If Engel is the weakest link in next seasons team then I think we will get promoted.
I'll repeat my standard line that stats are useful but don't tell the whole story.Leif Davies just won the championship LB of the season... Stats from FBREF (the same website yours are from)...

I'll wait for your next "stats don't mean anything" reply...
Very selective stats you've picked there.
Chose to leave out all the ones that show how far Engel is behind him.
I'll have a look at the stats BG, probably tomorrow. The thing that interests me here is reliability. Maybe fotmob is rubbish, though it's the one I use for in-play trading becaause it seems more accurate than others.I'll repeat my standard line that stats are useful but don't tell the whole story.

Failed to mention his 17 assists (0.43 per game)
His 2.94 key passes per game
His 4.94 SCA per game
His 8.01 crosses per game
There was another thread last week where lots of stats were being fired about. I quoted of fbref and someone else quoted from whoscored. They weren't identical but they were very very similar for each player.I'll have a look at the stats BG, probably tomorrow. The thing that interests me here is reliability.

Always interested in looking at this kind of information, particularly if it tells me something I don't really believe.
I take the point you are trying to make though.
They will be decent stats then, you would expect. It's not whether the stats are any good, you assume that most current stats sites are, at least, reasonably accurate. I want to have a look at thomas' game by game stats. Given he has played so few games, 1 or 2 games could skew his stats massively. 2 games would be about 40 percent of all his stats. See where I am coming from?There was another thread last week where lots of stats were being fired about. I quoted of fbref and someone else quoted from whoscored.

Passing percentages within 0.2% for example.
Fbref don't provide any in play stats. Their stats don't display till usually 2 days after the match. All stats provided by opta apparently.
Also smith only had 4 starts and 2 substitute appearances this year.Over how many games for Thomas? This is kind of key. Played what 9 games for us? Have the stats settled? The same could be said for Dijksteel.
Unless, of course you are comparing career stats which again is not really relevant when a player changes teams.
Ayling had been superb so no complaints there he has been terrific and has played 17 games for us.
Where did you take these stats from?
I was going to mention this about the Ipswich game, Davis looked inferior but it was just the one match.Leif Davies just won the championship LB of the season... Stats from FBREF (the same website yours are from)...
