Trivia thread, the revival

[Evilo]

Here's a very interesting stat IMO (influenced by the strength of opponent though).
This season, against which team do teams defend the lowest position on the pitch?

1- EPL 36.61 meters
2- Buli 38.18
3- L1 38.81
4- Buli 38.86
5- EPL 39.05
6- EPL 39.88
7- Serie A 40.26
8- Serie A 40.42
9- Liga 40.48
10- L1 40.61

Doesn't mean these teams are always dominant. It can also mean defenses have identified those teams as weak on defending counters for instance. Or weak at breaking down low blocks. It can have multiple interpretations.

Just saw this on twitter, so I won't answer. 3 and 9 were surprises to me.

Chelsea's gotta be here, based on quality of competition and amount of possession.

 

[Savant]

Not to interrupt, but here is a fun one:

Who was the last player to be sent off for a second yellow card offense playing against Liverpool in the Premier League?

That's not fun, that's just bias

Yup

 

[Savant]

The correct answer is Sadio Mane on Southampton by the way; which was 301 matches ago. No other team has fewer than 5 of this occurrence in the same time period. Doesn’t mean bias inherently by that’s a hell of an outlier

Man City is 1
Bayern is 2
Rennes is 3 (based on the comments by @bluesfan94)
BVB is 4
Arsenal is 5
Chelsea is 6
Napoli is 7
Inter is 8
Real Sociedad or Bilbao is 9 (based on the comments by @bluesfan94)
PSG is 10

If I understood the question correctly.

I filled in correct guesses thus far.

 

[Evilo]

Only two teams in the history of the CL have avoided defeat after giving up the opening goal at least 6 games in a row.
Name them.

My guess is Lens is one.

And then I'll go AC Milan

 

[Evilo]

Lens has 6.
The other is not Milan. They have 8.

Haaland, Nunez, Watkins are the EPL three. I was looking this up yesterday after Haaland missed a couple huge chances.

Prolific strikers tend to get a fair number, so I'll guess Haaland, Kane, Watkins, Nunez, Guirassy, Lewandowski, Joselu, Mbappe, David, and Morata.

EDIT: Thinking about it more, Guirassy has been in such a purple patch of finishing, so it probably isn't him, but I'll leave my guesses (even though I see that I left out at least Boniface)

3 left to find out.

 

[luiginb]

Wirtz, Torres, Dembele

 

[Evilo]

Wirtz, Torres, Dembele

None

 

[gary69]

Leipzig create a lot of chances, so they're bound to miss some of them too. A

lthough 11 is quite a lot for one player, I would guess their misses are more by the committee of their attacking players. I'll still say Openda.

2 (hard) left to find out. I added the goals to help a bit.

Mbappe has been sooooo clinical.

 

[Evilo]

Which goalie has seen his posts save him 21 times all competitions this season?
It's a record in the top 5 leagues.

I want to sah Onana

it’s a crap shoot tbh

Donnarumma?

 

[Evilo]

Nope and nope.

Since it's a really hard question I'll give some hints :
1/ Goalie's team played in League, Europe and Cup competitions
2/ Goalie is very young and among the best statistically (and on the eye too) in his league
