Fantasy Football Fix 30 Aug. 2022

Caveat - Picks are in the below format

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

Erling Haaland (NFO)

Haaland has hit the ground running with six goals in his first four league matches, the 22-year-old is top amongst forwards for shots in the box (SiB) (17) and 'big chances' (10) this season while only Mitrović (10) has landed more shots on target (SoT) than his nine. Man. City top all the attacking statistics - goals scored (13), shots (72), SoT (24) and 'big chances' (17). Their visitors Forest have conceded only five goals but are bottom of the league for shots conceded (79) and SoT conceded (27). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 7.9 for Haaland.

Mohamed Salah (NEW)

Salah will be desperate to get on the scoresheet after missing out against Bournemouth and as the below image from our Match Stats feature shows, the Egyptian international is still top amongst Liverpool players for goals scored (three), 'Expected Goals' (3.5) and SoT (seven) while only Alexander-Arnold (17) has created more chances than his 15. Liverpool are joint-top for goals scored (13) while only Man. City (17) have created more 'big chances' than their 14. No team has taken more SiB than the Merseyside outfit (56). Newcastle have conceded just four goals but their underlying numbers are encouraging. The Magpies are ranked 16th for SoT conceded (19) while only Leicester (13) have allowed opponents more 'big chances' than their 12. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 6.8 for Salah.
