Fernandes was joint-top for shots in Gameweek 10 with six, although the penalty he converted was his only effort from inside the box. He also created four chances, two of which Opta classified as big chances. His xFPL score of 11.2 ranked third among all players this Gameweek.
Evanilson’s goal against Ipswich was his fifth in as many Gameweeks. The 27-year-old had four shots against the Tractor Boys, two of them from inside the box. He also created a big chance and finished with an impressive xFPL score of 8.4.
The expected FPL points (xFPL) model estimates how many points a player’s performance was likely to produce. The calculation uses underlying data including expected goals, expected assists, expected clean sheets, appearance points and projected bonus points.
It is best used to assess the quality of a player’s performance rather than simply looking at his final FPL score.
Nicolas Jackson is the most-bought player ahead of Gameweek 11 after 33 FPL points over the last three Gameweeks. Nearly 200,000 managers had transferred him in at the time of writing, according to our Transfer Analytics tool.
More than 150,000 FPL managers have brought in Thierno Barry despite the 24-year-old’s upcoming fixtures against Brentford, Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Evanilson is also in demand after scoring in five consecutive matches. Jan Paul van Hecke continues to attract buyers despite missing out on a clean sheet against Leeds United.
At the other end of the market, João Pedro is the most-sold player for the third week running, with more than 200,000 transfers out.
Manchester City’s defensive struggles have also prompted managers to sell Joško Gvardiol and Marc Guéhi. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Igor Thiago are losing owners too, given the form of budget alternatives such as Jackson, Barry and Evanilson.
Nicolas Jackson is this week’s most popular transfer target, but managers are split on which forward to sell. João Pedro to Jackson is the only move to account for more than 10% of all forward transfers, at 10.3%.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Charalampos Kostoulas are also among the forwards making way, while Evanilson, Thierno Barry and Alexander Isak are popular targets.
Managers are split on their midfield moves this week. Kevin Schade to Johan Manzambi is the only transfer combination above 5%, accounting for 7.6% of midfield moves.
Marcus Tavernier remains a popular target despite going two Gameweeks without a goal or an assist. Pascal Groß is still attracting buyers despite being one booking away from suspension.
Declan Rice, Jack Rudoni and Mohamed Belloumi are also gaining owners, while Josh King, Harvey Barnes, Rayan Cherki and Bryan Mbeumo are among those making way.
Joško Gvardiol to Jan Paul van Hecke is the most popular transfer combination across all positions this week, at 22.1%. The Dutch defender features in four of the top 10 defensive moves.
Luka Vušković is also in demand after his 12-point haul. Only Maxim De Cuyper has scored more FPL points among defenders.
Lewis Hall, James Tarkowski and Bobby Thomas are among the defenders losing owners.
Nicolas Jackson, Thierno Barry and Evanilson are the three most-bought players in FPL this week. Jackson has scored 50 points in the last six Gameweeks, Barry leads the way for big chances and Evanilson has scored in five straight matches. Here’s how the trio compare with Charalampos Kostoulas and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the Fix Comparison Matrix.
Jackson has scored six goals and registered one FPL assist for Aston Villa over the last six Gameweeks, earning 50 points.
The Senegal international ranks second among the five forwards for shots inside the box (17), shots on target (10) and big chances (eight). He also leads the group for attempted assists (eight).
Barry ranks joint-second for goals (five) and leads the comparison for both shots inside the box (22) and shots on target (11). The standout figure is his 17 big chances, as many as the other four forwards combined.
Evanilson ranks second in the comparison with 45 FPL points over the last six Gameweeks. His 14 shots inside the box suggest he is offering a greater goal threat under Marco Rose than he did under Andoni Iraola.
The question is whether he can sustain his scoring rate. Five of his seven shots on target have gone in, with opposition goalkeeping errors contributing to several of those goals.
After bright starts, Kostoulas and Calvert-Lewin now trail the three most popular picks for shots inside the box and big chances. They have taken just eight shots apiece from inside the box over the last six Gameweeks and had only four big chances between them.
