That’s what our latest research into set plays data has shown us this week.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the data both in the Members Area and in the article below, where we go into a bit more detail.

This is part one of two, with the second article to come out later in the week.

    Whisper it quietly but I don't think Gareth Southgate is very good, he certainly doesn't turn me on. He doesn't seem to realise you are allowed to change system and make substitutions if things aren't working...

      Yet is the first England manager in 18 years to make a World Cup semi final... Even after 'The Golden Generation', investment in a swede, an Italian and every English manager in the game...

      Other option is to Get in another decent option on bench. 3.9 to 4.5 defender for me, to have good cover for rotation/rest.

      Silva has better stats (not by a huge margin) and plays for a better team, but more prone to rotation.

      I think either will be good, but long term Pogba will outscore him imo.
