Really surprised Butt made it onto the pass percentage top five - only one outside of the top four (no pun intended) as well!

 

Nah, he is top 5 for number of passes only (look at the numbers)

Roy Carroll 2.71

Stephen Bywater 2.28

Shay Given 1.95

 

I assume this stat is goals conceded per game... doesn't quite tally up with Shay conceding one every 44 minutes if so.......

It's not half impressing completing 86% of your passes over an entire season, but it's probably more impressive that Clichy is almost up there as a full-back. Going to be a head-ache choosing between him, Abidal and Evra who plays LB for France in the summer.

Yep. Amazing to have so much quality in that position. I'd go for Evra, like, as I think he's brilliant.

I rate them all as the worlds best left back, I couldn't chose between them. Probably go for Abidal against the better teams, as he's slightly more defensive than Evra and Clichy, and either of the two against the lesser ones. It's three-way coin toss though tbh.

Goals per game is calculated on number of appearances made. Goals per minute is worked out on the total number of minutes played, hence if you are substituted this stat changes whereas your number of appearances stays the same.

passing accuracy will always be higher when a team plays less direct a la arsenel. but also like what we've done with the 4-3-3
