Scout explains why there are more managers Fantasy Premier League We are switching to premium midfielders like Mohammed Salah (£12.9 million), Cole Palmer (£10.9 million) and Bukayo Saka (at a cost of £10.1 million) Manchester City forward Erling Haaland (£15.2 million).

Liverpool’Salah is the only player to exceed the 100-point mark so far, collecting 107 points with eight goals and six assists in 11 games.

Chelsea Meanwhile, star Palmer took second place with 7 goals, 5 assists and 84 points, ahead of Haaland, who collected 82 points with 12 goals.

Who is more likely to score?

When assessing each player’s goal threat in Fantasy, it’s clear to see why Haaland looks well on his way to a third consecutive Golden Boot.

Haaland’s 49 shots in the box matched the total of Salah and Palmer, who scored 30 and 19 points respectively.

Similarly, Haaland’s 19 big chances, or situations in which the player is expected to score, is just one less than Salah and Palmer’s 20 combined.

The Norwegian’s goal conversion of 21.8 percent looks quite sustainable and suggests he can continue scoring goals at the same rate for the rest of the season.

Goal threat compared to GW1-11

But the point scoring system in Fantasy reveals the reason for these basic stats, in addition to each player’s classification. It should not be viewed alone.

Midfielders like Salah, Palmer ArsenalWhile Saka gets five points for every goal he scores, Haaland only gets four points as a striker.

Midfielders also collect one point for each clean sheet their team keeps, but forwards are NOT awarded.

A breakdown of his performances this season helps explain why Salah has made such a strong start to the new Fantasy campaign.

Haaland, who was the best-selling player before Gameweek 12, collected 48 points from the goals he scored, and each of these 12 shots earned him four points. He earned zero points due to his side’s two clean sheets.

Salah’s eight goals gave him 40 points as a midfielder, the equivalent of 10 Haaland goals. The former also got six points from clean sheets.

So despite scoring four goals (or just two-thirds) fewer than Haaland, Salah has amassed 46 points from goals and clean sheets; Just two points less than Man City’s talisman.

Palmer’s seven goals and two clean sheets helped Haaland collect 37 points, matching his nine goals.

Who is more likely to get an assist?

Creativity statistics highlight the huge difference between Haaland and the three premium midfielders.

Haaland failed to make a single assist as he made just five key passes and created no great chances to his name. Frankly, return potential depends almost entirely on goal threat.

Salah made 6 assists and reached 18 more points.

Saka and Palmer collected 21 and 15 points from assists, respectively. The duo are in the top two here in terms of both important passes and big opportunities created; Saka is the league’s leading player in the second statistic with 13 points.

The statistic “Great chances created” is particularly important here because Bonus Point System (BPS) helps determine the bonus points in any match.

Indeed, thanks to their creative efforts, both Saka and Palmer have earned bonus points in matches in which they neither scored nor assisted this season.

Who has the best fixtures?

Compared to top-flight midfielders, Haaland clearly has the toughest schedule ahead of him. according to Fixture Difficulty Levels (FDR) scored a total of 21 points in their next six games, only one of which scored two goals – against Crystal Palace In Gameweek 15.

In contrast, Palmer and Saka’s next six matches each saw FDR score just 15 points. More importantly, Palmer has only taken two points from his four matches and City of Leicester, southampton, Brentford And Everton It gives him many opportunities to achieve greater things in Fantasy.

Meanwhile, with three of Salah’s next six games yielding just two points, the Liverpool star is likely to compete with Palmer for the captaincy in their clashes with Southampton, Everton and Everton. at Fulham.
