xFPL is calculated primarily using expected goals (xG), assists (xA), which combine as Fantasy Premier League (FPL) involvements (xG + xA = xI), as well as expected clean sheets (xC). These numbers are a result of underlying statistics (i.e. shot type and location will give a probability of scoring = xG). xFPL is the combination of these statistics and factors in appearance and bonus points to give an overall expected FPL point score.

Son tops the gameweek 30 Stats Sandbox for xFPL with a score of 11.0. The South Korean was the highest scoring Fantasy Premier League (FPL) asset as well with 15 points, he took three shots, two of which were 'big chances' and also created a 'big chance'. Ayling benefited from the red card to Jiménez, the fullback took three shots, landed two on target and also created a 'big chance' leading to an xFPL score of 10.09. Kane racked up three assists and an FPL score of 13 but his underlying numbers indicate that score could have been much bigger. No player registered a higher 'Expected Goals' (xG) tally (0.92) than the 28-year old as he missed both his 'big chances' and registered an xFPL score of 9.60.

No player created more chances than Maddison (four) over the weekend and the midfielder also landed two shots on target (SoT) accumulating an xFPL score of 7.96. In comparison, H. Barnes attempted just one assist and took only shot, leading to a low xFPL score of 3.34. Trincão came on as a substitute but still managed to top the gameweek for SoT (three), the Portuguese is one to monitor for the fixtures ahead.

Leeds top the Team Stats Sandbox for xG (2.81) but trail Spurs (17) for shots (15). There were a whopping 14 SoT in the Wolves-Leeds game with the hosts topping the table for SoT (eight) and Leeds managing six. West Ham and Villa could manage just a solitary SoT apiece and were poor in attack with Villa's xG of 0.34 the lowest of any team this gameweek. Despite scoring just one goal, Brentford posted decent underlying numbers with 1.62 xG and six SoT.

Spurs were the most frugal team of the weekend allowing just six shots to the opposition. The Villa-Arsenal game was a tight affair with both teams conceding just nine shots in the box (SiB) combined. West Ham's midweek exertions certainly showed, no team allowed more SiB (12) than the Hammers. Leicester continued to show defensive frailty with 11 SiB conceded.
