Man. City racked up an Expected Goals (xG) figure of 3.13 while putting four past Newcastle in gameweek 18. The reigning Champions took a whopping 18 shots and landed seven on target. Newcastle managed to test Ederson just once.
Cancelo, Sterling and Jesus were joint-first for shots (all three) but it is worth mentioning that in terms of xG, Sterling (0.56) and Jesus (0.60) were well ahead of Cancelo (0.23).
De Bruyne leads the way for attempted assists (five) and popular pick B. Silva is second with four. In terms of Expected assists (xA), B. Silva was well ahead of his Belgian teammate (0.65 to 0.27).
Spurs and Liverpool played out a thrilling draw in the final match of gameweek 18, and the match stats would indicate that Spurs were unlucky not to take all three points. The North London side were superior for xG (2.57) to Liverpool (1.64) despite taking fewer shots (10 to 18).
Kane topped the match stats for shots (six), at least double that of any other player. He was also top for xG (1.06) with Son second (0.98). The popular Liverpool duo of Salah (0.11) and Jota (0.16) racked up poor xG numbers with the Egyptian attempting just two shots all game.
Alexander-Arnold once again displayed his attacking prowess by topping the table for attempted assists (four).
The Fix Algorithm backs West Ham to beat Southampton on Boxing Day with a 2-0 victory. The Hammers have a strong head-to-head record against the Saints, not losing in any of their last five matches.
A look at the last five game statistics indicates that the Hammers have been spreading the goals around with no player scoring more than one goal over that period. In terms of xG, Bowen (1.2) leads the way with Lanzini (0.8) in second. Bowen also leads the way for SoT (four) and is joint-first for assists (one).
Popular forward option Antonio does show up in the attempted assists numbers with seven chances created. Bowen comes in second with four.
Based on the numbers above, Bowen looks a great pick for the Hammers' kind run of fixtures.
Arsenal players are popular picks after they were one of the few teams to feature in gameweek 18 and the Algorithm predicts a 0-2 away win for the Gunners. Arsenal have had a favourable record against Norwich in the top flight as well, winning three and drawing two of their last five matches.
Martinelli dominates the attacking numbers over the last five matches. The Brazilian is top for goals (three), xG (2.3), assists (two) while only Ødegaard (17) has attempted more assists than his 12. Lacazette also fares well, though the Frenchman has scored just one goal over the last five, he is second for xG (2.0), top for SoT (six) and fourth for attempted assists (five). Saka is third for xG (1.3) and SoT (four) while only the aforementioned duo of Martinelli and Ødegaard have attempted more assists.
Based on these numbers, Martinelli looks like the player to target.
