Bruno Fernandes (che/cry)

B. Fernandes has been in terrific form all season, finding the back of the net on 15 occasions, only Salah can better that total (17). As the Stats Sandbox shows, no midfielder has taken more shots (83) or landed more shots on target (SoT) (36), while only Grealish (75) has created more chances than his 71. Man. Utd have scored 53 goals this season, more than any other side and also top the table for SoT (146). Only Man. City (73) have created more ‘big chances’ than the Red Devils' 67. Chelsea have conceded 25 goals this season and Man. City (15) are the only team to have conceded fewer. The Blues are ranked third for both shots conceded (225) and ‘big chances’ conceded (33), however, they have yet to face a team from the top-half of the table (bar Spurs) over the last six gameweeks, since Tuchel took over from Lampard. Palace’s defensive numbers are encouraging. Only West Brom (55) have conceded more goals than the Eagles (43) while only Fulham, Sheff. Utd (each 57), Leeds (62) and West Brom (63) have conceded more ‘big chances’ than their 56. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 13.0 for B. Fernandes.

He leads the creativity numbers with 33 chances created and 11 assists. Kane is close to a price rise and any movements can be monitored using our Price Predictor feature as displayed below.

Barnes and Raphinha (all nine) have taken more shots in the box (SiB) than his eight. No midfielder has been afforded more ‘big chances’ (five).
