One of the fiercest debates amongst #ncfc fans throughout the season was, who deserved to start at LB? I decided to have a look into the data and settle it myself.
Data from top 5 league LBs with a minimum of 750 mins
Dimi Giannoulis = Yellow
Brandon Williams = Green

The more traditional view of judging a fullback is to first look at how they can defend. Due to Norwich being one of the weakest sides in their league their defenders were tasked with completing a large number of defensive actions so this was a vital metric for performance.
Surprisingly for many, DG came out on top for successful defensive actions per 90. This is perhaps due to the bias of fans to see BW throwing himself and being committed in duels to skew their impression of defence. DG quietly was more effective in his actions be it marginally.
Hugo Ekitike (19) is the next exciting prospect coming out of France, with a reported move to Newcastle reaching the final stages I have detailed a scout report to guide fans on what to expect from their new signing.
This report will use the English FA’s four-corner model to provide a complete observational analysis looking at all aspects of player performance with a blend of statistical analysis to provide context.
Last season was Ekitike’s break out season, this is the first season he has recorded over 1000 mins and has given a good indication of his current ability and the wealth of potential he possesses. Player info below:
