Top goal scoring teams in Europe right now:

Bayern: 43
Dortmund: 42
PSG: 40
Barcelona: 34
Real Madrid/Leicester City: 32

They're nowhere near the top scoring teams in Europe. They're the top scoring teams in the top divisions of a handful of leagues.

Okay, so what does being top at Xmas mean statistically?

Year - Who topped the table on 25/12 - Where they finished

(I've also added the points total each team had after 17 matches that didn't go on to win it)

2014 - Chelsea - 1st
2013 - Liverpool - 2nd (36)
2012 - Man Utd - 1st
2011 - Man City - 1st
2010 - Man Utd - 1st
2009 - Chelsea - 1st
2008 - Liverpool - 2nd (38)
2007 - Arsenal - 3rd (40)
2006 - Man Utd - 1st
2005 - Chelsea - 1st
2004 - Chelsea - 1st
2003 - Man Utd - 3rd (40)
2002 - Arsenal - 2nd (35)
2001 - Newcastle - 4th (33)
2000 - Man Utd - 1st
1999 - Man Utd - 1st
1998 - Villa - 6th (33)
1997 - Man Utd - 2nd (37)
1996 - Liverpool - 4th (34)
1995 - Newcastle - 2nd (39)
1994 - Blackburn - 1st
1993 - Man Utd - 1st
1992 - Norwich - 3rd (36)

Over 23 years, 12 times the team top went on to win the league. 22/23 finished top four.

Of those teams with 38 points or more at this stage, the lowest they've finished is third.

On the other hand, only four clubs have been top at Xmas and carried this on to win it - Man Utd (6 times), Chelsea (4) and Man City (1), Blackburn (1).

It's only really Mourinho and Ferguson that have shown themselves capable of getting there and staying there. Most others get there and choke. Ranieri has a history of doing this too.

To me, the stats suggest that Arsenal are going to win it this year, with Man City second and Leicester third.

I'll settle for that.

 

[Miles Away]

Nah. We will win it.

Just wait until we beat Man City next week.

Don't assists normally get given for winning a penalty?

Don't assists normally get given for winning a penalty?

It depends whose definition of 'assist' is applied

 

[Richie_d123]

What is the correct definition?

What is the correct definition?

It depends who you ask

What is the official definition if we

I don't think the Premier League counts assists as an individual entity. They are however counted towards the EA Sports PPI (Player Performance Index) which is the official player rating index of the Premier League. They define, as follows:

Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.

If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal.

In the event of a penalty or free-kick, the player earning the penalty or free-kick gets an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if he takes it himself, in which case no assist is given.

The matter of assists caused some controversy at the top of this thread IIRC. I pretty sure that Scarby told us that he was taking the stats from lcfc.com; and that Jeff said that there was little point in quoting incorrect stats.

 

[Richie_d123]

So officially Vardys has more assists and I shouldn't take any notice of the stats in this thread. Thanks for the clarification Boc.

 

[Scarby]

Bloody hell does it really matter. It was just a rough guide, something that wasn't done before. I won't bother wasting my time.

Keep bothering. Never mind any moans.

I have no idea. I have enough trouble trying to keep the Card Watch stats up-to-date.

...and I shouldn't take any notice of the stats in this thread.

That's up to you. They are obviously the correct stats as far as the club is concerned. They clearly use a different definition.

Or you could take the time to post the stats, according to the EA PPI definition, to the forum yourself?

 

[Richie_d123]

I wasn't moaning, was just asking.
