Team statistics are easy to find, but individual player numbers can sometimes reveal more about a matchup. A forward might be taking plenty of shots without scoring, or a midfielder might be creating chances despite the team's poor results. Do you use player statistics when analysing football markets? Which figures do you find most informative, and how do you account for changes in playing time or position?

Player metrics definitely give you an edge over surface-level team stats. I always look at expected goals (xG) and shots on target for strikers, especially when they are going through a goal drought. A forward getting three or four quality chances per game is bound to score soon regardless of overall team form. I usually track these individual stats on 1xBet alongside line-up confirmations right before kickoff.
