The Numbers Game – Creativity From the Back

Following on from our assessment of those defenders presenting the strongest potential for goals, we now switch attention to look at those rearguard members contributing successful passes, crosses and creating goalscoring opportunities.

Using Opta data and our own ICT scores, we run the rule of the season standout performers – discuss the dominance of one key figure and examine those players who offer alternatives and possible routes for investment for the season climax.

This content is restricted to Chief Scout Members. Click here to register and get access to industry-leading stats from Opta and StatsBomb including Defensive Contributions data, the Rate My Team tool, Points Projections, 150+ Member-only articles, exclusive Team Reveals, a customisable Season Ticker, two Transfer Planners... and more!

  If this is the last time you are going to use the internet until deadline? Go for it, risky though.

    i get back friday. hmm only 0.1 at risk i guess. i'll wait. another question- who to bench out of mcclean (wba) taraabt (FUL) bale (ars) dempsey (qpr) walters (SWA)? at this point i cant decide between mcclean and walters. i'm think bench wlaters after playing midweek especially with sunderland in hot form

      Meh, its worth the risk considering the circumstances. Rooney's a tough nut, don't think he will be injured easily.
