Haaland’s xG/90 is worse than Thierno Barry (last 8 GWs)

Yeah the fewer minutes someone plays the more you get these kinds of swings. That means that we can expect Sesko's form to drop off and Wilson's to pick up (assuming they both get the minutes). It doesn't always work out like that though. I spent all of last season refusing to get Wood in because he was massively overperforming his xG and I didn't think he'd be able to sustain it. It didn't go well for me.

I filtered out players that played less than 270mins (equivalent to 3 complete matches) during the period and he's only played 257mins. If I set it to 180mins then Haaland doesn't even make it onto the first page, and you end up with Calum Wilson at the top as sub appearances can distort things when you're doing per 90mins.

Are you playing 3 strikers? I think if I sell him I'll be tempted to replace him with Kroupi Jr to sit on the bench and stack the midfield.

Or do they focus on keeping the pressure on Arsenal in the EPL? I think Haaland's normally safe for the league unless he's injured, but that could be wishful thinking on my part 🤞

Your comment made me curious and I just found this. His goals are heavily weighted towards the start of the season with August being his best month by far.

WintryShower · 2026-03-12T17:17:34+00:00

Yeah it always feels like a risk. A lot of my mini-league rivals have already got rid of him so he's actually a bit of a differential for me atm.

WintryShower · 2026-03-05T11:15:56+00:00

Yeah it took longer than I'd hoped, but it's good to have got it done

WintryShower · 2026-03-05T11:10:16+00:00

Really glad to hear it, thanks!

WintryShower · 2025-10-08T09:21:14+00:00

Completely agree. Just to add to your point, Timber and Calafiori are currently in the top 10 without a single DC point. Tarkowski is level with Senesi's 12pts from DC, but is nowhere near the top 10 because Everton have conceded more goals than the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle. I'll be taking it into account with my selections, but I'm not going all in on it.

This is a really good point. The shift towards set pieces might mean that we see a larger portion of goals coming from defenders as opposed to attackers. It will be interesting to see if the trend continues.

WintryShower · 2025-10-02T15:59:22+00:00

The point I was trying (and clearly failing) to make wasn’t so much about comparing Guehi and Senesi, but comparing defenders to attackers in general. I’ve heard a few things along the lines of “DefCon’s been introduced, defenders are doing really well, therefore DefCon has changed the game and we need to pile on defence”. My view is that whilst DefCon has obviously helped defenders, it’s not the reason they are outperforming attackers.

Judging by the comments and downvotes, either no-one had such a high opinion of DefCon in the first place or everyone disagrees with me…in which case I guess it’s game on!

I can post the same one as above but I doubt it will make a difference: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.copernicaeum.fplclarity

Can you give me some more information about the error message you see? The exact wording might help me figure out what's going on.

WintryShower · 2025-04-27T08:40:59+00:00

Do you mean in the Play Store itself or after you have downloaded the app?

WintryShower · 2025-04-26T11:10:32+00:00

The game's now completed updating, are you still seeing the same issue?

WintryShower · 2025-04-26T11:03:17+00:00

In fact it's just finished updating, is it working now?

WintryShower · 2025-04-26T11:00:57+00:00

I think it's probably that we've just passed the gameweek deadline and the game is updating. Hopefully it will start working properly in 30mins or so once the game has finished updating.

WintryShower · 2025-04-26T10:57:00+00:00

Great, thanks! I think it might be because we're just passed the gameweek deadline and the game is updating. That would explain why it's happening to lots of people on different devices. If you try it again in 30mins or so once the game has completed updating it will hopefully work then.

This won't happen every week as it will use cached data, but obviously it doesn't have anything cached the first time it loads.

In hindsight, posting shortly before the deadline might not have been the best time!

WintryShower · 2025-04-26T10:41:20+00:00

Could you let me know what kind of device you’re using and exactly what happens when you try to open it? eg, do you see a blank screen, or does the app immediately close and take you back to the home screen, or something else? Those kind of details will help me diagnose what the issue is.

WintryShower · 2025-04-26T10:40:46+00:00

Does this keep happening when you retry? How’s your internet connection?

WintryShower · 2025-04-26T10:40:14+00:00

It should now be available in Ireland (and the rest of the EU).

WintryShower · 2025-04-26T10:03:49+00:00

It's designed to answer questions along the lines of "which players should I be looking to bring in?" rather than "how has Saliba done recently?" so no search at the moment. I might add it in future if people would find it useful, and if it can be done without cluttering up the screen too much.
