Scoutcast Extra – Big Numbers (Gameweeks 1-12)

1,514 Comments

The latest international break gives us the opportunity to take stock of the key underlying statistics being posted by teams and players over the first 12 Gameweeks of the season.

In this extra to our usual Scoutcast format, David and Joe sift through a raft of statistics to uncover who have been the most attacking players in terms of both goal threat and creativity.

They also find out who has been over and under performing and delve deep into the team statistics.  Most threatening sides, best defences and those vying for whipping boy status are among issues looked at.

Meanwhile, our Scoutcast duo also find out which defenders are set to produce points at both ends of the pitch and they name the best bonus magnets to consider.

Key talisman, who are integral to their side’s chances of scoring, are also put under the microscope.

Joe and David also reveal how this autumnal stat-attack has affected their future transfer plans.

Tables used in this Scoutcast Extra episode are from our Members area.

          Ah yeah that changes things a bit. I'd go Martial in your case. But you might not need to spend the 5.5. I'll probably bring Digne in. At 4.8 I think he's good value
