Feyenoord best from a distance
Thursday 07 January 2009
Last week we saw that Ajax' Luis
Suarez is the player who misses most chances.
Today we have a look at the efficiency
of the clubs.
Goal attempts
Ajax are the team with most attempts at goal halfway
through the season, and ADO Den Haag are the least exciting
team.
It's remarkable that PSV, who are
having such a poor season so far, are second in the
ranking of goal attempts.
So it's only natural that the team
from Eindhoven are low in the efficiency ranking: only
14% of their chances are converted into a goal.
FC Groningen are best at dealing
with a scoring opportunity: 1 in every 5 is turned into
a goal, whereas De Graafschap are least efficient.

Long shots
Feyenoord
have the best marksmen from a distance. The Rotterdammers
scored no less than 8 times from outside the penalty
area.
Diego Biseswar took care of four
of those.
NAC Breda, De Graafschap and FC
Utrecht are least successful from a distance, each team
scoring only once from outside the box.
Set pieces
The presence of tall and strong Frank Demouge (the club's
topscorer with 13 goals) make that Willem II Tilburg
are very dangerous at set pieces, scoring eight goals
that way.
But still FC Groningen did even
better scoring 10 times from dead ball situations.
The team to get almost nothing
from their corners and free kicks are PSV.
Only 1 of their 30 goals came from
a standard situation.
