The business end of the season is here and with the top two teams fighting it out for the title managers would be wise to load up on their assets. With Alexander-Arnold suffering a hamstring injury, this blog focusses on two alternatives Cancelo and Robertson using the Fix Heatmaps feature.

Over the last seven gameweeks Robertson has racked up a massive 50 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points compared to just 28 for Cancelo though it must be mentioned that the former has played a game extra. The Scot's average of 8.3 points per game is up there with the top performers in the league over that period.

The Touch Map for both players is quite similar with more activity in the attacking half than their own. Cancelo's touchmap is slightly superior with more touches in the attacking half and more touches in the box as well.

The 'Average Defensive Radar' for both players is fairly similar but the 'Average Attacking Radar' is quite interesting. In terms of creativity, Robertson seems to be miles ahead but Cancelo has significantly more goal threat.

A closer look at the underlying numbers backs up what was seen on the radar. Cancelo averages 2.8 shots to Robertson's 0.67 but it is worth mentioning that these appear to be mostly speculative shots as the 0.12 average 'Expected Goals' (xG) figure for the Portuguese indicate. He still averages 1.4 shots in the box (SiB) per game to Robertson's 0.33 which is significant.

In terms of creativity, Robertson blows Cancelo away with 2.33 attempted assists per game to just 0.60 for Cancelo. The Scot also averages 0.33 'big chances' created per game to zero for Cancelo.

Based on this analysis, both players appear to be excellent picks with Robertson marginally ahead due to stellar creative numbers.
