Statistics are completely useless in determining a players ability on the field. The best midfielder on a team will be covered by the LSM, hampering his chances of scoring, the best attack will be covered by the best defender. The best defender will have the best attack. This factors into “statistics “ every game.
And the best players overcome the best competition and find a way to score/ turn the ball over, make the save, win the face off, etc. Those players are then top of the stats.
