Luke Shaw VS João Cancelo

[Thread]

Goalscoring:
Although we shouldn't base our opinions on fullbacks off of goalscoring, its worth a look.
| 1 Goal From 0.5xG (0.04 from 0.02p90)
| 1 Gaol from 1.8xG (0.04 from 0.08p90)

Expected Assists:
| 4.6 (0.20 per 90)
| 4.9 (0.18 per 90)

Cancelo is better off here due to his higher xAp90.

Shot-Creating Actions:
| 102 (3.85p90)
| 65 (2.87p90)

Goal-Creating Actions:
| 11 (0.42p90)
| 7 (0.31p90)

As we can see Shaw is by far the better player in this category.

Tackle Breakdown:
(Flag)| Tackles | Def 3rd (% Of Total)| Mid 3rd (% Of Total)| Att 3rd (% Of Total)|

| 70 | 37 (53%)| 25 (36%) | 8 (11%)
| 55 | 26 (47%)| 20 (36%) | 9 (16%)

João Cancelo is the best in that category, although it's worth to note that despite having 15 more tackles, he only has 1 more than Shaw in the attacking 3rd. 89% of his tackles come in the def and mid 3rd while it's 83 for Shaw.

João Cancelo and Luke Shaw are two of the best full-backs in England this season, with both having made significant improvements since last season. Who you prefer probably depends in what you are looking for in a full-back. Personally, I'd take Shaw but it's definitely debatable.
