That's a load of stats. Haven't read most of them but was surprised to see Messi with the most shots in the league in 2014.

Mkhitaryan just confirming that he's Missitaryan.

Eden Hazard with most chances created from open play in 2014. Not bad not bad, I really didn't think he would even make top 3. Shows what I know! Haha. Very clearly more of a creator than a scorer.

That's way too many stats, started reading but gave up. Messi having more shots than ronaldo tho.
