The stats say that Wednesday's trade between Philadelphia and Portland involving Danny Mwanga and Jorge Perlaza amounts to a pretty even deal.
Opta compiled the following statistics measuring the production of the two forwards since detailed metrics were recorded beginning in 2011.
If they show fairly similar production — Perlaza did play 500 more minutes — they also show the tendencies of the players changing places.
Perlaza is more of a poacher than Mwanga, with 100 percent of his goals coming inside the 18-yard box. Mwanga, on the other hand, likes the ball at his feet (he nearly has the same number of touches in 500 fewer minutes) and is also more of a creator as seen by his dribbling rate and his assists.
But for all his perceived playmaking abilities, Mwanga has only gotten off two successful crosses, demonstrating his penchant for quick combinations and through balls.
Will their characteristics make them good fits with their new clubs?
