Player to Target: João Cancelo

Cancelo has been very unfortunate so far to not get any attacking returns this year having had an xGi (expected goal involvement) of 1.37. It proves that he is super attacking and is getting into the right positions. Manchester City has the best defense in the league according to the xGC data (expected goals conceded) 1.35 in 3 games.

Player to Avoid: Harvey Barnes

Harvey Barnes has deceived us this year with zero attacking returns and has only accumulated an xG of 0.17 so far in 3 games. This is poor by his FPL standards and facing the best defense in the league I would avoid buying Harvey Barnes by all means.
