Haaland’s blank against Villa was just the second time this season the Norwegian has failed to score. Over the last six Gameweeks, he’s found the net eight times — three more than second-placed Welbeck.
The Man City forward leads all players for shots (23), shots in the box (23) and shots on target (16), while only Mateta beats him for 'big chances' (12) and xG (5.74) during that period.
As shown in the Player Heatmaps feature below, Haaland has averaged 11.0 FPL points per game in home matches this season.
Man City have scored 12 goals over the last six Gameweeks — the most of any side. They also rank third for shots in the box (67) and third for 'big chances' (21).
Their visitors Bournemouth have conceded seven goals in the same period, keeping two clean sheets. The Cherries rank seventh for shots in the box conceded (45) and 11th for 'Expected Goals Conceded' (xGC) at 8.60.
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Haaland is projected to score 6.5 points this Gameweek.
Saka failed to register any attacking returns against Palace last weekend, but the England international's underlying numbers remain strong.
As shown in the image below from our Opta Stats Sandbox, the 24-year-old is top amongst all Arsenal players for 'Expected Assists' (xA) (1.49), while Rice (12) is the only Gunner to have attempted more assists than his 10.
He has also attempted seven shots in the box and landed three attempts on target.
Arsenal have scored 10 goals over the last six Gameweeks (seventh), the Gunners are ranked second for shots (95) and fourth for xG (12.18).
Their hosts Burnley have conceded 11 goals over the same period with only West Ham and Forest (12 each) faring worse. The Clarets are ranked bottom for shots conceded (116) and xGC (13.08).
Our Predicted Points & Stats tool currently projects a score of 4.5 points for Saka.
Mateta has scored four goals over the last six Gameweeks but the underlying numbers indicate he should have had more. The French international has had as many shots as Haaland (23) over that period and is ahead of him for both 'big chances' (13) and xG (6.70).
Palace have scored just eight goals over the last six Gameweeks (10th), but their underlying numbers have been stellar. The Eagles are ranked top for shots on target (32) and 'big chances' (26) while only Liverpool (14.78) have managed a higher xG tally than their 13.72.
Their visitors Brentford have conceded nine goals over the aforementioned period (ninth) and have kept just one clean sheet. The Bees are ranked 16th for shots conceded (80) and 12th for xGC (9.50).
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Mateta is projected to score 5.0 points this Gameweek.
Minteh has now delivered four FPL returns in the last six Gameweeks (one goal, three assists).
As shown in the image below from our Match Centre feature, over Brighton’s last five league matches he ranks third among their players for xG (0.8) and first for both FPL assists (two) and attempted assists (eight).
Brighton have scored 11 goals over the last six Gameweeks — with only Spurs, Bournemouth and Man City (12 each) finding the net more often. The Seagulls rank eighth for total shots (77) and 12th for xG (8.09).
Their visitors Leeds have conceded nine goals in the same period and kept no clean sheets. The promoted side rank third for both shots conceded (56) and xGC (5.04).
Our Predicted Points & Stats tool currently projects a score of 4.2 points for Minteh.
Gabriel is the top-scoring defensive asset in FPL with 68 points and the third-highest scorer overall — behind only Semenyo (73) and Haaland (85).
The Brazilian has contributed one goal, one assist, and six clean sheets this season, hitting the DEFCON threshold on three occasions.
Arsenal boast the best defensive record in the league, conceding the fewest goals (two), keeping the most clean sheets (four), and allowing the fewest shots in the box (29) over the last six Gameweeks.
Their hosts Burnley have scored eight goals in the same period (10th) but rank bottom for both shots in the box (25) and xG (4.06).
No defender has been afforded more 'big chances' than Gabriel (three) in the last six Gameweeks, while only Van de Ven (1.43) has a higher xG than his 1.11.
Our Predicted Points & Stats tool currently projects a 50% chance of an Arsenal clean sheet and a point score of 5.3 points for Gabriel.
