Now that we have four weeks worth of data to play with, I'm bringing back some key stats to the weekly rankings. I may change the specific stats up week to week, and I'm also looking into the best way to include opponent-conceded stats while not making the table below 100 columns wide. This week I've included four fairly simple ones for outfield players: shots, shots on goal, chances created and big chances created. As we all know, not every shot is equal, nor is every chance, so I think it's important to see who has gotten the most out of their opportunities. These are all compiled from our Player Stats page, a resource that recently expanded to include more stats applicable to fantasy formats beyond the Premier League's official game.
