Luke Shaw VS João Cancelo

[Thread]

Goalscoring:
Although we shouldn& #39;t base our opinions on fullbacks off of goalscoring, its worth a look.

Cancelo is better off here due to his higher xAp90.

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)|

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇵🇹" title="Flagge von Portugal" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Portugal"> | 70 | 37 (53%)| 25 (36%) | 8 (11%)

João Cancelo is the best in that category, although it& #39;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& #39;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& #39;d take Shaw but it& #39;s definitely debatable.
