Where do players' points come from in Fantrax Default Scoring?
A #DraftPL Thread:
Let's start with all Outfielders.
Key Passes (worth 2 points) rule the roost; they are twice as valuable as all categories except goals, aerials, and tackles won.

GW17 was the first gameweek this season where goalkeepers were the top position in #DraftPL.
It was also the first time this season that defenders averaged over 7 PPS, thanks to a season high eight clean sheets.
Don't expect it to last!
An update on how the frequency of Fantrax Default Scoring categories have changed over time.
Firstly, here's the change since last season.
Data from Opta via FBRef. Crosses ('C') replace the unavailable ACNCs.
#DraftPL
The Premier League has never seen anything like the current goal rate.

Great to finally see an article on this. It's not just the Premier League!

Premier League games have averaged 3.16 goals per game this season so far, the highest average in an English top-flight season since 1964-65.
@alitweedale looks at the data to see if 2023-24 can smash records.
Huge GW for Unwanted Records stalwarts.

Enzo has been a mainstay in Unwanted Records since GW3. Finally off the mark in the premier league.

Surely this is nonsense @FootballCliches. Pope was standing off his line; nowhere close to โin netโ.
Raz sends a dipping free-kick over the wall, leaving Pope stranded in net. ๐ฏ

Suggesting this could be a โmoral victoryโ for Spurs is surely a new low for the mediaโs Postecoglu infatuation.
Thankfully Crafton was a voice of reason.
Perhaps Tottenham were the REAL winners despite last nights match against Chelsea?
join me @AdamCrafton_ @CDEccleshare & @liam_twomey as we try find any logic from yesterdays Monday Madness:

Goals per game showing no signs of slowing down.
1.67 goals per team from todayโs matches so far.
Replying to @drafterthoughts
Let's start with the most important stat.
Teams are scoring more goals than in previous seasons, but the xG average (1.52) suggests this could be even higher.
๐ Premier League Trends: 2017/18 to 2023/24๐
With 10 GWs gone, we can look at the stylistic trends in the Premier League using Opta data going back to 2017.
All stats are per 90 per team, unless stated otherwise.
๐งตA #DraftPL thread:
Strikers (9.0) at least have the most important category as their largest source of FPts, but the fact they (and all other positions) get double the amount of points from key passes than they do from assists is hard to justify.
