Good stats very encouraging. Good work piecing that together.I have compiled few stats from Premier league official website and squwka comparing last 2 seasons of Lukaku vs Kane and Aguero.
I considered last 2 seasons as I thought that gives more accurate stats than overall (as Lukaku and Kane were young players vs Aguero was at his peak)
Few interesting observations:
Their overall international records.
- All 3 players' mins per Goals + assists is more or less same
- Lukaku scored 8 goals in 22 games vs Top 6, which is a very good record considering he played for Everton
- Lukaku scored in 42% of the games, his percentage would have been higher or even closer to other 2 had I excluded the games where they scored from penalties (couldn't find the stats), so Lukaku scoring goals in bursts is a common theme for any striker.
- His injury record is excellent. Played in 74 out of 76 league games. 1 was unused sub and 1 was not in squad.
- He has created most chances and most big chances than the other 2.
- He is better dribbler than Kane.
- Kane and Lukaku scored 12 and 11 goals from weaker foot which is a good record.
- I excluded aerial duels in the stats, but Lukaku wins that won by a big margin.
- Considering the strengths of the teams they played for, Lukaku's record is very good.
Lukaku vs other top strikers in the league
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
you would need to look at the number of dribbles attempted and the number of them which were successful. Then you could get a concrete answer.
for example per 90 Minutes, Lukaku has 66.67% and Kane has 50% and both have almost the exact same attempts. I could not find a dribbling stat per say but a take on is more worthwhile since you can dribbling can be meaningless but with take ons you are actually taking on the opponent.
Great work. Wow the fact that Lukaku is superior in the air despite almost doubling the next closest rivals attempts is amazing. You would think the more attempts that the actual "won" cell would be much lower.
Think the last two seasons from Aguero have been his least impressive, and Kane's dribbling's always looked hilariously bad to me. But I am very surprised about Lukaku's chance creation stats, even if Evertonwould endeavour to get everything through him.
Yeah, we have an excellent player in our hands now. Player whose best years are yet to come.
Like the stats show he scored with right foot, left foot and headers. Also if you watch his goals for Everton he scored almost all kind of goals, goals from crosses, from through balls, dribbling past players, poacher goals.
Wow, thank you so much for the hard work.
Do you mind sharing the excel file? I have some free time and might consider compiling more players and more seasons.
To be clear, the goals exclude penalties and are from all competitions, right?
It's the same with what happened to Carrick in the past. An idea becomes trendy and popular and everyone just jumps on the bandwagon. Such is the nature of mobs.
Try googling mind virus.
Kane and Aguerro have better long shot accuracy than him. The problem is Martial and Rashford are also struggle with their shots outside the box.
I hope one of them would improved

No, I considered only league goals so excluded only penalties from league. For those stats you can check premier league website.
Sure I will share the excel.
Brilliant work @roonsyer09!
It blows a lot of myths about Lukaku peddled here away.
"He does not assist enough" - debunked.
"He can't dribble" - debunked
"His all round play is poor" - debunked
"He is not a big game player" - debunked
"He is not as good as Kane" - debunked

Hahahahahahaha
White text, phew.
Dang it. Haha. Thanks for the file. Cheers.
Plenty of people failing to recognise the fact that other players will benefit from his mobility. Ibra was very static and in many ways I imagine fairly easy to defend against for sides who wanted to defend the penalty area
Thanks @roonster09 ! Looking forward to seeing him this upcoming campaign.
Great stuff, statistically he's just a bit shy of Aguero and Kane, he is also still young as is Kane, so upwards from here hopefully. What surprised me the most was how many chances he has created and how many assists he has, fantastic.
Clerly vrey strong to play that many games/minutes and good strike rate when you compare his penalty tally with Kane's
Well stats are all well and good. But kane, aguero, costa are a level above lukaku.
Lukaku is young though and may yet surpass them but i just dont see it at the moment

It's quite simple really. Just look for the stats of distance covered per 90 minutes and sprints per 90mins. I would be surprised if he is on the same level as the other two. In fact, saw this article a few days ago on skysports that showed him being inferior to zlatan last season on the above. That's the 35 year old legless zlatan. This screams laziness , hence the issue of contribution to the team.
One of my main issues with zlatan was his ability to press the opposition's backline and keeper to prevent build up from the back and disrupt their tempo. I actually suspect lukaku Will do this better given than he can afford i.e. less need to conserve energy. The bit where I worry back about lukaku is the off the movement. Especially when not in transition i.e when opposition are camped in their box. This is what players like pogba rely on. I hope works out because if he fixes these bits sky's the limit. Kane won't even come close
One stat that lukaku shits all over kane : he's a united player.
They aren't. Kane is better but Costa isn't. Lukaku has outscored Costa in last 2 seasons.
No it doesnt.
Yep. Some players when they come to a club like us, they get nervous. Others, they get more of a pep in their step. They understand that they're part of something BIG, they let that fuel em like they're part of a mafia or something. I get this vibe off of Lukaku. Happy to have him
Encouraging stats!
Interesting stuff, full marks for the effort put in
I'm a little bit more excited about him now. Nice work @roonster09 
Can't help but feel this thread was posted to justify a feeling of apathy.
You wouldn't have seen a thread like this had Griezmann signed.
Oh, my new girlfriend might be a bit ugly but she's got great boobs. Etc etc

So, this thread was posted for misinformed people like you and bust few myths.
No myths busted with me mate, I don't rate the lad, nor will I after a few stats. I've seen him play live a few times, and not once did I wish he played for my team (Liverpool)
Lovren had him in his pocket last time I saw him. How poor a player can you be if Lovren dominates you?
Oh yeah that proves he is shit. Jog on.
Thanks for the thread mate, very interesting! I like seeing raw numbers as you simply can't argue with them. They're surprisingly good. Any Everton fans agree that they're representative of what they watched last season?
@BigDunc9 ?
The fact he's shit proves he's shit.
Missed out on Griezmann, settled for Lukaku. Justify it all you want mate but you, nor anyone else on this forum wanted him on the 1st July. You're fooling nobody. Reminds me of a very similar thread when Bodgit signed Ballotelli. I was facepalming at fellow fans justifying it.
Lets see how it goes the next time we meet, mate...
Remember when the Caf was criticizing Lukaku when McNair got the better of him? 
You surely look home at RAWK. So the player who was second highest goal scorer in the league and the striker who contributed as many goals + assists in open play as Kane (in last 2 seasons) is shit? You really should head to RAWK.
These are all just by me and these are much before July 1st, most of them was during the season, so you can stop your little assumptions.

We've not missed out on Griezmann.
He chose not to go -this season- because of the transfer ban - if that wasn't upheld he'd have been ours.
And he'll be here next summer anyway, barring a catastrophic season.
Lukaku is an excellent striker and will do really well for you.
The amount of shots is a large enough sample that variation in shot type and difficulty won't be enough to distract from his original point. Good try though.
Well, we have. We wanted to sign him and we haven't. The reasons don't really matter. For now, we have missed out on him. He may or may not come here next summer.
Only thing that i don't like with him is his ball control. It is bloody awful.
Everything else looks fantastic.
