* Statistics from top 5 leagues only


I would suggest that they might be overrating the entire Villa team a tad.
Just a tad though :)

What do those numbers mean? And when were those team ratings compiled? Villa were awesome about a month ago - but have cooled substantially.

It's a current average rating out of ten reached by compiling about 200 different statistics. Whether they're giving all of those different stats correct weighting is highly debatable.

Cheers.

Still, when were those stats compiled? I honestly thought that Villa stood a good chance at a top 4 finish about a month or so ago - since then, they've come back to earth.

After the last league/cup game, they're updated every time a match is played.

In that case - these ratings seem suspect - unless Villa (admittedly I haven't watched their games) have experienced wildly bad results - their rating is nowhere near in line with their current league position.

28 played on 41 points - there's almost no fucking way they'll even finish top 4.

It seems like one of the 200 statistics is the number of minutes a player has played at Villa Park! :-)

Mahrez, Dias, Silky Ilkay and Stones should all have higher ratings than Grealish imho.

I understand that perspective, we’ve got a lot of incredibly talented players.

Maybe hard to compare Grealish to a defender (apples & oranges innit) but if Mahrez or Ilkay were in that Villa side then I‘d imagine that they‘d be better rated as individuals virtue of the sharp contrast in ability between them and their team mates making them shine brightly and also the fact that they’d be central to almost everything happening.
And visa versa, if Grealish were in our side then he wouldn’t be quite so central to play so might not get quite such high ratings.
Grealish is still class though. He gets a slagging, from those less open to change, due to his haircut and tight shorts but I wouldn’t care if his hair do was a pink beehive and he wore a tutu instead of shorts because if he ever gets to wear our shirt then his ability as a footy player will be my only concern.

Rumours (hopefully/probably bullshit) that his place in the England squad for the Euros is under threat because of Lingard's rise to form.

If that happens, he'll probably be even more open to a move given the supposed bias to teams higher in the league. Not that he'd take much persuading, mind.

WhoScored stats work off raw data stats usually, so it favours players who do well there.

Grealish creates lots of chances, gets fouled a load, and is presumably high up in the dribble stats. So he'll be rated well.

I’d only want him just so villa can’t have him
