The Argentina League stats would be different in the Premier League & I calculated that the stat results would be halved.

The Z score is calculated with Swansea’s stat preferences included. For example – Forward Passes for a winger has is 0.17/1.0 but shot assists is 0.26/1.0. I believe shot assists to be more important when looking for a winger.

0.8 x 51= 40.8
