Anyone under 3.5 points

Fantasy Premier League FPL Interesting Player Stats
Need some extra stats to help you make that right decision?
Here are eight of our favourite from the Opta data.
Some points of interest before following on…
- Pukki is your man for Shots on Target, with all shots inside the box not coming from inside the six yard box.
- Callum Wilson is the player for Shots on Target accuracy. Haller is the last player whose accuracy is 50% or better.
- Aguero leads xG and minutes per goal.
- Tammy Abraham is the best all round performer in the first four attacking graphs. And Chelsea have a nice easy run coming up.
- Luka Milivojević leads the way for successful crosses. Ahead of obvious candidates.
- Mahrez shows up very well, but Pep be trusted to play him?
FPL Points per Million (Cost)
For something new, we wanted to look at which players are outperforming their cost, so we simply took the total points scored thus far in 19/20 and divided by their cost.
This will give you a quick guide of who is over-performing. No surprise Pukki and Ashley Barnes are at the top. Followed by a range of promoted team players. Note that KDB is one premium players to make the list after his injury hit 18-19 season.
