I delved a little deeper into Raúl Jiménez’s PL career.

In two seasons since joining the PL Jimenez’s record reads:

Appearances: 76/76
Starts: 73/76
Goals: 30
Assists: 14

(1/6)

#FPL
Despite scoring 30 goals, Jimenez has only ever scored more than one goal in a PL game twice:

2 vs West Ham in 18/19
2 vs Southampton in 19/20

(2/6)
Here’s where it gets interesting (to me at least).

Despite scoring the other 26 league goals in separate matches, all 30 of Jimenez’s PL goals have come against only 14 clubs.

*20 of his goals have come against only 6 clubs*

Those goals in each season were as follows:

(3/6)
18/19 | 19/20

Eve: ⚽️⚽️ | ⚽️⚽️
Bou: ⚽️⚽️ | ⚽️⚽️
Tot: ⚽️⚽️ | ❌⚽️
Whu: ⚽️⚽️*❌ | ❌⚽️
Bur: ⚽️❌ | ⚽️⚽️

Avl: N/A | ⚽️❌

(*brace).

So the evidence seems to suggest that although Jimenez spreads his returns across games rather than getting big hauls, he appears to like to score against certain teams.

Something to look out for?

(Note also last season 3/6 assists were against Man City)

I’m sure this could’ve been presented much more effectively and concisely but I don’t do threads and I’m hungry 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Much love (6/6)
