(THREAD)

There will be no real theme throughout this thread like I usually have. Simply wanted to talk about a couple of topics from the past few gameweeks.

Let’s start with Leicester assets that have a great schedule coming up with eve, LEE, ful, wol. It seems like...

Rodgers has decided the front 3 now with Maddison, Barnes and Vardy. Let’s compare them per start over their last 4 games:

Barnes vs Maddison vs Vardy

xG: 0,49 - 0,12 - 0,35
Touches in the box: 5,25 - 1,33 - 6,67
Shots: 3,5 - 2 - 3,33
Shots on target: 1,5 - 0,67 - 0,67
xA: 0,11 - 0,13 - 0,23
Key passes: 0,5 - 2,67 - 0,67
FPL points: 6,5 - 7,67 - 4

Interestingly enough it’s actually Harvey Barnes that has shown the most promise out of the Leicester attack in recent weeks, especially if you look at value for money with Vardy being...
considerably more expensive than Maddison and Barnes. Barnes is the cheapest and the lowest owned Leicester attacker. He is definitely a differential that I am looking towards despite it being tough to fit in all the great midfielders in FPL this season.
Kane vs Son

Kane over the last 3 games (LEE, FUL, shu) vs the previous 3 games (liv, LEI, wol)

FPL points: 29 - 6
Goals: 3 - 0
Assists: 1 - 0

xG: 2,07 - 0,22
xA: 1,64 - 0,05
Son over the last 3 games (LEE, FUL, shu) vs the previous 3 games (liv, LEI, wol)

FPL points: 20 - 14
Goals: 1 - 1
Assists: 0 - 2

xG: 2,32 - 1,12
xA: 1,26 - 0,15

Looking at these stats it’s obvious that especially Kane has improved a ton because of the better fixtures. When...
he faced tougher defences (liv, LEI, wol) he really seemed to struggle but now Kane and Son looks to be back in the form that they had earlier in the season and it’s scary for me as a Spurs non-owner. Their fixtures coming up are a bit of a mixed bag so it will be interesting...
to see how they do over this period.

Man City defense

Let’s take a look at Man City’s defensive numbers since GW10 just to see how unbelievable they are:

xGC (expected goals conceded per game):
Man City 0,41
Arsenal 1,02
Leicester 1,1
Chelsea 1,17
Aston Villa 1,21
These stats are absolutely ridiculous. To concede less than half of the expected goals as the 2nd best defensive team in the league is almost unheard of. At least a double up on Man City defense is actually as close to essential as you can come.
Finally I want to talk (yet again) about the new kid on the block, Jayden Bogle. Obviously it might be a bit early to talk about him since we don’t really know if he will keep his spot at right wing back now that Baldock is back and that their next two fixtures are terrible...
facing both the Manchester clubs. However it’s his attacking potential that we are interested in. No defender has had more touches in the box, shots, shots on target, shots in the box, big chances or xG than Bogle since he started his first PL game in GW17. Hopefully he can...
his place and Sheffield Utd can start building some type of defensive form when they face WBA (H) in GW22. With 0,1% ownership and only costing 4.3, he should be one on the watchlist for many.
