He may seem a million miles off Readfing’s Kevin Doyle or Cardiff City’s Ross McCormack but Jason Scotland is the leading Swans player in the latest set of Actim Stats that were released yesterday.<\/p>\n
Scotland – three league goals to his credit this season – finds himself in 76th place in the Championship table, two places ahead of team mate Ashley Williams.<\/p>\n
Actim Stats are a collection of team, player and match statistics.<\/p>\n
They are derived from all the actions that take place during a match, including goals, shots on target, corners, fouls, offsides, passes, tackles, blocks and clearances. The raw data can be used to generate a wide range of tables and statistics such as player profiles, team and player head-to-heads and form guides.<\/p>\n
PA Sport gathers match data for every Barclays English Premier League, Coca-Cola Championship and Scottish Premier League game.<\/p>\n
The data is gathered by two methods – real-time match analysis and the study of video footage. The real-time analysis is conducted by ex-professional footballers that report on action at the grounds as it happens. Further, more detailed analysis is obtained by studying videos of the matches.<\/p>\n
Scotland has attracted much criticism this season for his performances but the statistics show that clearly he is doing something that impresses the people that collate these factors.<\/p>\n
Viewed by many as the Swans leading light so far this seaso, Ferrie Bodde is the only other Swans player in the top 100 – he sits in 90th place, level with the footballing legend that is Rory Fallon.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Just seven points seperate the three Swans players.<\/p>\n
The leading player in the Championship is Reading’s impressive Kevin Doyle with Ross McCormack of Cardiff in 2nd place and Stephen Hunt of Reading in 3rd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
