Opta stats
Well respected football statistics outlet Opta Joe gave us all a treat on Twitter with some hilarious April Fool’s stats – here’s some of the best.
65% – Peter Crouch has the best touch for any “big man” – players over six foot tall in the Premier League. Exception.

35 – Wilfried Bony has hit 35 shots “too well” this season; more than any other player in the Premier League. Clean.

51% – More than half of all Luis Suarez’s shots on wet pitches have picked up speed en route to goal – the highest % in the league. Fizz.
