that's an interesting point

I thought Buendia was probably our best outfield player in the Prem, and the stats look great, but at the same time he was an integral part of an attack that scored pitifully few goals.

Is that Pukki's fault for poor finishing? Or, on the other side of the coin, should Pukki really be getting a bit more credit for Buendia's amazing performances. Without his movement, would Buendia be hitting anything like the numbers that he is?

- Emi (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 21, 09:57:37
  - I think because of his strength and physicality, Emi has a much higher ceiling (NCFC) - jamesward, May 21, 10:01:36
    - Perhaps, but Madders is delivering at a higher level right now (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 21, 10:24:00
      - He seems to be injured a lot (NCFC) - camcan, May 21, 11:52:10
      - Is that because is a better player though? (NCFC) - mr carra, May 21, 10:51:08
        
        That's my point to be fair (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 21, 10:58:32
- I think there is a bit of revisionism here (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 21, 09:36:32
  - Emi is playing in a better all round team with other creators when Maddison was a one man (NCFC) - watfordcanary, May 21, 14:42:18
  - seriously, who would you pay extra to see? (NCFC) - Tombs, May 21, 09:43:15
    - I'm really not sure (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 21, 10:01:11
      - so you would walk away from both then? (NCFC) - Tombs, May 21, 10:16:24
        
        not really sure what that means (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 21, 10:21:37
        
        The original q was who would you chose for next season (NCFC) - Tombs, May 21, 10:32:20
        
        O (n/m) (NCFC) - Tombs, May 21, 10:32:57
      - However, Emi was second only to KDB in chance creation in the Prem (NCFC) - jamesward, May 21, 10:08:41
        
        that's an interesting point (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 21, 10:20:37
        
        Pukki and Emi definitely make each other look great (NCFC) - jamesward, May 21, 11:02:50
        
        I also seem to recall Emi giving away a lot of goals last season... (NCFC) - mr carra, May 21, 10:54:24
        
        He did that two or three times, yes (NCFC) - jamesward, May 21, 11:01:22
        
        Is there a stat that shows xG created by each player? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 21, 10:26:53
        
        our results without emi are very poor iirc (NCFC) - Tombs, May 21, 10:52:04
