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.
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.
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.
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 Gameweek 2.
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.
Live rank, projected bonus after 20 minutes and a price predictor that recalculates every fifteen minutes. At the same time, the final score moves to nine o'clock the following day.
