As you might have noticed, we have recently added some new stats into our Members Area<\/a>, one of which is \u2018Chance Involvement\u2019.<\/p>\n

The stat is explained here<\/a>, but essentially, it tells us how important a player is to their team\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

This is determined by calculating the percentage of their team\u2019s chances a player has either created or attempted themselves while on the pitch.<\/p>\n

It can be found under \u2018Chances\u2019 in the \u2018Involvement\u2019 tabs<\/a> in \u2018Player Stats\u2019<\/a>, as below.<\/p>\n

\"\"WHO ARE THE LEADING PLAYERS FOR \u2018CHANCE INVOLVEMENT\u2019 IN 2025\/26?<\/p>\n

Prior to looking at each club individually, here are the top 25 players.<\/p>\n

We have excluded those who have played for less than 180 minutes this season.<\/p>\n

\"\"ERLING HAALAND\"FPL<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland (\u00a314.5m) is predictably at the top of this list.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian has already produced 10 attacking returns, averaging 10.0 points per start, having either attempted or created 42.3% of Manchester City\u2019s chances while on the pitch.<\/p>\n

The fact that none of Haaland\u2019s nine goals this season have been penalties makes it even more impressive.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Liverpool\u2019s Mohamed Salah (\u00a314.4m) is significantly lower (23.3%), as captured in this list of \u00a39.0m+ players:<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon (\u00a37.4m) has not managed to score in his last 16 Premier League appearances; however, his chance involvement at Newcastle United is significant.<\/p>\n

This season, he averages a shot every 22.5 minutes, although it is important to note that seven of his 12 total attempts arrived in one match (away at Aston Villa in Gameweek 1).<\/p>\n

But a chance involvement rate of 40.5% is still considerable, indicating that Gordon could be an effective differential for Newcastle\u2019s upcoming run of fixtures.<\/p>\n

\"\"SEAN LONGSTAFF\/ANTON STACH\"The<\/p>\n

Leeds United\u2019s Sean Longstaff (\u00a34.9m) and Anton Stach (\u00a35.0m) are both included, yet the trajectories of these two midfielders are in stark contrast to one another.<\/p>\n

Stach has recently lost set-piece duties to Longstaff, which has contributed towards the latter surpassing him in terms of chance involvement.<\/p>\n

Indeed, over the last three Gameweeks (small sample size alert!), Stach has registered just two shots and three chances created.<\/p>\n

Conversely, Longstaff has combined seven shots with 12 chances created over the same period, being directly involved in 46.3% of Leeds\u2019 chances.<\/p>\n
