Toney has 15 goals and 3 assists this season, takes penalties, has decent underlying stats & is the talisman for his team, so it’s no surprise that he’s a standout captaincy option in a DGW with games against Everton and Southampton.
Compared to Brighton midfielders though, Toney obviously gets 1 point less per goal and no clean sheet point, which should be factored in. Despite that, he’s of course a great option this week, with 2 games in which he could easily end up scoring 2-3 goals in total.
Fantasypaedia contributor @FPL_Architect is back with his weekly thread!
In this thread, he will be focusing on some players who are getting overlooked because of blanks & doubles and have a decent run of fixtures from GW26 to GW28.
We’re awaiting a definite fitness update on Maddison, but it looks likely that he’ll be ready in time for GW 26, and if so he becomes a great pick. He’s only owned by 4.5% and with great fixtures coming up...
…he’s a decent differential. Good fixtures in GW 26-27, plays in GW 28, and has a DGW in GW 29 as well. Maddison averages an attacking return every 97 mins this season, and he has haul potential in any game. Could see him outscoring Arsenal or even Brighton mids going forward.
Haaland has been one of the deadliest strikers in the world for the last few years, outperforming his xG every single season in the Bundesliga with Dortmund, as this image from Understat reflects –
Haaland is among the top forwards for most attacking metrics in the last year, as can be seen from the comparison table taken from FBRef.
Note the high number of shots taken p90, as well as touches in the penalty area – he is a high-volume shooter and gets on the end of moves.
