xFPL review

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.

Jesus tops the Custom Stats xFPL table for gameweek two with a score of 13.0. The Brazilian international was top amongst all players this weekend for shots in the box (SiB) (seven), shots on target (SoT) (three) and 'big chances' (three). Rodrigo's underlying numbers were impressive as well, he took five SiB, two of which were 'big chances' and also created a 'big chance' leading to an xFPL score of 12.8. Salah was the most creative player of the gameweek with eight attempted assists but none of these were a 'big chance'. He also took two SiB but the Egyptian was largely ineffective as his xFPL score of 6.2 shows. Alexander-Arnold was unfortunate not to register a return, De Bruyne and the Liverpool right-back attempted five assists each, with Alexander-Arnold also creating two 'big chances' compared to the Belgian international's one. They notched xFPL scores of (Alexander-Arnold) 7.2 and (De Bruyne) 9.2 respectively.
