Fantasy Premier League: Saturday Cheat Sheet

This article is part of our Daily Fantasy Soccer Cheat Sheet series.

We have recently partnered with Opta to provide our subscribers with additional stats for a number of different soccer leagues. We'll have new fantasy tools rolling out in the next few weeks and months, but for now we're expanding our weekly Premier League cheat sheet.

This is a work in progress, so if there are any other stats you'd like to see, please leave a comment below and we'll see if we can add them.

ODDS REPORT

CORNER TRACKER

The below spreadsheet shows each player who has taken a corner for the teams playing Saturday, broken down by team and week, with high-volume corners highlighted. Please note the numbers represent total corners for each game, not total crosses (you can find that further down), and is sorted by team.

CROSS CHECK

As covered here, corners don't always guarantee a high number of crosses, and there are plenty of players who cross a lot who don't take corners. Similar to the table above, here are the top crossers and their performances week to week (the cross numbers include corners and are sorted by number of crosses and not team):

SHOTS

TEAM STATS

There are also a number of relevant team stats to review, as well as seeing how many of each category a team allows. For example, not only is it important to know which teams take the most shots, it's also helpful to see which ones have allowed the most. The colors are used to help show the rank for each stat, with dark green showing the highest in each category and dark red showing the fewest.
