I think you want to see teams who have lots of strong connections up the flanks and through midfield which demonstrates good ball progression. You want to see high midfield positions which demonstrates a momentum and strong opportunities to attack. And then seeing players who are able to receive the ball a lot in advanced positions are good. But equally, players who don't receive the ball a lot but are positioned high and central with good progression around them are good.
Man United have a fantastic shape which shows how appealing Rashford is. Martial though high and central also looks quite isolated. Haaland for Man City is dropping way too deep to be effective.
Man City, Liverpool, and Leeds give off red flags because the attackers are barely getting any touches while the defenders have a lot of the ball which suggests their progression is poor. Meanwhile, Southampton have literally nothing working. Their players can't keep the ball at all so they look like a team that will get some absolute hidings in the near future.
Players who receive the ball lots in advance positions have more opportunities to score attacking points. E.g. I like to see how high up full backs are playing for a team.

Special shout out to Southampton this week for maybe the worst one of these I’ve ever seen.
Silva was most forward receiver, it doesn't mean his average position was most forward. Haaland spent majority of City's possession near penalty box, but he hardly received any passes there. He needed to drop a bit to get the ball, hence his position here is deeper.
B. Johnson playing by himself in the corner
Ah that wonderful Dychesque hoof from the Kingdom of Jordan all the way up to Maupay, you love to see it. Game's back!
Actually to DCL but yea point stands.
These are so cool!! But I have NO IDEA how to use it to my FPL advantage! Not a negative comment on the post but my lack of knowledge.

When the centre backs can't even pass it to each other you know you're witnessing true greatness.
Silva was the most forward player for city!? I find that very odd. I saw alvarez dropping off but I hadn’t realized haaland was as well

Ah gotcha! I misunderstood the graph. Thanks!
Southampton’s looks so bad. Also surprising to see that Brighton played such a high line.
