Aubameyang was unable to extend his total of eight goals when the Gunners traveled to Leicester last gameweek, seeing a goal correctly ruled offside during the 2-0 defeat. As the Fix Heatmaps feature shows, the Arsenal forward has netted four goals in six home matches this season, averaging 5.3 points per game (PPG) at the Emirates. He was afforded five of his team’s 10 'big chances' during those games and fired eight shots on target (SoT) to rank joint-fifth amongst forwards, only trailing Rashford, Vardy (each nine), Abraham (10) and Pukki (11). Arsenal have scored 16 goals this season, and only seven teams have scored more. They are sixth for shots in the box (SiB) with 95 and eighth for SoT with 53. Their opponents Southampton have conceded 29 goals, more than any team in the league. They are also ranked third-worst for ‘big chances’ conceded with 36, only Norwich (38) and West Ham (39) have conceded more. Our Fix Algorithm projects a point score of 6.9 for the Gabonese.
Man. City’s 3-1 defeat at Anfield last gameweek saw Sterling miss a 'big chance', while no player fired more shots (four) or exceeded his 0.40 xG (expected goals) during the match. Still owned by 42% of the top 1000 as per our FPL Statistics feature, the Englishman has chipped in with two goals and one assist in the last six gameweeks, with no teammate directly contributing to more goals (three) during that period, while only Jesus (six) could better his five 'big chances' amongst Man. City players. He fired a league-best total of 18 shots inside the box (SiB) across that spell, while only De Bruyne (15), Digne, Willian (each 18) and Alexander-Arnold (19) produced more than his 14 attempted assists. Man. City are top for goals (35), shots (258), SoT (85) and ‘big chances’ (56) despite lying at fourth in the Premier League. Chelsea have conceded 12 goals in their six away matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels. Only Watford, Villa (both 13) and Newcastle (14) have conceded more goals on the road than the Blues. They are also ranked 11th for ‘big chances’ conceded in away matches with 13. Our Fix Algorithm projects a point score of 5.7 for Sterling.
A late goal from Richarlison gave Everton all three points against Southampton last gameweek, as the Brazilian found his sixth goal involvement of the season (three goals, three assists). The 22-year-old has provided one goal and two assists over the last four gameweeks, to return an average of 5.8 points per game. As the Stats Sandbox feature shows, only four midfielders (Son, Salah, Sterling and Pulisic) fired more than his eight SiB during that period, while only Pulisic (32) and Sterling (72) took more than his 30 touches in the opposition’s box. Although Everton have only scored 13 goals this season, they are ranked sixth both for shots (162) and ‘big chances’ (27) indicating they have been a bit unlucky. Norwich have conceded 28 goals thus far, only Southampton (29) have conceded more. No team allowed opponents more SoT than their 75 and only West Ham (39) conceded more ‘big chances’ than their 38. Our Fix Algorithm projects a point score of 5.3 for Richarlison.
