Each cell is what that club’s forwards in that position produce per match, against what the opposition concedes to that position — and the two ranks beneath them, out of 20. First rank 1 produces the most; second rank 1 concedes the most. So a low pair is a good attack meeting a soft defence, which is the matchup worth finding. A substitute counts towards the position he usually starts in, because the source names a position only for players who start and substitutes are a fourteenth of this league’s goals.
