I am curious. Which chart appearance/stat surprises the most?

Jolazo said...: On the one hand, Gooch has played for the most top clubs. But he's always injured, so it's kind of surprising to see his name on top.; January 27, 2014 at 3:31 PM
Greg Seltzer said...: He has played 202 top flight league games in his career. So not always.; January 27, 2014 at 3:34 PM
Jolazo said...: Yeah, I guess it's just a more recent perception.

How do you get all these stats together? Is there a central database you use? Or does MLS give you an intern to look all of it up?; January 27, 2014 at 3:37 PM
Greg Seltzer said...: Ha! No, I have no intern. All me. I use various websites like Transfermarkt/Weltfussball, as well as books on occasion. Obviously, some players are easier counts than others. But once I research something or other, I keep it around with updates for future reference.; January 27, 2014 at 3:47 PM

Goals are needed, not excuses!!!

And wins are above all else, and does cure everything; January 29, 2014 at 4:41 PM
