GAME WEEK 26 CLEAN PROJECTIONS
Please note: the percentages come from our Review my team point projections (RMT).
SUMMARY
Arsenal clearly top the chart this week with a striking 71%. Playing twice obviously increases their potential to keep a clean sheet, but their numbers hold up even without that advantage. They continue to lead most underlying defensive metrics, and games against Brentford and Wolves give them every opportunity to extend that dominance.
Crystal Palace And Manchester city both amount to 43%. Palace take on 19th-placed Burnley, while City welcome Fulham, who are among the lowest scoring away sides in the league this season. Both defenses appear well-positioned not only for this round, but also as longer-term investments thanks to their favorable schedules.
Nottingham forest They don’t often appear this high in the rankings, but this week they break into the top four. Despite conceding in their last two games, recent clean sheets against Brentford and Arsenal provide encouragement ahead of their home clash with the division’s lowest scorers, Wolves.
Just outside the top four Chelseahost Leeds United. Leeds struggle for goals on the road, so even with Chelsea’s recent defensive inconsistencies, the advantage of the clean sheet remains clear.
Wolves are the only other team with two games this round. On paper that should boost their numbers, but a meeting with Arsenal limits their overall clean sheet projection and explains why they score lower than expected.
