Maybe, a full-back is more likely to be in a situation to make tackles?

RM has moved positions, SW is playing full games not filling in and playing weaker oppo.

There's also usually a symbiosis in centre back partnerships, one who goes out to tackle and one who marshals the line.

I imagine Flems tackles were higher thsn Malky's as Turners will be higher than Martin.

We can't actually compare who is the better right back because only one has really played the position this season. We do know Martin was good enough to play RB in a team that finished 2nd four years ago.
