Researching the top points scorers or the players in form is relatively easy to do. What’s not so easy is determining which players provide you with the least “dud” rounds.
This week, I’m going to fix that.
The caveat here is that this data only includes rounds where a player plays at least 60 minutes. We’re looking at starters only to compare apples-to-apples. Trying to figure out who starts from week to week is a whole different ballgame.
I’ve also limited the data to players that have started in at least five matches. Scoring less than four points is considered a “low” match in my book, and I defined “high” as scoring greater than six points.
