N2  - Football is at the dawn of a data revolution. From passes complete ratios to average transfer fees, the game has now been blitzed with statistics, but mostly they only confuse and hide the real story. 'The Numbers Game' uncovers the figures and percentages that really matter, as Chris Anderson and David Sally explain why preventing a goal is more important than scoring one, why taking too many shots may kill you, and why it is better to improve your worst player than buy a superstar
