@FPLReaction' first FPL draft

Which players are due a goal in Gameweek 27?

Last modified date

Picking out the players that look likely to score in an FPL gameweek is a big part of management. Using recent underlying stats from the Fantasy Football Scout, we assess which players are due a goal in Gameweek 27.

Recent FPL goals

Some attackers are in great form over their last four matches:

However, others are shooting and getting in the right places without having either luck or end product. So let’s look at the players who have met the following criteria over their last four league appearances:

  • No more than one goal
  • At least ten shots
  • At least two big chances
  • An expected goals (xG) tally of 1.20
  • An expected goal involvement (xGI) of 1.40

Due a goal in Gameweek 27

With Brentford v Fulham to come later tonight, both Ivan Toney and Aleksandar Mitrovic have a chance to remove themselves from the list.

The former has complicated FPL popularity right now, being the week’s most-bought player despite an imminent FA hearing and likely ban. However, in the meantime, he has a match during Blank Gameweek 28 that’s surrounded by two doubles.

Ranked by xG

Of last week’s names, both Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister netted at the weekend. The Brighton midfielder also picked up an assist, with seven penalty area touches and a 1.54 xGI. It’s a brilliant rate heading into the enticing double-header versus Leeds and Crystal Palace.

Neither Eddie Nketiah nor Fabian Schar participated in proceedings due to injury, whilst Neal Maupay was restricted to a one-minute cameo.

Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard is there because of an extraordinary 11 shots during Arsenal’s dramatic 3-2 win over Bournemouth. All of them missed but substitute Reiss Nelson eventually came through and rescued the Gunners.
