United's chart topping hits!
Manchester United players are among the top of the carts of Actim Index. Several United (and ex) players like Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Evin Van Der Sar are listed as among the best in the premiership.
According to premierleague.com,
"Actim Index is the brand name for the official data of the FA Premier League, The Football League and the Scottish Premier League.
The data is used to produce Actim Stats. Actim Stats are a collection of team, player and match statistics.
They are derived from all the actions that take place during a match, including goals, shots on target, corners, fouls, offsides, passes, tackles, blocks and clearances.
The raw data can be used to generate a wide range of tables and statistics such as player profiles, team and player head to heads and form guides."
From the data taken from last season's matches, Van Der Sar is the top goalkeeper leaving behind Petr Cech and Jens Lehman with 5.68 points
Rio Ferdinand has proven his worth to be world's best defender by chart toping the Actim index of defenders with 6.24 points.
Only Thierry Henry and Frank lamphard have more points than Nistelrooy who is at number two of the striker index with 6.85 points. Van Nistelrooy has been no.1 at the chart several months before Alex Ferguson decided not to use him in the starting eleven.
Meanwhile, Rooney is at no 5 of the striker index with 5.61 points.
