1/11 #GW38 Fixture Analysis

In this thread, I will construct the expected goals figure for each team for GW38 based on the expected goals (xG) and expected goals conceded (xGC) since the restart (GW30 to GW37).

3/11 Expected goals for #GW38

Example: ARS v WAT

ARS xG/game (GW30-37)=1.00
WAT xGC/game (GW30-37)=1.56
ARS GW38 xG=average(ARS xG/game, WAT xGC/game)=1.28

WAT xG per game (GW30-37)=1.18
ARS xGC per game(GW30-GW37)=1.33
WAT GW38 xG=average(WAT xG/game, ARS xGC/game)=1.25

Arsenal is unlikely to smash Watford given the xG figures & the fact it is a must-win game for Watford. I wouldn’t expect too much from Auba and Laca. The stats suggest Kane would be a better option against an injury-filled Crystal Palace.

5/11 #GW38 Fixture Analysis

Seen many FH teams double or even tripling up on the BUR defense. A viable strategy given the low cost & low ownership of players along with Pope going for the golden glove. However, there are THREE teams with lower xGC in GW38 – MCI, TOT, SOU.

6/11 #GW38 Fixture Analysis

Aurier looks like a great option this week with Spurs having the 2nd best xGC behind MCI. If you are looking for differentials, look at the SOU defense with the likes of Stephens and Bertrand. Low cost and very low ownership if you are chasing.

7/11 #GW38 Fixture Analysis

Speaking of Southampton, they have the 3rd highest expected goals for GW38 behind MCI and LIV. With Danny Ings eyeing up the Golden Boot, he should definitely be considered for one of your attacking slots at just 7.6m.

8/11 #GW38 Fixture Analysis

MCI v NOR - The best attack vs the worse defense.
3 MCI players is a must. My advice is to wait for possible early team news from @FplScarface (thank you legend). I wouldn’t waste a slot on MCI def since I expect a cricket score for this game.

9/11 #GW38 Fixture Analysis

Liverpool has the 2nd highest xG against an injury-filled Newcastle. Usual players should be considered. Salah would be desperate to score at least 1 more goal to get his 3rd consecutive 20 goal haul since he joined the club.

#FPL
10/11 #GW38 Fixture Analysis

LEI vs MUN. A must-win game for LEI while MUN must avoid losing to secure top 4. Although the stats suggest that MUN are the favorites, I think this game is the most unpredictable in the GW so I wouldn't be loading up on these players on a FH.

11/11 #GW38 Fixture Analysis

I'm currently ranked 9.3k, hoping to consolidate a top 10k spot while chasing down my brother who's at 5.7k. It will be a tricky balancing act.

Good luck with the final GW of this crazy season!
