Expected Clean Sheets
In the table below, you will find expected clean sheets for all Premier League teams. They are calculated from bookies clean sheet odds. If a team has a clean sheet probability of 33% in a certain gameweek, it means that he has 0.33 expected clean sheets in that gameweek.
The Expected Clean Sheets column represents the sum of expected clean sheets through all gameweeks in this season. It represents how many clean sheets each EPL team should have based on bookies odds.
Clean Sheets are the actual numbers of clean sheets that teams have kept this season.
Delta is the difference between expected clean sheets and actual clean sheets. It helps to spot defensive under/overperforming teams.
How expected clean sheets help you in FPL: this table will help you find teams which are overperforming or underperforming their defensive expectations.
If their real clean sheet number is higher than the expected clean sheets, they should have kept fewer clean sheets according to bookies odds.
Similarly, if their real clean sheet number is lower than the expected clean sheets, they should have kept more clean sheets according to bookies odds.
So, here is our table with most clean sheets for each EPL team in 2023/24 season in comparison with expected clean sheets according to bookies odds.
