I think this season was an outlier for availability and he was rushed back by Roy to play. He played in 37 prem games the year before. Don't think this year should stop us from going all out for him cause this season seems an outlier for availability
Great article Josh. I really do enjoy how the "series pieces" are written to introduce us to the subject matter and each subsequent piece provides more and more information. Great read!
"t’s probably a lot easier to beat your opposite number on the dribble in France or the Netherlands compared to England. Just saying."
Average dribble success rate this season:
France 48.2%
Netherlands 46.1%
England 45.6%
Yep! Only Italy (44.3%) was harder in 2023/24.

That Olise number is insane
He's a quality player, although as alluded to here, problem is availability...

Thanks Sherwyn, glad to hear it.
Great work Josh
Realise its outside of your selected pool but Any consideration for this Dario Osorio lad who’s been linked this week?
I haven’t looked into him yet tbh mate. I’ve seen the rumours though. Will keep an eye out.
Excellent as always mate.
Interesting stuff as always. Shouldn't availability be one of the metrics though?
All in good time 👀
