Discover football's astonishing hidden rules in The Numbers Game by
Chris Anderson and David Sally *Fully updated with a new World Cup
chapter* Football has always been a numbers game: 4-4-2, the big
number 9 and 3 points for a win. But what if up until now we've
been focusing on the wrong numbers? What if the numbers that really
matter, the ones that hold the key to winning matches, are actually
2.66, 53.4, 50/50, and 0 > 1? What if managers only make a 15%
difference? What if Chelsea should have bought Darren Bent? In this
incisive, myth-busting book, Chris Anderson, former goalkeeper
turned football statistics guru, and David Sally, former baseball
pitcher turned behavioural economist, show that every shred of
knowledge we can gather can help us to love football and understand
it even more. You'll discover why stopping a goal is more valuable
than scoring one, why corners should be taken short, and why it is
better to improve your worst player than to buy a superstar. You'll
never play, or watch, a game of football in quite the same way
again. The Numbers Game is essential reading for football fans
everywhere and will also appeal to readers who loved Moneyball and
Freakonomics.
