GW10 STATS SUMMARY

Team xG

2.90 - Crystal Palace

2.62 - Tottenham

2.08 - Nottingham Forest

1.96 - Man United

1.96 - Leicester

Palace underperforming their xG seems to be a common theme.

Spurs and United both high and both have great fixtures this week.

Shots conceded

26 - Brentford

20 - Ipswich

19 - Wolves

19 - West Ham

18 - Bournemouth

Brentford defence is still one to target.

Some popular teams here again this week.

Player xG

1.66 - Solanke

1.32 - Fernandes

1.04 - Haaland

0.85 - Ayew

0.77 - Guéhi

Fernandes numbers slightly skewed by the penalty but a great option with 3 nice fixtures coming up.

Haaland owners unlucky again.

Player xA

0.69 - Foden

0.63 - Fatawu

0.58 - Moreno

0.54 - Son

0.51 - Hutchinson

Son with a lovely assist for Johnson.

Foden on this list for the second week running but without a return.

Shots

5 - Solanke, Ayew, Haaland

4 - Welbeck, I. Sarr, Fernandes, Mateta, Garnacho, Semenyo, Foden, P. Sarr, Winks, Hudson-Odoi

Garnacho continuing to take plenty of shots.

Shots on target

3 - Solanke

2 - 18 players

Solanke making up for the two weeks without any shots.

TIME TO SELL HAALAND?

Many Haaland owners are, understandably, becoming a bit frustrated with Haaland’s lack of attacking returns of late.

He has returned just once in the last 5 gameweeks and that return was only a 6-pointer.

So it’s no surprise that he’s been transferred out by over 300,000 managers already this week.

Although I’m not convinced that this is necessarily the best week to make the move.

The common move is likely to be selling Haaland and a midfielder to Salah and a cheaper forward.

There are plenty of cheap forwards to choose from that are performing well but Cunha is probably the most popular.

If you have 2 free transfers then I do think this is a good move but I would maybe wait a week to do it.

We know that Brighton aren’t the type of team to sit back and soak up pressure so you’d imagine Haaland will get plenty of chances.

I also don’t think that KDB being out is too much of an issue for Haaland.

We’ve seen over the last few weeks that he’s still getting plenty of chances, he’s just on a bit of a dry finishing run.

However, I can’t see this lasting so Haaland is definitely not a priority sell this week.

If you want to do the Haaland to Salah switch then I would maybe wait until next week to do it.

IS AÏT-NOURI ESSENTIAL?

So far this season Aït-Nouri has scored 3 goals and managed 2 assists so it’s no surprise that he’s getting a lot of attention.

Although the Wolves defence hasn’t been great clean sheet wise, he’s proved that he’s important going forward.

Wolves have had a slightly unique fixture run whereby, they’ve played pretty much all the tough teams already.

Therefore, for the next 7 gameweeks their fixtures are about as good as it gets.

Not only does this present them with a good chance of improving their defensive numbers, but also of scoring more goals too.

Since they’ve moved to a 5 at the back formation, Aït-Nouri has been playing even higher (if that were possible).

He often finds himself as the highest Wolves player.

For this reason, I think he’s a bargain at £4.7m and a player that you should strongly consider bringing in this week.

I expect Wolves’ defensive numbers to improve slightly but even if they’re not keeping clean sheets, Aït-Nouri has plenty of other routes to points.

CAPTAINCY

Salah, Fernandes, Son, Haaland and Solanke are the top 5 players in my captaincy model this week.
