•Alex Telles

•Underrated (A thread)
•Stats

So, in a season that Telles has been “under whelming” in he has avast these rather good stats.
•Defensive

Played:8

Clean sheets:4

Losses:3

Two of Telles losses in games that he has started have came to the hands of PSG and RB Leipzig.

The other was against Sheffield United, a game that he assisted the only goal in the game.
So Telles has kept clean sheets in half the games he’s played, but bad considering he’s bad defensively right?
•Attacking

Played:8

Assisted:3

Not much to see here, but considering he’s just came to a new club having very varied game time, he’s managed to get 1 assist shy of a assist every other game.
Again this is a full back that’s had a “bad season” returning clean sheets in half of his games and getting an assist every other game is surely good no?
So after season these stats let’s compare them to some other “top full backs”
•Comparisons

League stats

TAA/Telles

Telles: 6 starts

TAA: 18 starts

Telles: 2 assists

TAA: 3

So despite having 12 less starts Telles only has one less assist.
Now despite having a bad season, TAA is still one of the best fullbacks in the world and plays in system based on attacking full backs.
•Robertson

Started

Robertson:21

Telles:6

Assists

Robertson:5

Telles:2
So with Robertson playing 3x the games it’s logical to multiply Telles output by 3x which would leave him with 6 assist.

That’s one more then the “best LB in the league”
•Luke Shaw

Starts

Shaw:15

Telles:6

Assists

Shaw:1

Telles:2
So finally Telles competitor who he is currently being dropped for and rightfully so to the opinion of many fans.

But why?

Telles has double the attacking out put in less then half the games.
•Previous Stats and achievements

2019/2020 Season stats

Starts:28

Goals:11

Assists:8
•League titles

•8

•Cups

•6
So a full back that has kept clean sheets in half his games, assisted in half his starts, won 14 trophies and hasn’t really put a foot wrong is being called bad,

I’d say that’s underated.
