Pre-season Friendly data: The impact of FPL players

If you’re anything like me, pre-season marks the start of your FPL research and you’re already getting excited by Gabriel Jesus scoring twice in a meaningless friendly at the start of his Arsenal career.

However, we all know those friendlies are far from meaningless for Fantasy managers as it’s the first chance we get to perform the famous “eye test”.

Can’t be bothered to trawl through the individual results to find out who is catching the eye ahead of the Premier League season? Don’t worry, we’ve done it for you!
