As Maguire played every single min in the league, going by whoscored we have played 3450 mins. (Took Bruno average for full season as it's hard to get from Wolves game)

We started the season relying on Martial, Rashford and Pogba's fitness. 2 of them played 76% of total mins, Pogba played just 35%. Once Bruno was signed, relying on Rashford-Martial combination wasn't as important as before.

Our best 3 players (at the start of the season) didn't play much together.

Since AWB, Maguire, Lindelof played most of the games I won't add them. When we started the season, Martial, Rashford, Pogba, Shaw were our first choice players.

One of our biggest issue this season, at least till the restart was not able to field our first 11 regularly, too many injuries + lack of quality back ups made the task even tougher. Since Bruno was signed, we didn't have to rely on Martial + Rashford combination as we did before, also signing Bruno means we also added creativity from midfield, something we struggled all season.


p.s I know it's a well know issue, just adding few numbers to see how many games we played without our best players.

Nice stats, mate.

Dan James starting 26 matches and Andreas Pereira starting 18 is mental! No wonder we struggled so in the first half of the season.

Edit: even McTominay started too many. We really need some better depth.

Yeah, we started the season with either Pereira or Lingard as 10. With Martial and Rashford's injuries, we had no other options but to rely on combination of Lingard, Pereira, James. Maybe Greenwood could have played more but I have no complains on how he is handled. Now he looks lot stronger so he is first choice player.

Way too much Pereira as said above. Mata would have been a better option anyways.
