How does Vincent Janssen compare to other strikers?


The Squawka Comparison Matrix is a useful tool for comparing different players as the same criteria is used thus you get a direct comparison. You can argue what statistics should and shouldn't be used but one that should be taken note of is the number of shots.

Vincent Janssen showed last season that increasing the number of shots increases the goals, the more you shoot, the more opportunities you have to score, if memory serves he had 56 shots in the first half of the season and 96 in the second, where he scored all his goals, only 6 before 2016. It is frustrating when players over play things and try to score the perfect goal.
