100 full backs in the PL supposedly :lol: And I don't understand the data

What exactly don't I understand? If he's 89 percentile at passes into the final 3rd and there's 200 full backs in the top 5 leagues, then he's better than 176 of them at that stat. It's not complicated and those same PL full backs are included in...

That's a lot of needless work you've done there. Fbref compares him against full backs in the top 5 leagues over the past 365 days. The work has been done for you. I don't need to know how he compares to every player in the league. That's...

And yet they're always doubled up on. Go figure

I'm ignoring it with good reason. I'm trying to counter the narrative that Dalot has suddenly turned into a good player this month and am showing that when he got his first proper run in the team, last year, he showed he was very good on the...

Excellent points. Progressive passing is a critical stat for a full back. Far more important than assists which, as you say, just isn't on the agenda often enough to be relevant. Finding a free man high up the pitch is a crucial part of building...

Yep against top 5 league full backs

I quoted the below stats back in July in the Dalot thread so they're last season's figures. Progressive passing 83% Completed long passes 90% Passes into final 3rd 91% Tackles 90% Tackles won 87%

Sweet Jesus

Stats say he was quite good and that from an inexperienced player in a team in meltdown. He was one of the few bright lights for me last season

This. I'm sick of lending players to teams. We're not a bloody library!

How do you explain the stats then? One of the best fbs at moving the ball forward and making and winning tackles according to FBRef

I think the stats reflect what we've been seeing. Very tidy but unadventurous on the ball and susceptible to being beaten but very industrious in defense.

Nah he was pretty good last season too. Stats against all other full backs in Europe last season . Progressive passing 83% Completed long passes 90% Passes into final 3rd 91% Tackles 90% Tackles won 87%

The title of the thread is what's he good at. I ventured passing, and showed a stat saying that he progresses the ball better than the other top 6 Rbs last season, barring TAA. He's good at lots of things imo. He's an all round good footballer...
