I made this chart with data from transfermarkt so apologies if it’s slightly out.
It’s clear we have a defined ‘starting 11’ despite the fact one of them left in Jan! 5 players have played more than 75% of available minutes.
What stands out to me is game time for loanees (bar O’Shea) - admittedly they were 6 month deals so you can argue they played 50% of the minutes available to them. But is that enough to make an impact?
My other concern is 7 of our most used players are 29 and over - is this an aging squad or indicative of league 2?
Players tend to be ‘in their prime’ around 24-29 and we’ve only had 3 players in that range play more than 75% of available minutes.
I know stats are not everything as there are many issues and circumstances but I feel this is a good way of looking at the squad.
* I think the stats include the efl trophy
** Also sorry if this is the wrong place and belongs somewhere else
