Rashford has played a hand in 14 goals over 12 appearances at Old Trafford this season (10 goals, 4 assists), where he has averaged 7.3 points per game. As the Stats Sandbox shows, no FPL forward has scored more goals during home matches (10), while only Maupay and Abraham (each 21) can better the England international’s 20 SoT.

Raul Jiménez (ARS)

With four goals in the last six gameweeks, Jiménez has earned 33 FPL points and only Aubameyang (37) and Jota (35) are the only forwards with more in that time.

Arsenal have conceded just seven goals over the last six league matches, but the fact that they are second-bottom for SoT conceded (33) only behind Norwich (34), indicates that they have been a tad fortunate. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 5.1 for the Mexican.

Their opponents Villa have scored just two goals over the same six gameweek period and only Norwich (one) have fared worse. Sheff.
