[QUOTE="Kiwi_, post: 739472, member: 71618"] Yes the stats. I don't really like to turn to them unless they're extremely bad/good. Simply isolating a stat and applying it to whether you should pick the player or not doesn't work all the time, given the different teams they have played, the part of the game they're playing, the match ups they have. There's so many more elements to the game. I understand the importance of making tackles, but there's so much creativity and other positives that Sopoanga and Fekitoa both have over SBW. Showing up in a big fixture is one. The Fekitoa Sopoanga midfield combination might leak line breaks because of those tackle stats, but I'm sure they can work on that part of their game, given how young they are, and you never know until you try.
