Thats what i thought but checking the teams head to heads they are current.

Tickle has missed more tackles than it says FC have. How does that work?

Maybe it's an average from your whole side?

An average per game?

I doubt that looking at Saints on there.

It may be an aggreagte of actual missed tackles. ie there may have been 3 individual missed tackles on tackle 3 but it only counts as one missed tackle for the team if it results in a try.

Whatever it is i think its misleading.

Yup indeededoo.

Even i don't understand what i've just wrote

Individual stats should not be used in isolation.

In Murrell's case, he is the top tackler (according to the Opta stats on Sky) so the more tackles you attempt, the more you are likely to miss.

Given the number of tackles he attempts per match, fatigue will explain some of those misses especially as he often plays the full 80 mins.

Yup, most of us already understand the 'context' needed around any stats without viewing in isolation. Still doesnt add clarity to the team stats mentioned above though!
