The title for most successful dribbles (when a player pushes passed defenders) is held by Ademola Lookman. He has accumulated 10 in the short time he has been played.

Starman Tielemans and Ricardo Periera hold joint first in the number of assists they have accumulated: two each. It turns out Ricky P and Tielemans are creative threats who should be playing every match.

Wilfred Ndidi has put in the most tackles. 18 out of a total of 128. Second place is jointly held by Timothy Castagne and Tielemans with 15 tackles each. Imagine taking these three out of the equation.

The most clearances is held by Soyuncu with 37, not so closely followed by Jannik Vestergaard with 25. Some supporters have been calling for these players to be withdrawn from the side: I would recommend not removing that many defensive contributions from the team.

Cags also holds the title of most involved. If you add every single form of defensive and attacking contribution together, his involvement across the seven matches is once more miles ahead of the nearest competition.

Clearly our defenders have been putting in a shift, yet have been unable to contain the opposition or create too much.
