Crazy Stat Time!

[NorthWalesFox]

We all know football started in 1992 so iv had a look at our current crop of players and the stats for the premier league

 

Most apperance for Leicester in the prem (in green played this season)

 

1	Jamie Vardy	307
2	Kasper Scheichel	276
3	Marc Albrighton	224
4	Muzzy Izzet	222
5	Matt Elliott	199
6	Wilfred Ndidi	192
7	Robbie Savage	172
8	Wes Morgan	170
9	James Maddison	163
10	Steve Guppy	161
11	Neil Lennon	155
12	Youri Tielemans	151
13	Kelechi Iheanacho	150
14	Harvey Barnes	146
15	Riyad Mahrez	139
16	Demarai Gray	133
17	Frank Sinclair	131
18	Emile Heskey	124
19	Jonny Evans	121
20	Andy Impey	120

 

JV takes the lead at the top (unlikely to add to those 307 appearances)  and Maddison breaking into the top 10.

 

In terms of goals...

1	Jamie Vardy		136
2	James Maddison		43
3	Riyad Mahrez		39
4	Harvey Barnes		35
5	Muzzy Izzet		33
=5	Emile Heskey		33
6	Kelechi Iheanacho		30
7	Tony Cottee		27
8	Matt Elliott		22
9	Youri Tielemans		21
10	Leonardo Ulloa		18
=10	Ian Marshall		18
11	Paul Dickov		15
12	Shinji Okazaki		14
13	Marc Albrighton		13
14	Ayoze Perez		12
=14	Les Ferdinand		12
15	Ade Akinbiyi		11
=15	Steve Claridge		11
16	Demarai Gray		10
21	James Scowcroft		10

 

 

Vardy way out in front, and will be many years until anyone comes close! Maddison and Barnes both jumping up the list this season.

 

With 136 Goals Vardy is 15th in the premier league all time goal scorer list

 

Sadly won't need this spreadsheet for at lest a year.

Not sure why but I'm surprised Evans makes the top 20 in apps.

Barnes scored more for his home club than Hesksy and Izzet. Good on him. Up their with Riyad too.

[Blue ROI]

Might have been done before but

 

Ourselves and Forest have been in the premier league the same season 4 times.

 

And each time one of us has been relegated.

 

94/95

96/97

98/99

22/23

Madders, Youri and Barnes will not get the same recognition some of the 90s stars do in 10-15 years time.

Arrived 18 months later, takes an 18 month (and counting) holiday. Prime Ndidi genuinely was absurd.

It just shows how good Kanté was. This is what Ndidi is specialised in and his major weakness is his ball progression, something that Kanté was brilliant at. I feel many people outside of Leicester were blinded by his absurd ball recovery stats for months until the penny finally dropped when he went to Chelsea.

 

Also, you mention Ndidi's "holiday" but Kanté has suffered badly with injuries in recent seasons too.

Reviewing City's 9 seasons in the PL, this is their overall record:-

Played 342

Won 134  

Drew 77

Lost 131

Goals F 517

Goals A 480

Points 479

Average position 10th (10.111111)

Pts/game 1.4005848

Points/season 53 (53.222222)

Win %age 39.18129

Draw %age 22.51462

Loss %age 38.30409

Goals F/game 1.5116959

Goals A/game 1.4035088

Goals F/Season 57.444444

Goals A/Season 53.333333

Average GD/Season +4.1111111.

If there had been 3 more goals in yesterday's game, exactly 1000 goals would have been scored (either F or A) over the last 9 seasons.

If West Ham hadn't scored yesterday, City would have conceded exactly one goal per point gained over the last 9 seasons.

(The recurring decimals appearing in several of the figures is because of 9 being the divisor.)

Disclaimer:- I think that all above data is correct, but cannot guarantee it 100%.  

I wonder who the last club was to have a top flight era in which they won more games than they lost. Sounds a strange one but the vast majority who drop will be generally struggling. Just highlights again what a ****-up it was.

My guess would be Newcastle (1993-2009).

Wish we'd close this thread tbh.

 

It started as a means of keeping check of all the crazy records we were breaking on our way to winning the league.

 

Now just a place for random statistics.

 

Depressing.

Denied.

 

Any random stat (that is borderline crazy) is welcome!

