Granit Xhaka — FPL stats
Sunderland · midfielder · £5.1m · owned by 3.2% of managers
What Xhaka's numbers actually say
He got 6 assists from chances he created worth about 3.7 last season. An assist needs somebody else to score, so a gap that size is usually about who was on the end of it rather than anything he changed.
32 starts in 38 gameweeks (2,901 minutes), with 32 appearances of an hour or more. He is in the side more often than not, but not the sort of pick you can leave alone all season.
He hit the defensive-contribution mark in 13 of his 32 starts — 41% of the time. For a midfielder that is two points a week arriving without a goal or an assist, and it is easy to miss when you are only looking at attacking returns.
Against the other midfielders
Ranked among the midfielders with enough football behind them to compare fairly — the same 900-minute bar that decides who gets a page here.
Gameweek by gameweek
124 points across 38 gameweeks: 1 score of ten or more, 7 weeks with a goal or an assist, and 13 weeks of two points or fewer. His best was 10 points at home to EVE in gameweek 10.
One bar per gameweek. Green is a ten-plus haul, purple is a six-plus return, grey is a quiet week.

Home and away
No meaningful home-or-away effect — he scored at much the same rate in both.
The fixtures ahead
Coloured by official FPL fixture difficulty — green is kind, red is not. The full grid for every club is on fixture difficulty.
What Bawler projects
The projection prices every way a midfielder scores — appearing, goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, defensive contribution, bonus and cards — from his minutes and his underlying numbers. Before the season starts it is fixture-neutral: what he would be worth in an average gameweek, not against a particular opponent. How the model performed across a full season, gameweek by gameweek, is published on predicted points.
Price
He started 2025/26 at £5.0m, peaked at £5.2m and finished at £5.1m — a move of +0.1m. FPL prices follow transfers in and out, so this is a record of what the game as a whole made of him. Tonight's risers and fallers are on price changes.
Also at Sunderland
Every figure on this page is computed from the Official FPL API's per-gameweek histories for Xhaka — the same rows the game scores — and the totals are checked against FPL's own published season aggregates on every build. Expected goals, expected assists and expected goals conceded are FPL's published values. The full sortable database is on player stats.
FPL is a free fantasy game — this is points analytics, not betting advice.
