All your FPL stats and Premier League team news in one place

Malick Thiaw (£5.0m) has been arguably the standout member of Newcastle's back-line since he arrived at the club, as evidenced by his 22 defensive contributions in the recent Wear-Tyne derby loss to Sunderland. A brace against Everton a few weeks ago highlights his threat at the other end.

Last weekend Cole Palmer (£10.3m) netted his first goal since September as the Chelsea star continues his comeback from a month-long injury lay-off. He's never scored away at Gameweek 17 opponents Newcastle, but Palmer does have two goals and an assist in his last three matches against the Magpies in the Premier League.

Forward Alejandro Garnacho (£6.4m) hasn't scored for the Blues in the Premier League since Gameweek 10, but in the last two Gameweeks, he has been his team's leader for shots (six) and Opta-defined 'big chances' (three).

Over the last four Gameweeks, Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo's (£7.5m) total of 11 shots in the box is the second-highest among midfielders.

Lesley Ugochukwu (£5.0m) managed a game-high four shots for Burnley against Fulham last weekend, putting three on target and scoring one. That's a fourth attacking return for the budget-friendly FPL midfielder in 10 appearances.

Delivering on some decent underlying data as one of FPL's most creative defenders, Clarets full-back Quilindschy Hartman (£4.0m) registered his fifth assist of the campaign last time out.

Yankuba Minteh (£6.1m) was unlucky not to add to his league-leading tally of seven Premier League assists last weekend, having created a big chance. The Brighton winger also fired off three shots of his own at Anfield.

FPL's highest-scoring goalkeeper, Robin Roefs (£4.8m), has helped Sunderland maintain an unbeaten home record, mostly recently with his fifth shut-out of the campaign and three bonus points in Gameweek 16. The Black Cats have struggled more on the road, so Roefs' shot-stopping - he's second top in the division for saves this season - could prove crucial at the Amex Stadium.

Half of Sunderland's away goals scored have come from set-plays, and Dan Ballard (£4.6m) is frequently a threat from those; the centre-back leads the league for headed attempts (11).

Manchester City midfielder Rayan Cherki (£6.5m) has more Premier League assists (seven) to his name than he does starts (six) this season. All of those assists - a joint-top number among all FPL players - have come within the last seven Gameweeks, of which he has started five.

Few players in the Premier League are enjoying as good form as City play-maker Phil Foden (£8.8m), whose six goals in the last four Gameweeks is a league-leading mark; so too are his five big chances, while only one player can better his 19 shots in the last six Gameweeks.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen (£7.5m) has three attacking returns (two goals and an assist) in his last three matches and remains one of the division's leading shot-takers (18) over the last six Gameweeks.

Wolves substitute Tolu Arokodare (£5.4m) did well to flick in a late headed equaliser that nearly rescued his side a shock point at Arsenal last weekend. The Nigerian forward has racked up 10 shots this season, only five fewer than first-choice centre-forward Jorgen Strand-Larsen (£6.2m), despite playing over 700 fewer minutes.

Across the 2025-26 season, only Chelsea's Marc Cucurella (£6.2m) has created more chances than the 18 crafted by Brentford full-back Michael Kayode (£4.5m) among FPL defenders.

Kevin Schade's (£7.0m) 20 shots and 15 chances created both rank among Brentford's top three players this season.

Midfielder Mohammed Kudus (£6.4m) is responsible for about a quarter of the chances Spurs have created in the Premier League this season, and over a third of the team's total FPL goal returns when he's been on the pitch.

Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike (£8.6m) is the top-scoring Premier League player in the last fortnight with four goals in the last two Gameweeks.

Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz (£8.0m), meanwhile, is producing more consistently; he has created nine chances in the last four Gameweeks - only three Premier League players have more to their name in that time - and earned a first batch of defensive contribution points in Gameweek 16.

In last weekend's loss at Chelsea, Everton defender Michael Keane (£4.6m) missed out on defensive contribution points for only the second time in his last six appearances.

FPL's most expensive defender, Arsenal's Jurrien Timber (£6.5m), remains a solid asset for several reasons: Gameweek 17 opponents Everton are among the league's lowest scorers; his gametime is boosted by positional rival Ben White's (£5.4m) latest injury; and the Dutchman also carries plenty of attacking threat.

There was belated joy for Bukayo Saka's (£10.3m) FPL owners in Gameweek 16, with the Arsenal star being awarded a pair of assists. He's created 13 chances across the last six Gameweeks - including five 'big chances', the most of any Premier League player in that time.

Propelling Leeds' turn in form since switching to a 3-5-2 formation, Dominic Calvert-Lewin's (£5.7m) four goals in the last four Gameweeks have come from four big chances - the joint-most of any FPL forward over that period.

Anton Stach (£4.8m) is among the Premier League's leading players for combined chances created and shots (he had six of the latter alone last weekend) over the last four Gameweeks, despite only appearing in three of those games. During that time, the Leeds midfielder racked up a goal and two assists.

Yeremy Pino (£5.8m) leads his Crystal Palace team-mates for shots (six), shots in the box (five), chances created (five) and big chances created (two) over the last two Gameweeks. The Spain international hit the bar against Manchester City last time out, and could pick up even more of the slack going forward with attacking colleague Ismaila Sarr (£6.4m) now absent due to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Aston Villa number 10 Morgan Rogers (£7.0m) registered his seventh and eighth attacking returns of the Premier League season last time out with a second brace in five matches.

Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha (£7.9m) has attempted 16 shots in the last two Gameweeks, at least four more than any other Premier League player.

United captain Bruno Fernandes (£9.3m) has 17 bonus points so far this season, a tally that no other FPL midfielder can better in 2025-26.

Where else to start with Fulham but Harry Wilson (£5.6m), whose three goals and three assists in his last four Premier League games make him the best value pick in FPL on current form. The Welshman has two double-digit point hauls in that time.

Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.7m) came up trumps to help his side beat Spurs last time out with two goals and an assist.

Forest forward Igor Jesus (£5.8m) has racked up 20 shots (all from inside the penalty box) during the last six Gameweeks, the second-most of any Premier League player.
