Where do players' points come from in Fantrax Default Scoring?
A #DraftPL Thread:
Let's start with all Outfielders.

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.

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!
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 🎉
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.

Surely this is nonsense @FootballCliches. Pope was standing off his line; nowhere close to “in net”.
Raz sends a dipping free-kick over the wall, leaving Pope stranded in net. 🎯
⚫️ 1-1 🔵 [23] #NewChe
Suggesting this could be a ‘moral victory’ for Spurs is surely a new low for the media’s 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:

📈 Premier League Trends: 2017/18 to 2023/24📉
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.
🧵A #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.
