I was bored at the weekend so started playing with some stats for this season’s games and I came up with the table of data at the foot of this mail! Unsurprisingly, it confirmed that Liverpool are the LMS jinx team! Along with City, they have been picked in in the most rounds this season (19 times) and have resulted in 10 sets of eliminations against just 9 where they progressed! Bournemouth have some interesting stats – they have only been picked twice (joint lowest with Forest) but are the only team to have a 100% progression rate. Interestingly, Bournemouth are also the team that has caused most LMS exits this season (12 times) but have also been on the receiving end of the most LMS progressions (13)!! I’ll maintain this going forward and will find a place on the website for it somewhere as I know there will be other data geeks like me that will have an interest!!
