  1. I am seeing a lack of Maehle in teams, is that due to his price or other options, because he was great at the last euros and I think Slovenia is a great fixture, thoughts?

  2. I think people tend to overrate Dimarco when looking at his club numbers, which are the main reason I see him picked up in most videos about drafts. Remember to separate the performance one does in for his club and for his national team – coaches are different have different ideas on how to get the best out of him. The Italian national is nowhere near as good offensively as Inter Milan's, so he's going to be way less productive.

  3. Rice for England, is he worth considering? Being Scottish i haven't watched too much of England 😂 and not sure how attacking his role is?

  4. Draft looks good man defence is the same as mine but I've Theo Hernandez
    Thoughts on my team? I'm on LL3 WC QF
    Pickford Lunin
    Mittelstadt T.Hernandez DiMarco Faes Castange
    Wirtz Gundogan Rodri Xhaka Bruno
    Mbappe Kane Lukaku

  5. The 40% of international goals coming from set pieces is a cool stat but context is important because about 35% of prem goals come from set pieces. That's only a 5% difference so not sure why you would put so much weight on it when making your decisions

  6. 0:53 This is false logic, teams will NOT average 1 penalty per 3 games:
    (I'm a stats nerd so I will give the you exact chance below🔽)

    Assuming 1 in 3 games has a penalty in it, a team would expect to find themselves in 1 game that has a penalty in it, but 50% of the time this goes to the opponent, making the chance of a group stage penalty far less:

    There will be 1 penalty in your 3 matches 44% of the time
    There will be 2 penalties in your 3 matches 22% of the time
    There will be 3(+) penalties in your 3 matches 4% of the time

    However…

    In terms of how likely YOUR TEAM is to take them:
    You will take just 1 penalty in the group stage 34.5% of the time
    You will take 2 penalties in the group stage 7% of the time
    You will take 3(+) penalties in the group stage <1% of the time

    Then remember forwards get 4 per pen scored and -2 per miss
    Midfielders get 5 per pen scored and -2 per miss
    0.8 penalties get scored

    So the expected points gain for a forward per penalty is +2.8 points
    And the expected points gain for a midfielder per penalty is +3.6 points

    Things look slightly more bleak, so tread with caution on the penalty taker front. Pick players who shine on the outfield goal-threat front. However, if you do back penalty-takers, because they're a safe fpl option (less variance, more 'guaranteed' points) make sure they bang them in 90% of the time and it helps if they're a midfielder not a forward.

    Hope that was useful, boy I do love stats.

  7. Seeing Calhanoglu in quite a lot of drafts. I get that he is a talisman and got a nice first fixture, but keep in mind he played 7 matches in qualifiers without a single goal involvement.
