One thing to watch on your stats above. Whoscored.com uses shots per game, not shots per 90 minutes. Take Plata for example. He has 9 shots on the year in 3 games played but he has only played 207 minutes, not 270 minutes. His shots per 90 should be 3.9 not 3.0.

I could be wrong, but looking around online I am fairly certain that "chances created" is the same thing as "key passes," or at least whenever I see someone cite a "chances created" number, that number ties exactly to whoscored.com's key passes. I'll definitely keep my eye on it in the future though.AOLSHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012226843640147561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390339670562150697.post-14504556726598721892014-04-04T05:08:45.506-07:002014-04-04T05:08:45.506-07:00This is really great work.

According to Opta, a key pass is as follows.<br /><br />The final pass or pass-cum-shot leading to the recipient of the ball having an attempt at goal without scoring.<br /><br />Chances created also would include assists (which key passes does not calculate). <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392004797604291206noreply@blogger.com
