Early Inferences from ISL 2016: Brief interpretation of stats

 Chennayin FC

Chennayin has scored the maximum of 5 goals and has been very clinical. However, luck factor hasn’t been going for them. The first win came in their third game against a team that is reeling at the bottom of the table. Currently, Chennayin is just outside the top 4. Raphael Augusto has been really impressive this season as well, with the highest pass completion rate (89.2%) in this ISL and has picked up an assist until now.

Best Player: Jeje Lalpekhlua (2 assists and 2 shots on target in 2 games)

FC Pune City

They have been a typical mid-table team with no consistency. With 2 losses and a win, the team needs to improve all its departments in order to get qualified for the next round. They require an average 13.5 shots for every goal in this season of ISL, which is very low.

Best Player: Mohamed Sissoko (12 tackles)

Kerala Blasters FC

This is the only team which is yet to open its scoring account. The Blasters have played 3 matches and have the lowest successful pass completion at the rate of 69%. Also, the shots per game at 6 stands at the lowest among all clubs.

Best Player: Mehtab Hussain (11 tackles)

FC Goa

FC Goa is at a precarious position in the table. The team has lost all the three games. The offense has been a little unlucky to be honest. With the highest shots on target/ game, they were still able to score a lone goal only in all their 3 games combined. So Goa will hope their fortunes change soon. However, defensively they have leaked the most goals in this tournament thus far and have to buck up.

Best Player: Rafael Coelho Luiz ( 1 goal and 4 shots on target)
