GW29 Top Five Key Players

Fantasy Football Fix 17 March 2021

Harry Kane (avl)

Having notched three goals and two assists in the last five gameweeks, Kane has averaged 5.5 points per game (PPG). No player has taken as many shots in total (24) or landed as many on target (nine) in that time, while only Jesus, Vardy (each 13) and Diagne (14) can better his 12 shots in the box (SiB). Only Watkins (1.63) and Vardy (1.86) can better his 1.32 expected assists (xA) figure, amongst forwards. Kane is the most owned player in the top 1000 that plays in gameweek 29 as per our FPL Statistics feature. Spurs have scored 13 goals over the last six gameweeks, only Leicester (14) and Man. City (25) have scored more. Their total of 15 ‘big chances’ is only bettered by Chelsea (16), Leicester (19) and Man. City (28). Villa have conceded four goals over the last six gameweeks, keeping four clean sheets. However, the underlying statistics indicate they have been a bit lucky, only Burnley (102), Sheff. Utd (103), Palace (109) and Everton (110) have allowed opponents more shots than their 100. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 5.3 for Kane.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (whu)

Aubameyang was left out of Arsenal’s starting XI to face Spurs for disciplinary reasons, despite having scored four goals in the previous four gameweeks. During that period (gameweek 24 -27), only Mahrez (12) fired more than his nine SiB amongst midfielders, while only Sterling (five) recorded more than his four ‘big chances’. Only Maja (3.36) could better his 2.82 expected goals (xG) figure, across all positions. The Gunners are ranked second in the Fix Fixture Analyser for the next six weeks so Aubameyang could be a great long term buy. Arsenal have scored 10 goals over the last six gameweeks, only Spurs (13), Leicester (14) and Man. City (25) have been more prolific. The Gunners are ranked 14th for shots (74) and 11th for ‘big chances’ (11) over this period. Their opponents, West Ham, have conceded four goals over the last six gameweeks, keeping three clean sheets. However, the Hammers are ranked 14th for shots conceded (90), which indicates that Arsenal could have plenty of opportunities. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 3.2 for Aubameyang.

His total of four shots on target (SoT) and three ‘big chances’ rank joint-first amongst teammates, on par with Lingard.
