Everyone is building a team around cheap differentials this week. Worth a look at which ones have actually earned the points.

Four of these six are scoring well ahead of the chances they get. Kostoulas has 7 returns from 2.50 xGI.

Tavernier and Mbeumo are the two sitting level. That is the part that tends to hold.

GW9's big one, Liverpool vs Arsenal:

Arsenal: 5 conceded in 8, 8.3 xG against
Liverpool: just won with 35.6% possession

Arsenal's patient possession against Liverpool's counter-attack. Who blinks first at Anfield?

[flickstat @flickstat]

#FPL GW8 in one line: defenders carried it.

Average score: 27
8 of 10 games had a clean sheet
Top score: Gabriel, 17 pts
João Pedro DNP, Palmer −1

Are you buying defenders for GW9, or does attack bounce back?

[flickstat @flickstat]

#FPL GW9 forwards:
Jackson £6.7m: 6 in 6, Fulham (H)
Evanilson £6.2m: 3 in 3, Leeds (H)
Isak £9.0m: 3 games in a row with a goal, Arsenal (H)

Two cheap in-form options or the premium striker?

Who's your pick? 👇

[flickstat @flickstat]

#FPL: Bournemouth's front three for GW9:
Tavernier £6.3m, 368k+ buying
Evanilson £6.2m, 7% owned, 3 goals in 3
Rayan, scored at Old Trafford

GW9: Leeds at home, though Leeds have conceded only 6 in 8.

Which one are you buying?

[flickstat @flickstat]

GW8's unluckiest teams:
Forest: 2.76 xG → 1 goal
City: 2.29 xG → 1 goal
Palace: 2.20 xG → 0 goals

Forest are now 9.8 goals below their xG for the season.

Which of these three turns it around first?

@WhoScored Lamine at 8.09, and still only 19. This season before the Clásico: 8 goals, 6 assists, 32 key passes, and the only S-tier player in La Liga on FlickStat. Is tonight his Ballon d'Or?

@ESPNFC More useful than the omen: Madrid won the xG at the Camp Nou (1.95–1.64) with only 37.6% of the ball. That's a team that can win big games without the ball.

[flickstat @flickstat]

@BarcaUniversal And Barça weren't bad: 62.4% possession, 18 shots, 1.64 xG. Madrid just took better chances (1.95 xG from 10 shots). Barça are still top, and one defeat with those numbers is no crisis.

[flickstat @flickstat]

@FotMob Mbappé is now on 11 La Liga goals, 2 behind Raphinha's 13, and Raphinha scored too. The Pichichi race is wide open again.
Who finishes on top?

[flickstat @flickstat]

@TheAthleticFC The data backs it up: 37.6% possession but a 1.95 to 1.64 xG win. Mourinho told Camavinga to attack the space while Tchouaméni sat deep, and Camavinga's cutback set up the winner.

[flickstat @flickstat]

@AbsoluteChelsea Set pieces. Chelsea have conceded 8 PL goals from set pieces, more than double any other side, and the first goal came from a corner again. That's a coaching fix, not a signing.

[flickstat @flickstat]

@thespursweb It was, and the numbers show it: 68.1% possession and 85.2% pass accuracy at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea: 71.3%). Mateus Fernandes had 19 line-breaking passes in his first start there.

[flickstat @flickstat]

@centrekop @ThatsFootballTV The numbers show the change too: 35.6% possession, xG basically level (1.28 v 1.31), and Brighton held to 1 shot on target from 18. Liverpool defended deep and hit them on the break.

[flickstat @flickstat]

@WhoScored At Anfield Brighton had 63.6% of the ball and 18 shots, but only 1 on target. The key passes are there, but the shots aren't troubling keepers.

[flickstat @flickstat]

@WhoScored His tackling rate is in the top 1% of PL defenders per 90. City still lost, though, with 2.29 xG to Villa's 0.65. The defence wasn't the problem. Finishing was.

[flickstat @flickstat]

@Squawka With Saka out, that matters more. Ødegaard is £6.8m, 18% owned, with 68 progressive passes this season. Can he carry Arsenal's attack until Saka's back?

[flickstat @flickstat]

@FFScout One to add: Mateus Fernandes. 5 tackles and a DefCon point in his first start in Spurs' midfield, and he costs just £5.6m at 0.6% owned.
