What do you mean by 0.23 xG and 0.5 goals per 90?

Dennis's underlying stats are very purple patch esque.

2.4 shots, 0.23 xG and 0.5 goals per 90. It doesn't added up. Just on a hot streak and not sustainable. Saying that, I'm glad to be on at the moment. Strike while the iron is hot. He may go cold around the time the AFCON and not recover.

I’ve been watching them closely the last few weeks. I went with Dennis a few weeks back purely because of the eye test - I knew King from previous seasons too

I was always Dennis over King as a result

People kept throwing up the underlying stats & sometimes that is misleading.

GW9 was the week he got the hat trick v Everton. He has 2 goals since then. 1 penalty.

Has the GW9 stats obscured the number some what??? That that week out & how does it look

The pens was my main reason. But Brentford aren't really sending the tackles in. If any thing it has been Watford doing that.

Yes.... Any of the FPL Twitter guys were all King due to the stats; xG 4.5 v 1.6, BC's 9 vs 2, shots 21 v 11 are just a few and penalties...... King's xG is best in league since GW9! Stats sell it very good like in fairness.

I just realised Raineri is 70. It must be the olive oil that keeps him going. A very young 70.

Same here but Dennis is passing the eye test. Bloody stats!

They don't look right at all. Maybe it is Toney he was the 'out ball'.

There was a reason why I went with King instead of Dennis but I don't recall what it was atm :-(

Possibly something to do with underlying stats and penalties

Canos is missing too, he's been decent for them

Dennis down injured....

Brentford looking very passive. Are they missing more than Toney?

shmeee

Everyone around me in ML's have Dennis. Ownership just shy of 30%! That's big for a player who has only "broke" in recently so all nearly active teams.

It’s the style they play under Ranieri & the players they have which make them appealing along with there price.

they are all action & mad for goals

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118302967#Comment_118302967

4 goals & 3 assists in 5 games!

City, United & Chelsea in those.

I think he is fixture proof.

Feels like Brentford could be playing until next week and still won't get a goal. Even though Watford are not very defensively sound at the best of times.

What seems to be happening time and again - Brentford bomb forward lose the ball and Watford go on a dangerous counter.

I think there is/was but I feel I have missed the boat on Dennis at this stage. Only two nice fixtures after this and could be going to the ACON.

Yes Dennis!!!

Just seen a main rival who is 3k OR just whipped out a Wildie & has a savage team!!

Atta boy Dennis, great start to the GW

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118302945#Comment_118302945

Is there a case to be made for having both? Striker options aren't exactly great.

Dennis the menace

Dennis!

-4 covered already

I was just about to say Dennis is a fantastic little player - after he trapped a high ball. Then the fecker gets that great header. Naturally I have King!

[Deleted User]

Allison. Just noticed he only started GW13, which might explain why his team doesn't look nearly as bad as overall ranking.

Swings and roundabouts right there in the 50/50 call of picking King or Dennis....

I'm in the Dennis camp. But Brentford GK so at least CS gone good and early!

King hit the post before that.

Dennis goal
