Erling Haaland scored his sixth goal in as many league matches in Gameweek 6. The Norwegian international leads all players for shots (22) and shots on target (11).
As the image below from our Opta Stats Sandbox shows, only Thierno Barry has registered more big chances (13 to Haaland’s 10) and a higher xG (5.25 to 5.12).
Manchester City are second only to Brighton (18) for goals scored (16). They also rank fourth for shots on target (31) and third for xG (12.03).
Their visitors, Ipswich, have conceded 12 goals. Only Newcastle, Bournemouth and Chelsea (13 each) have conceded more. The Tractor Boys are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and rank 16th for xGC (11.66).
Our Player Points Projections tool predicts 7.5 FPL points for Haaland in Gameweek 7.
Pascal Groß notched his eighth FPL return of the season with an assist against Sunderland. The 35-year-old leads midfielders for attempted assists (18) and is second only to Morgan Gibbs-White (seven) for big chances created (six).
As the image below from our Match Centre feature shows, he leads Brighton’s players for goals (three), xG (1.9), FPL assists (five) and attempted assists (14) over their last five league matches.

Our Player Points Projections tool predicts 4.3 FPL points for Groß in Gameweek 7.
Gonzalo García has found the back of the net just once this season, but his underlying numbers remain strong. The 22-year-old ranks third among forwards for shots in the box (16), behind only Thierno Barry and Erling Haaland (21 each).
As the image below from our Opta Stats Sandbox shows, he also ranks third among forwards for big chances (six) and fourth for xG (3.24).
Fulham have scored just six goals this season, but that is largely down to poor finishing rather than an inability to create chances. The Cottagers rank fifth for shots in the box (64) and ninth for xG (10.58).
Their visitors, Hull City, have conceded six goals in as many games and kept three clean sheets. The Tigers rank 11th for both shots conceded (84) and xGC (9.48).
Our Player Points Projections tool predicts 4.3 FPL points for Gonzalo in Gameweek 7.
Maxim De Cuyper is FPL’s joint-highest-scoring asset with 53 points, having thrived in a left-wing role in the absence of Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh.
No defender has attempted more assists (11) or created more big chances (three) than the Belgian international. He also ranks second only to Leif Davis (1.61) for xG (1.52) among defenders.
Brighton have kept four clean sheets this season, more than any other side. The Seagulls have also conceded the joint-fewest goals (five).
Their visitors, Palace, have scored nine goals and rank 16th for shots in the box (45). The Eagles rank 12th for xG (9.84).
