How to tell players apart

Read a player’s numbers correctly: per 90 minutes, by position, with sample size and the traps of context.

What you will learn

  • Read per-90 stats and see why goals alone mislead.
  • Know which measures matter in each position.
  • Estimate how much a team changes when a key player is out.
  • Spot the traps: penalties, hot streaks, transfer hype, small samples.
