7 - Ferran Torres

[delancey]

In the last 3 LaLiga seasons so far he has recorded 25 goals in 3148 minutes, and we add to that 10 assists as well.

That is a goal every 126 minutes, and a goal or assist every 90 minutes.

For a player who is bit part and switches between winger and striker, those are fantastic numbers.

Interestingly Fermin has registered 7 goals and 4 assists in all competitions this season. If we assume that he’ll perform similarly throughout the remainder of the season, that brings his season stats to 14 goals, 8 assists. So far in LL, he’s played 548 minutes, which results in one goal contribution per 90 minutes.

So Ferran and Fermin share similar goal contribution stats per 90 minutes.

This is pretty damning

Why damning?
Ferran Torres is in his prime age. He is a regular on the Spain NT. He had better show up in the critical games.
Benchmarking the current football format of 37 year old Lewandowski for players on his position at the highest football level is a bit misplaced and misunderstood.
It should go the other direction; Lewandowski at 37 can still exceed Torres and Haalland in this or that stat. Not the other way around.

The data spans from when Lewa was 34 (supposedly in his prime still coming off a good season at Bayern) up until his current age of 37.

A bit irrelevant when debate is not who was best in prime. It’s about who should be our first choice.
