Scouting notes, injury updates, transfer rumours and more.
Brighton have won four in a row without conceding and sit third, above Liverpool. On Sunday they go to Anfield. One more win would be their longest winning run in the Premier League since 2016/17.
Nottingham Forest have the Premier League's second highest expected points, 9.6, but only 5 points and fifteenth place. On Sunday they host Arsenal, the only side with a higher figure. One point separates them on expected points, ten in the table.
Manchester City, Arsenal and Bournemouth share the Premier League's highest expected points after five rounds, 8.5. City have turned it into 15 points and top spot, Bournemouth into 3 and seventeenth. On Sunday City go to Liverpool, who have kept three clean sheets in a row.
Sirius lead Allsvenskan, Djurgården have kept five consecutive clean sheets and Hammarby own the best numbers in the league at both ends. The strangest team in the round sits seventh. AIK have 33 points against 23.0 expected, the widest gap in the division, and travel to Halmstad on Sunday.
Round 22 hands three of its five best-ranked players to a single club, IFK Göteborg, away at Brommapojkarna, and the league has barely noticed. None of the three reaches ten percent ownership. Deadline is Saturday 19 September, 14:55.
Arsenal and Manchester City sit on twelve points apiece after four rounds, having conceded one goal and two. Further down the table is a side that has played better than either relative to what it has received.
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...
