Its just another analytics model and if it wasnt used in a video game, people would be drooling all over it
1. I thought the same. But i got told A LOT of the stats is from volunteers. They have hundreds of volunteers giving stats about teams. (a guy on villa forum used to be one of those volunteers for villa)
2. People would not be drooling over it. I mentioned just Kane apps-goals stat on another forum just to say how impressive it was for first season and i got told "i rather not use stats to judge things but use my eyes". Average person hates every single little thing which can come under a "stat"
