<h2>Gameweek 36 review</h2>
<p>I went rogue on captaincy this week with <strong>Nicolas Jackson (£6.9m)</strong>.He paid me back handsomely, with a 16 point haul doubling to 32 points!</p>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland (£14.1m) </strong>overshadowed him though, with a four-goal, 21 point performance. Absolutely gutting.</p>
<p>I still ended up with a green arrow on 99 points but I am 58 points away from my basic target every season which is to finish inside the top 100k.</p>
<p>I need to get very lucky between now and the end of the season to claw that deficit back. Hopefully the Bench Boost can help a bit but it does seem unlikely.</p>

<h2>Using FPL Points as a Metric: The data</h2>
<h3>Goalkeepers</h3>
<div id="attachment_64398" style="width: 838px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-64398" class="wp-image-64398 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-09-at-12.06.51.jpg" alt="" width="828" height="336" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-64398" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points data - goalkeepers</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fulham, Sheffield United, Manchester United, Brighton and Everton are conceding the most FPL points to opposition goalkeepers.</p>
<p>Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham, Aston Villa and Everton are the teams scoring the most FPL points in this position.</p>
<p><strong>Nick Pope (£5.3m) </strong>was back in the squad for the Burnley game, so <strong>Martin Dubravka (£4.3m) </strong>is a no-go now. I assume most people will just be sticking with their goalkeepers otherwise.</p>
<h3>Defenders</h3>
<div id="attachment_64400" style="width: 837px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-64400" class="wp-image-64400 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-09-at-12.09.41.jpg" alt="" width="827" height="339" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-64400" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points data - defenders</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Brentford, Sheffield United, Fulham, Burnley and Everton are conceding the most FPL points to opposition defenders.</p>
<p>Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, Manchester City and Everton are the teams scoring the most FPL points in the defender position.</p>
<p>I need a replacement for <strong>Harry Maguire (£4.3m) </strong>after he was ruled out for three weeks through injury. Being on Bench Boost makes me look at Brighton or Chelsea defenders. I only have £0.3m in the bank and only really need a player for this week.</p>
<p>As money is tight, I might even have to go for an Everton defender, given they play Sheffield United, and skip the double completely.</p>
<h3>Midfielders</h3>
<div id="attachment_64404" style="width: 835px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-64404" class="wp-image-64404 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-09-at-12.10.56.jpg" alt="" width="825" height="334" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-64404" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points data - midfielders</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Luton, Brentford, Burnley, Sheffield United and Bournemouth have conceded the most FPL points to opposition midfielders so far.</p>
<p>Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and City are the teams scoring the most midfielder FPL points.</p>
<p><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m) </strong>missed the first game of his club career through injury on Monday night. With no news on him yet, I may also need to move him on.</p>
<p>I have one Chelsea spot, so I could move to <strong>Noni Madueke (£5.3m)</strong>, who has two goals and two assists in his last three games, or I could move to <strong>Alejandro</strong> <strong>Garnacho (£5.0m)</strong>. United are not looking good right now though.</p>
<p>I could also move to <strong>Pascal Gross (£6.1m)</strong> but Brighton have been a mixed bag as well.</p>
<p>I will wait for news before deciding, but I'm not against a punt due to chasing.</p>
<h3>Forwards</h3>
<div id="attachment_64405" style="width: 828px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-64405" class="wp-image-64405 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-09-at-12.12.25.jpg" alt="" width="818" height="337" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-64405" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points data - forwards</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>West Ham, Luton, Nottingham Forest, Burnley, and Sheffield United are conceding the most FPL points to opposition forwards so far.</p>
<p>City, Bournemouth, Luton, Burnley and Aston Villa are the teams scoring the most FPL points in the forward position.</p>
<p><strong>Alexander Isak (£8.4m) </strong>has got off to a good start for the team and I'd back him to continue in pursuit of the Golden Boot. <strong>Callum Wilson (£7.8m) </strong>does complicate things a bit and with Isak missing a penalty against Burnley, we might see Wilson take over. spot-kick duties</p>
<p>I'm happy with my forwards this week.</p>
<h3>Points per game game</h3>
<p>I use this to check out specific fixtures. It helps with captaincy and double gameweeks.</p>
<div id="attachment_64406" style="width: 758px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-64406" class="wp-image-64406 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-09-at-12.12.36.jpg" alt="" width="748" height="715" /></p>
