
Enjoy!
[1/7]
- Ings has the 8th highest xG of forwards (1.84) 
- Joint 7th highest number of shots (11), averaging just over 2 a week
- Ings has the 3rd highest xA of forwards (1.33)
- 1 Goal and 0 Assists is a poor return, so let's look at the team as a whole

[2/7]
SOU are averaging 1.34 xG a game but only 0.8 actual goals a game, suggesting they are finishing their chances poorly.
They are pretty average for xA, Key Passes and Big Chances created per game too, slap bang in the middle of the table.

SOU have the worst average xGC at the moment (2.11 per game), though the 9-0 would have skewed this somewhat.
They are in awful form, losing 6 on the bounce in the league, though didn't look awful in their two games vs Wolves last week.

Ings' record vs upcoming teams:
CHE - P6:
LEE - P1:
EVE - P10:
SHU - P2:
BRI - P8:
CHE have the best defensive record at the moment after MCI. Ings vs Leeds is an unknown quantity.

In Summary...
Ings is playing well himself, let down by his teammates? (cough Redmond)
2 goals in 6, (stats suggest he's been unlucky)
Great record vs EVE + BRI coming up
On pens
Potential 3 DGWs
SOU awful form
CHE + LEE not great DGW fixtures

He isn't playing badly, there's a high chance he will have multiple DGWs and although I'm not backing Southampton to go on a winning run, I think they can score goals in each game, with Ings likely involved if they do (45% EI).
Decision: BUY (once fixtures confirmed)
