Great example of stat manipulation (a thread). https://twitter.com/lacazte/status/1358802749597638656
There have been 20 teenagers (16-19 year olds who have played in the prem this season.
Of these 20, only 12 can be considered forwards/attacking midfielders.
Of these 12. Only 3 have played over 270 minutes (3x90s). These players are Fabio Silva, Mason Greenwood and Bukayo Saka.
Fabio Silva has played 731 minutes, Greenwood 976, and Saka 1686. Therefore, Saka has little to no competition when it comes to these stats which a) are not per 90 and b) only include a tiny number of players.
That being said it’s a testament to how good he is that he’s been played so much and of course, he has been great for Arsenal. This thread wasn’t about him, it was about how useless those stats are.
