The Linyola, Asturian and Cameroon move in very similar percentages. Incidentally, the best of the three in this section is the squad.

There is a deeply odious comparison to the Barcelona fans: the scoring form with which they started the season Samuel Eto `o and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Lombard lands against rampant drought David Villa and Bojan Krkic Barca. The statistics are bleeding: Eto `o added 9 goals in 34 shots performed in 9 games with an ERA of 26.47%, a goal every 4 shots. Ibra is not far away, with 5 goals in 24 shots fired in 7 games (selections and friendly apart) that show an excellent average of 20.83%, a goal for every 5 shots.

On the other side, Villa started his career at the club with 4 many made after 35 shots and a pauper 11.42% effective (though two chuts the bottom may have changed that fact), while Bojan has not yet been released: zero goals in 10 games, five as a starter, 419 minutes without scoring despite their 10 shots, one of them to the wood. The difference between the two partners is abysmal, but it would be foolish to stay only in this timely portrait of a season that has just begun.

In the medium term, things are very different and relevant and reaches a different conclusion. Four scorers have an almost similar performance ratio: the Eto'o of Barca, Valencia Villa, Diego Forlan from Atletico and Bojan. Historical data from these four finishers ranged from 18.70% to Eto'o as Catalans and 17.26% as Atletico Forlan. The four are some distance, though not excessively, a Leo Messi clearly leads the ranking (19.76%) if we count his seven seasons in the first team and are well above the average obtained by Ibra on his brief tour Barcelona (15.07%), as happens in the case of Gonzalo Higuain (15.80%) in his four seasons at Real Madrid. However, the most surprising is that of Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United or not in the white box has exceeded 12% efficiency, a ratio alejadísimo of the best scorers in our championship.

The effectiveness of a scorer lies mainly in its aim, but not only there. Will significantly affect the environment in which they move: for Eto'o is not the same thing Pep Guardiola to Jose Mourinho's Inter, where he was relegated to a very hard-working and somewhat away from the area. A player can change dramatically depending on their ratios of the computer on which lines. Forlan, for example, managed to be 'Golden Shoe' with Villarreal despite accumulating only a 14.83% success rate, mean little relevance, and repeated award with Atletico Madrid and with a higher ratio of 17.26%. By contrast, transit through Manchester United has always been considered a failure even though his numbers were impressive: 26 goals in 66 shots in 37 games made, ie a 39.39% effective, all-time record for a striker in three seasons ... But Sir Alex Ferguson came off the Uruguayan without hesitation, disappointed by his performance.

Perceptions, therefore, misleading or contradictory when compared with the statistics. A player can apparently refused to goal and be getting better results than usual. Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, is more effective in what was Real Madrid for Manchester United, where he heads the list of scorers in the Premier League. The attacker collects luso 37 goals in the white box with a total of 314 shots and an effectiveness rate of 11.78%. Although the figure is low and even a few days ago generated controversy for its scoring drought, exceeds that accumulated in his six seasons in Manchester, where he scored 117 kills so many after 1162, with a poor 10.07% of success. Both rates are very low, indicating a structural cause: either congenital Portuguese has bad aim (which contradicts the visual perceptions) or abuse of the auction ineffective or low chance of becoming goal. Together Manchester and Madrid, Cristiano has an ERA of 10.43% to be considered as very weak. Their low contrast ratios with Messi, accumulating 135 goals with the first team achieved after 683 shots, a 19.76% effective ... the highest in the long run between the gunners of the elite European football.

Typically, however, is not the average poor Cristiano Ronaldo and the excellent Messi (a goal every five shots), but cherish figures close to 17% efficiency, ie somewhat by six shots. In these ratios move Eto'o, Villa and Bojan, as they approach Forlan them, Ibrahimovic and Higuain. Interestingly, the most effective of all is Bojan, who in the first team to accumulate 33 goals Blaugrana after 184 shots, with a 17.93% efficiency, the highest second only to Messi in the medium term. Almost at the same level is 17.82% Eto'o with a computed after passing through Barcelona and Inter, but for the time being as blaugrana ratio (18.70%) is much better than 'Nerazzurri' (14 , 20%). The new location has Rafa Benitez probably improve your data entrusted this season. Very close to Bojan and Eto'o figure David Villa with a 17.56% in the computation of the last six seasons the beginning of the current (always counting book club and not their selections).

As noted, Diego Forlan is a special case, because if contabilizáramos his peculiar way through the Manchester United reached an average 18.83% excellent, but we have seen that this brief period with Ferguson was, at least, irregular and controversial. Focusing on Spanish football, Uruguay got a 14.83 with Villarreal and has risen to 17.26% with Atletico, giving a total of 145 goals for both teams to 895 kills and a ratio of 16.20% . Slightly above the figure Uruguayan Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose data fluctuate considerably: 16.84% with Inter, 15.07% with Barca, Milan 20.83% to date and a total for their three teams of 16 54%: 90 goals in 544 shots.

Also near Ibra lies Forlan and Gonzalo Higuain, a striker who will always be accused of lack of accuracy and, more recently, the blatant selfishness. In his four seasons meringues, Argentina has added 67 much after 424 shots with a ratio of effectiveness of 15.80%, somewhat below the average of the best but not too far away, which contradicts the general perceptions about his awkwardness with net.

The statistics shows two conclusions: the existence of a select group of forwards with similar effectiveness to make Bojan, Eto'o, Villa, Forlan, Ibra and Higuain, whose ratios may vary depending upon the shape or location on your computer but keep steady regularity over the years in setting a goal for every 6 shots, and the striking disparity between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as if the Argentine achieves a goal every 5 shots, the Portuguese needed double top twice to achieve the same result.
