Three matches in, and the goalscoring charts already look interesting. Small sample, obviously, but early trends still matter for squad planning. Here is who has been finding the net and creating chances so far.
Top of the list
Bruno Fernandes leads with 27 points from 3G/1A/0CS across 270 minutes, backed by a form score of 9.0 and 3 bonus points. At £12.0m and owned by 47.3% of managers, he has started the season exactly how his price tag suggests he should.
Haaland sits second on 24 points, with 3 goals, a clean sheet contribution and a whopping 6 bonus points from his 270 minutes. His 71.2% selection is the highest of anyone in this list, and a form of 8.0 shows the underlying numbers back the ownership.
Isak rounds out the top three with 23 points from just 243 minutes, also on 3 goals and 1 clean sheet. His 19.1% ownership is notably low given a form of 7.7 and 5 bonus points, making him one of the more intriguing names at the top so far.
Strong contenders
Cherki has been electric in limited minutes, just 173, racking up 25 points via 2G/2A/1CS and a team-high 4 bonus among this group. His form of 8.3 is the best outside the top three.
Ødegaard (24 points, 2G/0A/2CS, 6 bonus) and Saka (22 points, 2G/0A/2CS, 4 bonus) have both benefited from Arsenal’s defensive solidity alongside their attacking returns, though Saka’s ownership of 11.3% looks low relative to his output.
Tavernier is the surprise of the four, 21 points and 6 bonus points from just 2 goals, at a rock-bottom 2.9% selection and £6.0m price tag.
Watch list
- Janelt: 21 points, 2G/0A/1CS, owned by just 1.2%, a name almost nobody has.
- Palmer: 21 points from 2G/1A, form of 7.0, 21.0% ownership.
- João Pedro: 21 points, 2G/2A, 72.0% selection, the most popular name in this bracket.
- Mbeumo: 21 points, 2G/1A, quietly consistent at 270 minutes played.
- Rogers: 19 points, 2G/1A, lowest bonus haul here at just 1.
Verdict
On the numbers so far, Bruno Fernandes is the standout, top of the pile on 27 points with the highest form score in the entire list at 9.0. For value, Isak at £9.0m with 23 points and a form of 7.7 looks the sharpest cost-to-output ratio among the front-runners. The sleeper pick is Janelt, 21 points and a clean sheet contribution at £5.0m with just 1.2% ownership, a name that could climb fast if the returns keep coming. Three games is not a verdict on anyone’s season, but these are the players setting the early pace.