 

Also we can get an awesome stat if we win the League - Most 2nd tier League wins.

 

 

 

Edit: Wait until the thoroughly depressing Ever Obliging thread this year!

Let's hope City don't take flight at the prospect of facing no less than seven clubs next season sporting a bird or birds on their badges/logos: robin, swift, phoenix (mythical bird), canary, owl, swan, and throstle (thrush).

All about the effort, really.

 

The likes of Impey, Savage, Watts, Marshall, Claridge and co were playing way above their station because they went out and made every effort to win the match. That’s what the match day fans appreciate so much more than anything else.

 

Barnes, Maddison, Tielemans - they weren’t trying all that hard. They could’ve done much better.

 

There’s also the disconnect. The Walsh, Taggart, and Elliot years - these were blokes that we sort’ve knew. They were wealthy, sure, but they were relatable. Hard to relate to Harvey Barnes walking about on his tip-toes and driving off in an Aston Martin to his fabulous house whilst being distinctly average most weeks.

 

That’s what it boils down to.

I remember looking at him at some point in the 2016/17 season and thinking WOW. He had the physique similar to Ronaldo. He had pace to burn. He could finish. I just thought it was all there.

 

Unfortunately, in that same match, he ran it out of play and waved his hands at a team mate with a shit eating sneer on his face. He also didn’t get a pass he wanted and looked on the verge of tears and spent a minute or two visibly muttering to himself on the wing. Later on that night he put up some stupid instagram post along the lines of ‘you can try hard but you can’t account for others’.

 

His resilience and attitude towards personal betterment was the real issue with him. He exudes the ‘I’m number one so why try harder’ attitude that has seen him never meet his full potential. It’s sad as I reckon there was definitely an England international in there somewhere.

Demarai Gray was here for what felt like 10 years and still only managed 10 goals 😝😝🤪🤪

I think 78 (ish) were sub appearances. He's in the top 20 most subbed on players.

How long will it take us to get back to the top flight?

 

As you probably know, we have now been relegated from the top division 12 times - equaling the all-time record of Birmingham City. How long has it taken us to get back up in the past?

 

Looking at our history, an interesting pattern emerges.

 

Look at this table. On each line is the year we went down then the year we came back up - and the number of seasons it took.

 

 

 

The pattern's pretty clear, isn't it? We either get promotion quickly, or it takes ages.

 

Looking at that history in terms of player turnover, it becomes even clearer.

 

In each of the seasons we've come back quickly, we 've done so with at least ten regulars from the season we went down still in the squad. For example, the last time we came back quickly, in 2003, we did so with Ian Walker, Callum Davidson, Matt Elliott, Andy Impey, Muzzy Izzet, James Scowcroft, Trevor Benjamin, Alan Rodgers, Brian Deane, Paul Dickov and Gerry Taggart all regulars. They were all kept on from the side relelgated a year earlier.

 

But when we've had to wait longer to come back up. there has been a complete clear-out before we've done so.

 

So we've either got promoted with pretty much the same team that went down, or with a completely new one. There's no middle ground.

 

For comparison, let's look at the other yo-yo kings, Birmingham City. This is their history:

 

 

It's basically random. 

 

Now please don't laugh, but the Leicester pattern reminds me of one of my favourite children's stories, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. 

 

How so?

 

Well,  if you're sitting comfortably, let's imagine the children in the story are Leiceter City, and the wardrobe is the relegaiton trap door.

 

If you remember the tale, the children's trips to the other side fall into two categories. 

 

Sometimes, one or more of them goes through the wardrobe and stays only a short time before coming back - within a couple of pages they've returned to the professor's house.

 

But then there's the other occasions when they pass through and it takes years for them to return.

 

And that's Leicester City.

 

If we don't get back quickly, we spend long, long years in the endless Narnian winter that is Life in the Lower Leagues.

 

What does this all tell us about the future? No doubt it tells us absolutely nothing, but those who fear that last season's calamity places the whole future of the club in doubt are advised not to watch this moment from the film:

 

 

 

 

Don't worry - Aslan brought him back to life later.

 

(Expect someone to post an Aslan-Maresca hybrid picture below. In facr, I'd be disappointed if @Vacamion isn't already on the case).
