Anthony Martial Exposed

A thread:

First let’s start with his G/A in the premier league:
2015/16: 11G 4A 0.35G per game, 239 minutes per goal, 0.13A per game, 658 minutes per assist
2016/17: 4G 6A 0.16G per game, 390 minutes per goal, 0.24A per game, 259 minutes per assist

2017/18: 9G 5A 0.3G per match, 176 minutes per goal, 0.16A per match, 316 minutes per assist
2018/19: 10G 2A 0.37G per match, 162 minutes per goal, 0.07A per match, 812 minutes per assist

2019/20: 11G 3A 0.48G per match, 171 minutes per goal, 0.13A per match, 628 minutes per assist
Anthony Martial has never had a season with above 15G/A in his 5 seasons in England.
Every other top 6 starting striker reached that tally in their first full season in the prem.

Now compare his all time premier league goalscoring tally with other ‘top’ attackers in the premier league since 2015:
Martial 45G 0.33G per match, 206 minutes per goal
Aguero: 102G 0.72G per match, 104 minutes per goal
Aubameyang: 49G 0.65G per match, 124 minutes per goal

Kane: 112G 0.73G per match, 118 minutes per goal
Vardy: 94G 0.56G per match, 151 minutes per goal
Lacazette: 34G 0.39G per match, 177 minutes per goal
Jesus: 37G 0.4G per match, 126 minutes per goal
As you can see, his tally is significantly worse

Even compare Martials goal tally to premier league attackers who aren’t considered to be ‘top’ strikers:
Martial: 45G 0.33G per match, 206 minutes per goal
Giroud: 39G 0.3G per match, 151 minutes per goal
Chris Wood: 31G 0.35G per match, 203 minutes per goal

Martials record for his country:
Interntl Friendlys: 1G 4A 0.07G per match, 625 minutes per goal, 0.3A per match, 156 minutes per assist
Euros: 0G 0A, 0G per match, 0 minutes per goal, OA per match, 0 minutes per goal
WC Qual: 0G 0A, 0G/A per match, 0 minutes per goal and assist.

Martial Vs Firmino is a big debate on this platform:
Premier League:
Martial: 45G 20A 136Apps, 0.33G per match, 206 minutes per goal, 0.15A per match, 464 minutes per assist
Firmino: 56G 34A 0.34G per match, 230 minutes per goal, 0.21A per match, 378 minutes per assist.

So right now it’s close? I’ll now compare their record in Europe:
Martial
EL: 5G 0A 0.27G per match, 199 minutes per goal, 0A per match, 0 minutes per assist
CL: 4G 3A 0.14G per match, 445 minutes per match, 0.1G per match, 593 minutes per assist

Now compared to Firmino:
EL: 1G 3A 0.08G per match, 931 minutes per goal, 0.23A per match, 310 minutes per assist
CL: 15G 13A 0.46G per match, 162 minutes per goal, 0.4A per match, 187 minutes per assist

It’s really no debate who’s better
