The most prolific Premier League attacks share traits that can be tested. This look at them also shows when to be sceptical, and how to avoid giving too much weight to a hot scoring run.
Chance Quality
Prolific attacks create a lot of high-quality chances. Shots from good positions are the foundation of sustained scoring. Check expected goals per match and the average quality of shots.
Variety of Routes
Teams that score through open play, set pieces and quick breaks are harder to defend than those with a single method. Variety makes an attack robust against changes in opposition tactics.
Set Pieces
A strong dead-ball routine adds goals independent of open-play dominance.
Key Players
Dependence on one or two players is a risk. Check how the team performed when they were absent. Compare goals per match with and without them.
The Opposition
Scoring against weak defences is easier. Compare results with fixtures against strong teams. Also check the quality of the goalkeepers faced.
Sustainability
A gap between goals and expected goals tends to close over time.
Perspective
Even prolific attacks go quiet. Predictions are opinions and should be used responsibly and within the law.
