Moisés Caicedo: why the Ecuadorian midfielder suddenly became a goalscorer.

According to The Sun: GAMEWEEK 7 turned out to be short but eventful.

Popular midfielder Antoine Semenyo (£4.9m) was the best player of this round, but now it’s worth delving into the statistics, facts, and trends that might have slipped your notice during a busy weekend.

Dream TeamBIG points in every sense of the word

Keep it clean

Newcastle beat Nottingham 2-0 on Sunday, achieving their fourth 'clean' sheet.

The team has prevented opponents from scoring six times across all competitions, and Dan Burn (£4.3m) is the only defender who has been involved in all these achievements.

This tall left-back is one of two players in his position who has recorded six 'clean' sheets at this stage, the other being Gabriel (£5.1m).

Also, Nick Pope (£4.3m) and David Raya (£4.8m) are the only goalkeepers with six 'clean' sheets.

Burn assisted Bruno Guimarães (£5.1m) for the first goal against Nottingham, helping him secure his first 'double-digit' points of the season.

Double trouble

GettyVillains’ hero

Can Donyell Malen (£2.3m) be the one to lift Aston Villa up the table?

The 26-year-old Dutchman started the game in attack alongside Ollie Watkins (£4.7m) against Burnley and scored a winning brace.

He was the top forward in GAMEWEEK 7 and could be a surprising option (ownership 0.6%) in GAMEWEEK 8 when the Villains face Tottenham and Go Ahead Eagles.

In terms of key moments in this game, Lucas Digne (£3.8m) completed seven accurate passes, earning him three bonus points.

That’s quite a lot for a defender; only four players in this position have achieved double-digit scores this season.

Shiver Me Timber!

GettyChasing Haaland

Erling Haaland (£7.9m) is undoubtedly the star of this season, but who could have predicted that Jurriën Timber (£5m) would be the best of the rest before the October break?

The Arsenal number 12 has already earned 79 points with an average of 8.8 per game.

While we expect a fair number of 'clean' sheets from the Gunners, Timber is truly impressive: two goals, two assists, and 31 tackles – only one player has made more tackles.

This Dutchman brought in 15 points in the game against West Ham, making the most tackles (six) of either team.

Interestingly, Riccardo Calafiori (£4.1m) is the most selected Arsenal defender, but the Italian international is currently 21 points behind Timber.

It’s quite possible Timber will surpass his teammate by the GAMEWEEK 8 deadline.

Normal service resumed

GettyScoring streak

Daniel Muñoz (£5.6m) has allowed other Crystal Palace defenders to take center stage in August and September, but with the onset of October, he has impressed everyone again with his superb form.

The Eagles suffered their first defeat in a long time when Jack Grealish (£3.8m) scored in stoppage time on Sunday, but the 10-point comeback by the Colombian left-back allowed him to climb to second in the defender rankings.

Muñoz leads in goals, shots creating chances, and big chances created in-game.

This is a sentence we’ve written many times last season, and it seems we’ll have to do the same in the coming months.

Despite the high price tag, Muñoz's ownership at 5.8% simply does not match his class.

Don’t let that deter you; he is an elite asset.

Don’t be afraid!

Fists of rageGetty

Even though Gianluigi Donnarumma (£3.7m) joined the dream team only in September, he has already topped the ratings for successful saves.

The Manchester City first-choice keeper uses his impressive size to dominate his area, which could help in accumulating bonus points in the future.

Donnarumma has made several important saves since his arrival, but it’s worth noting that he averages only 1.3 saves per match.

Yet, his owners are hoping for great achievements after the break when City plays six matches within three rounds.

Despite high expectations around these players, it’s important to remember that the season has not only hit its average flow but continues to evolve. Teams are adapting, players are revealing their strengths, and soon we may witness new stars stepping up in the coming rounds. Overall, the action-packed matches promise even more exciting moments ahead.
