Good enough Palhinha replacement for Fulham, though he offers less going forward.

Me too! I'd thought he was a like for like Matic replacement which would've been good in the old system

So ugarte is in 13 defensive duels per game with a win percentage of 62. Berge is in 5 per game with a win percentage of 75.

Ugarte averaging 8 successful duels per game. Berge 3.75.

Not a comment on them but shows limits of stats in how they're interpreted

Ugarte’s stats are better.

Ugarte probably has the best stats of any DM in the league. Apart from, annoyingly, Gravenberch.

Which is good to see. I think Ugarte and Mainoo is a good base in terms of a midfield refresh. We need to let Eriksen and Casemiro go and sign another couple younger midfielders in there.

We’ve been linked to Ederson of Atalanta who sounds like an energetic box to box in the form of his life, but I also want us to get a younger deeper lying playmaker/tone setter with his passes.

Yeah the % stuff was used to say Lindelof was good

The best is probably someone with a high workrate like Ugarte and managing to keep up a pretty high % at the same time. Something like where Ndidi and Casemiro are placed

 

[Blood Mage]

I wasn't as against this signing as the rest of the caf, he's a solid player. Unfortunately a lot of our fans are stuck in their view that we should only be targeting world class players even though we are shit and world class players wouldn't want to come here.

Interesting chart. Some takeaways:

1. Casemiro is reasonably high in both number and success of tackles.

2. Declan rice is not very prolific at all when it comes to putting in and winning tackles. I guess he is more of a coverer of ground rather than ball winner

3. Decent numbers from Adam Wharton.
