I will then look at the shooting stats for defenders.  I’m  not going to look at chances created as I think the link between that and assists is even more difficult for defenders.

Heres a few things Ive added over the last few weeks

1.  There’s starting to be enough data and variations in game time that I’m taking in to account shots and chances per minute which means there maybe some variations to last week.

2.  On the all matches ranking and the last 6 shooting stats list I’ve added “CC” next to their name if they’re also in the last 6 chances created top 10.  That will let you easily see if they have another string to their bow of assist potential (however unreliable  the correlation is)

I wont analyse the player implications for these stats in this article but in the “ones to watch” articles they will be an integral part

Summary

If you can’t be bothered reading the whole set of stats here’s the highlights.  Brackets are next 6 fixture ease:

 Benteke (11) at the moment is the player who’s top of the stats appearing in all the shooting tables.

Suarez (4)  is next featuring highly in them all except the GW30 table

3 players are showing early trends of form in Carroll (13)  Cisse (8) and Rodriguez (6).

Returning to the table with good stats are Dzeko (10) and Ba (16)

No double gameweek players in Arsenal Everton and Man Utd feature prominently.  Giroud probably the strongest.  RVP has fallen off the current form radar and had one of his few blank returns on the weekend although the stats werent that bad although they were against Reading

Here’s my tables in all their glory
