Karl Marius Aksum left Mjällby on Tuesday, three days before the round opens away at Häcken. The weekly report's coaching table shows why the decision is harder than it looks: measured against the team's actual play, Aksum took 0.27 points per match more than the chances justified.
Erik Botheim and Noah Christoffersson were sold abroad in the first days of September, after the Swedish window had closed. Ahead of round 21 both sit on 0.0 expected fantasy points and are owned by a combined 13.6 per cent of the league's teams.
Konstantinos Tzolakis has saved ten shots out of ten, worth 1.27 expected goals, and Hull City sit third without having conceded a goal. Fulham have the third highest expected goals in the league and zero points.
Two rounds in, Hull City have six points, three goals scored and the lowest field tilt in the league. Brentford have the highest expected goals, the third best defence and four points. The table and the model are rarely as far apart as they are right now.
Västerås and Sirius meet on Saturday, and both have sold the player who produced their goals. Sirius have not won in four matches since Robbie Ure joined Sevilla. The weekly report still projects the leaders to 62.7 points and Hammarby to 55.9.
The Swedish transfer window closed at midnight on 31 August. The four players carrying zero expected fantasy points because they no longer play for their clubs will therefore never score another point this season. They are still owned by a combined 59.9 percentage points of all teams...
We have shipped a tool that scores every player on how much of a differential he is. Here is how to use it, and who tops the list ahead of Round 19.

Ten fixtures, one round played and numbers that already point somewhere. Match by match: what PlaymakerAI's report says ahead of gameweek 2, and where the fantasy points should be.
814,606 managers played a bench boost on the opening weekend and 250,816 played a triple captain. One in eight of the teams ranked in Gameweek 1 had a chip active.
The most owned and most captained player in FPL returned two points on the opening weekend. The highest score in the league went to a defender owned by 6.8 per cent, a tenth of Haaland's ownership.
Our xFP model expected 54.8 points from its optimal Gameweek 1 side. It got 40. The defence delivered, the midfield did not, and Igor Thiago missed a penalty. Plus three names for Gameweek 2.
