We're five gameweeks in, so is it time to rethink what we thought we knew about FPL Draft?
In this international break special, we dig into the numbers from the opening five gameweeks to find the players and teams every Fantasy Premier League Draft manager MUST reassess.
We look at:
⚽ The Premier League's underlying xG and xGC numbers
📊 The players dominating attacking involvement
🎯 Shots on target, chance creation and finishing efficiency
🛡️ The new DEFCON monsters emerging for Draft managers
📈 Players whose underlying numbers suggest more could be coming
📉 Early-season performances that may NOT be sustainable
👀 Plus some ridiculous stats you probably haven't seen
Five gameweeks isn't enough to tell us EVERYTHING, but it's enough to start spotting patterns and acting on them.
