Shahanga Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 has the same goals per game ratio as David Williams, who has probably had way more starts off the benchoverratedAccording to my records:David Williams 91* Games, 6108 Minutes, 21* Goals, 0.23 Goals/game, 287 minutes/ goalEli Babalj 44 Games, 2495 Minutes, 12 Goals, 0.27 Goals/game, 208 minutes/ goalSo Babalj has a significantly greater (about 25% better in fact) strike rate in terms of minutes/goal than Williams.Incidentally in season 2 Babalj scored 9 goals (0.41/game, goal every 177 minutes) where as in season 4 Williams scored 12 goals (0.46/game, goal every 161 minutes) * club record holderThe club's highest strike rate (min 5 goals) is held by Orlando Engelaar (5 goals, 0.42/game, 158min/goal). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrillhouse Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 33 in the season he got 12, 1 each in 2 previous seasons if wiki is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 3 in the season he got 12, 1 each in 2 previous seasons if wiki is rightyou Are probably right. I didn't start collecting penalty info straight away. not sure why you asked though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) you Are probably right. I didn't start collecting penalty info straight away. not sure why you asked though.Because there's surely a strong argument that comparison between strikers is not apples with apples if you include penalty goals? Deduct Williams' penalty goals and Babalj is the better striker. Edited July 26, 2015 by jw1739 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Becaaue there's surely a strong argument that comparison between strikers is not apples with apples if you include penalty goals? Deduct Williams' penalty goals and Babalj is the better striker.But he asked me then pointed out I was wrong! Now if you know the answer, why ask the question.........

Shahanga Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Fair enough. Incidentally I have 2 pens for Willo in 2013-2014 and 1 last year. Don't have an easy way to check this though, apart from going through game by game and am not really motivated to do that, so there is no particular reason that I'm right and wiki is wrong.Pretty sure Eli scored at least 1 himself, though like I said, I didn't keep records of it. Regardless I do rate Eli higher than Willo, though like most I am concerned by his abject failure in Europe and the use of time honoured excuses like "the coach who signed me left".

cadete Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Who cares if Eli is better than Willow as far as I am concerned that conversation is about the struggling Melbourne Heart and not the cashed up Melbourne City.Melbourne Heart were killed off and so I was left having to either not watch A-League or support its replacement in Melbourne City and if I have to do so then personally I feel they at least owe me a Striker of more consistency and pedigree than a David Williams or a Eli Babalj. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
