28 April 2022

Caveat - Picks are in below format

  1. No.1 predicted by Fix 
  2. Alternative high-ownership option. Over 20%
  3. Differential option. Under 20%

Mohamed Salah (new)

Salah has racked up three goals over the last six gameweeks with only Son (six) more prolific amongst midfielders. The Egyptian (17) is only second to Saka for shots in the box (SiB) (18) and no midfielder has created more 'big chances' (four) over that period. Liverpool have found the back of the net 14 times with only Spurs (16) faring better. Their total of 61 SiB can only be bettered by Brentford (63) and Arsenal (74). The Magpies have tightened up in defence of late conceding just eight goals over the last six gameweeks, keeping three clean sheets. They are ranked seventh for shots on target (SoT) conceded (20) and 10th for 'big chances' conceded (11). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 6.9 for Salah.

Heung-Min Son (LEI)

Despite failing to find the back of the net in his last two games, Son is top amongst midfielders for goals scored (six) over the last six gameweeks. His total of 14 SiB is only bettered by Zaha (15), Mbeumo, Salah (17 each) and Saka (18). As the Stats Sandbox image below shows, only Saka (eight) and Zaha (nine) have landed more SoT than his seven. Spurs have scored 16 goals over the aforementioned period, no side has managed more. The London side are also top for 'big chances' (18). Leicester have their eyes on the Europa Conference and have conceded eight goals over the last six gameweeks keeping just one clean sheet. Only Southampton (39) have allowed opponents more SoT than the Foxes (34). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 6.0 for Son.

Kevin De Bruyne (lee)

De Bruyne has notched two goals over the last six gameweeks while attempting 10 shots and landing five SoT. He is top for chances created (19) amongst midfielders while only Mbeumo and Kulusevski (four each) have managed more assists than his three. Salah (four) is the only player to have created more 'big chances' (three) than the Belgian. As the below image from our FPL Statistics feature shows, his ownership is below 10% across all rank tiers and he remains a powerful differential. Man. City have scored 12 goals over the last six gameweeks with only Liverpool (14) and Spurs (16) being more prolific. The Manchester side are ranked eighth for 'big chances' (12) and seventh for SoT (27). Leeds have been better defensively under Marsch conceding just four goals in the last six gameweeks. The Yorkshire side are ranked seventh for shots conceded (65) and eighth for 'big chances' conceded (nine). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 6.6 for De Bruyne.
