Pitchline rankings & player stats

Exp. pts

Expected points from Pitchline — recent form, minutes, expected involvements, and home/away. Shown when available.

Pitchline

Pitchline’s own ranking score for the next 5 fixtures. It blends form, expected involvement, value for money, and fixture difficulty — then flags availability risks.

Form

Fantasy’s form rating based on points in recent weeks. Higher usually means they’re hot.

xGI

Expected goal involvements — how many goals and assists the underlying chances suggest, not just what finished.

xG

Expected goals from Fantasy’s public season total — the quality of shooting chances, not finishes.

xA

Expected assists from Fantasy’s public season total — chance quality of key passes, not completed assists.

xG/90

Season expected goals scaled to a full 90 minutes so you can compare players with different minutes.

xA/90

Season expected assists scaled to a full 90 minutes so you can compare players with different minutes.

Goals vs xG

Finishing luck: actual goals minus Fantasy expected goals. Hot streaks and cold streaks both show here.

Assists vs xA

Creation luck: actual assists minus Fantasy expected assists.

Owned %

Ownership percentage — how widely held the player is across Fantasy. Low Owned % means fewer rivals have them.

£

The player’s current Fantasy Premier League price, in millions of pounds.

Why

On a player page, flagged stat cards (colour + icon) show which numbers are lifting or dragging the Pitchline score — form, expected involvements, ownership, fixtures/outlook, Pitchline score, and expected points when available.

Prices & ownership

%

Official Fantasy price progress. Positive leans toward a rise; negative toward a fall. Over ±100% usually means a change is expected at the next midnight UK update (late transfers can reverse it).

Status

Pitchline’s plain-English reading of Fantasy’s price progress — e.g. very likely to rise/fall, or transfer heat only.
