In this blog, the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) numbers from Wednesday's matches are analysed using the Fix Match Stats feature.

Palace 0 - 4 Spurs

Spurs responded to their loss against Villa with a resounding victory at Palace. The North London side registered an 'Expected Goals' (xG) figure of 1.42 compared to just 0.78 for their hosts. They scored four goals from only six shots on target (SoT) and were at their clinical best.

Son topped the xG table (0.46) and got on the scoresheet but the star of the show was undoubtedly Kane who found the back of the net twice from four shots. As the below image from our Predicted Points feature shows, only Haaland (61.2) is projected to score more points than his 33.5 amongst forwards over the next six gameweeks. He also created three chances which were of decent quality as his 0.45 'Expected Assists' tally shows. No defender has taken more shots (four) than Doherty so far this gameweek, the Irishman notched 0.36 xG and also attempted two assists. Palace struggled to create many clear-cut opportunities with Ayew (0.26) and Zaha (0.13) their top xG performers.

Villa 1 - 1 Wolves

Villa recovered from going a goal down early to pick up a point in the Midlands derby, the hosts registered an xG of 1.27 compared to 0.76 for their visitors and both teams had fairly similar shot numbers, with Villa landing four SoT and Wolves landing three SoT

Budget midfielder Bailey topped the xG table (0.48) for this game and missed a golden opportunity to win the game at the very end. Ings registered 0.45 xG despite playing just 24 minutes while Watkins managed zero shots in his 66 minutes. M. Nunes (0.34) was the only Wolves player to register an xG of over 0.10 as they struggled to create many clear cut scoring opportunities.
