5. Fbref
Fbref is the one-stop-shop for all your statistical needs.
Instead of purchasing a subscription to access OPTA data, you can simply head to fbref.com and access in-depth data on every player and club from every season.
The data includes everything from performance statistics to underlying statistics and everything in between. We personally recommend using it to search for the FPL player you’re interested in, and check on their npxG+xA per 90.
This metric is the player’s expected goal involvements (goals + assists) but with penalty kicks removed. Comparing players npxG+xA per 90 is a great way to decide between two players you’re deliberating.
