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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s goal threat numbers are middling and don& #39;t compete with Sterling & Jesus but are much better than D Silva & KDB& #39;s.

7. KDB& #39;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& #39;s numbers are almost similar to his.

8. Sterling & Foden& #39;s creativity is non existent meaning they rely heavily on their goal threat for points.

9. Sterling & Jesus& #39;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& #39;s finishing has been pretty poor but even so he& #39;s been a bit unlucky not to have scored more with the number of chances he& #39;s got. Against Norwich he& #39;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& #39;s creativity numbers were better, Mahrez has an higher xA than him meaning Silva& #39;s chance creation has been at a better rate but Mahrez& #39;s of better quality

12. Interestingly Mahrez& #39;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& #39;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.
