GW8 Top Five Key Players

Fantasy Football Fix 15 Sept. 2022

Headliner - Harry Kane (LEI)

Kane has found the back of the net five times this season, only Mitrović (six) and Haaland (10) have been more prolific amongst forwards. The England international's 16 shots in the box (SiB) is only bettered by Jesus (20), Mitrović (22) and Haaland (24) while no forward has created more chances (13). Spurs are ranked fifth for goals scored (12) while only Man. City (37) and Liverpool (38) have landed more shots on target (SoT) than their 36. Rotation could be a factor for Spurs' front three but Kane is still one of the first names on the team sheet and is rated at 97% to start by our Predicted Lineups feature. Their visitors Leicester have conceded a whopping 16 goals this season and are yet to keep a clean sheet. Only Bournemouth (18) have shipped more goals than the Foxes, while only Palace (20) have allowed opponents more 'big chances' than their 18. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 6.2 for Kane.

Kevin De Bruyne (wol)

De Bruyne has scored just one goal this season but is ranked fourth for shots (17) amongst midfielders with only Gordon (18), Rodrigo (19) and Martinelli (20) managing more. Salah (24) is the only player to have attempted more assists than his 20 while no player across all positions has created more 'big chances' (seven). As the below image from our Transfer Analytics feature shows, he is a popular transfer target this week with the Egyptian international not having a fixture. Man. City are top for both goals scored (20) and 'big chances' (28) while only Liverpool (38) have landed more SoT than their 37. Their hosts Wolves have the best defensive record in the league with just four goals conceded. The Midlands side are ranked eighth for shots conceded (70) and seventh for SoT conceded (20) so they have ridden their luck a bit. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 5.1 for De Bruyne.

Aleksandar Mitrović (nfo)

Mitrović has blanked in only one game this season (six goals) with only Haaland (10) being more prolific. The Serbian international is top amongst forwards for shots (27) and SoT (15) while only Haaland (14) has been afforded more 'big chances' than his eight. Fulham are ranked eighth for goals scored (nine) and 11th for 'big chances' (11). The Cottagers are ranked second on our Fixture Analyser for the next six gameweeks so it is a great time to bring in Mitrović. Forest's defensive numbers offer plenty of encouragement, they have conceded 14 goals so far with only Leicester (16) and Bournemouth (18) more porous. No team has allowed opponents more SoT (39) while only Fulham (17), Leicester (18) and Palace (20) have been more generous in terms of providing 'big chances' (16). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 5.0 for Mitrović.

Arsenal have scored 14 goals with only Brentford, Liverpool (15 each) and Man. City (20) more prolific. The Gunners (103) trail only Liverpool for shots (117) while only Brentford (21) and Man. City (28) have fashioned more 'big chances' than their 18. Their hosts Brentford have conceded nine goals so far and have kept just one clean sheet.

Kieran Trippier (BOU)

Trippier has been one of the standout performers of the season so far and only Alexander-Arnold (13) has created more chances than the English international (11) amongst defenders, while he is also second for crosses (50) to the Liverpool man (57). Newcastle have conceded just six goals in as many matches with only Spurs, Brighton (five each) and Wolves (four) more frugal. No side has kept more clean sheets than the Magpies (three). Their visitors Bournemouth have scored five goals but have the worst attacking numbers in the league. The Cherries are bottom for SiB (24), SoT (12) and 'big chances' (two). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a 60% chance of a Newcastle clean sheet and a a point score of 4.6 for Trippier.
