Just for a change here are a few statistics which are as unexpected as they are pleasing - - John Arne Riise failed to convert either of two clear chances against Chelsea. Nevertheless, the left-back has an unmatched rate of shooting accuracy amongst his teammates with 90% of his shots being on target so far this season. This is much better than Dimitar Berbatovâs sixteen from twenty-eight (just over 57 percent). - Steve Sidwell endured a frustrating time at Stamford Bridge, but is the only player in the entire league to have notched up 40 successful tackles this season according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index. - Dimitar Berbatov has arguably been Fulhamâs standout player of the season so far. The Bulgarian is capable of strong defensive play as well as getting forward, heâs made 32 interceptions at a rate of one every 28.5 minutes this season, a rate that is unmatched by any of his team mates. - Aaron Hughes has been fantastic in his reading of the game at the back for Fulham this season. He currently sits third on the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index for interceptions with a huge 103.
