PL winning percentages and other interesting stats

[Welbeckham]

I was looking for some PL stats of our players. I’m not usually one to judge a lot based on stats, but sometimes they provide an interesting extra account on who’s good for the team and who isn’t. For valid comparison, I only included current players who haven’t played for other PL clubs. Also for the same reason, excluded players who had PL starts under Fergie, because that was a different United tbh. I’m also deliberately focusing on team related stats because those are rarely brought up. Victor Lindelöf Played 82 W41 D23 L18 W% 50,0 L% 22,0 Goals conceded 86 Goals conceded per game 1,05 Clean sheets 23 Clean sheets per game 0,28 Eric Bailly Played 54 W35 D12 L7 W% 64,8 L% 13,0 Goals conceded 35 Goals conceded per game 0,65 Clean sheets 21 Clean sheets per game 0,39 Marcos Rojo Played 76 W45 D21 L10 W% 59,2 L% 13,2 Goals conceded 58 Goals conceded per game 0,76 Clean sheets 21 Clean sheets per game 0,28 Diogo Dalot Played 20 W9 D4 L7 W% 45,0 L% 35,0 Goals conceded 19 Goals conceded per game 0,95 Clean sheets 1 Clean sheets per game 0,05 Brandon Williams Played 17 W8 D6 L3 W% 47,0 L% 17,6 Clean sheets 4 Clean sheets per game 0,24 Paul Pogba Played 111 W63 D31 L17 W% 56,8 L% 15,3 Jesse Lingard Played 133 W68 D34 L31 W% 51,1 L% 23,3 Andreas Pereira Played 45 W21 D11 L13 W% 46,7 L% 28,9 Fred Played 46 W22 D10 L14 W% 47,8 L% 30,4 Bruno Fernandes Played 14 W9 D5 L0 W% 64,3 L% 0,0 Daniel James Played 33 W15 D10 L8 W% 45,5 L% 24,2 Scott McTominay Played 58 W33 D13 L12 W% 56,9 L% 20,7 Anthony Martial Played 145 W73 D36 L36 W% 50,3 L% 24,8 Marcus Rashford Played 142 W76 D39 L27 W% 53,5 L% 19,0 Mason Greenwood Played 34 W14 D11 L9 W% 41,2 L% 26,5 ... So, it’s probably often a bit misleading with different amount of games and sub appearances vs full appearances etc. Also adding Maguire and AWB just including their matches with United wouldn’t probably be huge extra work. I would’ve liked it too be a more compelling, getting the clean sheets and goals conceded stats for midfielders and strikers also and things like that. All of these stats are kind of team-related, so digging into personal stats like tackling, shooting, and aerials would provide a very different piece of information. Thoughts?

Nice idea but a little misleading as certain players are selected for games against weaker teams and would be expected to have a higher win %

I know, it’s really flawed because of those differences. Also I think these stats unflatter Greenwood the most because of all the thankless sub appearances during our awful run of form in 2019.
