So I thought instead of doing 1 single Stat Attack for the last GW, why not do multiple to address different points/topics/conundrums for FPL managers.

Stat Attack 1: Best City assets

Here we go 👇
1. Before looking into the assets let me just state the obvious. Whatever moves you make in GW38 (FH or FT) please start by getting your 3 City assets & then try to build your team around them. Just because City assets are costly don't juggle them around & go for the 2nd/3rd best
asset just to fit in another player. City should, in theory, score the most goals of any team in GW38 & their players have the highest ceiling too. Don't compromise.

2. Here I have attached an image looking at the numbers of popular City assets since restart. Here are some
inferences from them.

3. Jesus & Sterling standout in terms of goal threat. Their numbers all across the board are near the top for all goal threat attributes.

4. Jesus is top for mins per shots & shots in the box whereas Sterling is top for mins per BC & SOT. Both of them are
in the top 3 of all the goal threat attributes.

5. KDB & D Silva are by far the worst City assets for goal threat. KDB is bottom for mins per SITB & SOT whereas D Silva is worst for mins per shot & big chance. They both are in the bottom 3 of all threat attributes.
6. Foden & Mahrez's goal threat numbers are middling and don't compete with Sterling & Jesus but are much better than D Silva & KDB's.

7. KDB's creativity is unrivalled. His chances & big chances created numbers are drastically better than other City assets. D Silva is the next
best in terms of creativity but Mahrez's numbers are almost similar to his.

8. Sterling & Foden's creativity is non existent meaning they rely heavily on their goal threat for points.

9. Sterling & Jesus's xG numbers show how clinical/lucky Sterling has been & Jesus vice versa.
10. Sterling has an xG of 4.81 & has scored 8 goals whereas Jesus has scored just 3 goals from an xG of 4.61. Jesus's finishing has been pretty poor but even so he's been a bit unlucky not to have scored more with the number of chances he's got. Against Norwich he's likely to get
a lot of chances & who knows he might just turn up with his correct shooting boots on

11. Interestingly even though D Silva's creativity numbers were better, Mahrez has an higher xA than him meaning Silva's chance creation has been at a better rate but Mahrez's of better quality
12. Interestingly Mahrez's numbers are very consistent across all attributes be it goal threat or creativity. With his selfish nature & higher ceiling of points to D Silva he could prove to be a great differential for people willing to take a punt.
13. KDB's 3 goals since restart have been 2 penalities & 1 FK. With his attacking numbers already fading & penalty & free kick duties likely to be with Sterling & D Silva justifying his higher price tag looks difficult

14. Based on the numbers, eye test & intuition the best
City assets according to me are:
Sterling>Jesus>Mahrez>D Silva> KDB> Foden.

Feel free to disagree & make your own conclusions.
