Player Analysis

Downing for England!

With Roy Hodgson set to announce his England squad this Thursday our very own Stewart Downing deserves a spot due to his excellent form so far this season. This isn’t a West Ham biased viewpoint but the findings of online fantasy football game www.oulala.com.

Downing currently sits as the second best performing Englishman on Oulala and as the best performing English midfielder. With it’s diverse scoring matrix of 70 different statistics sourced directly from Opta the fantasy game is able to compare on the field actions on a much broader scale than the usual basic goals, assists and clean sheets. The positive and negative Opta sourced statistics are then converted into points which are based on years of previous seasonal data. This season Downing has scored 2 goals, assisted 3 further goals, completed 25 successful crosses and assisted 24 more shots on goal. The midfielder has also helped out the Hammers defensively completing 14 clearances and making 10 interceptions.

As currently the second best English player behind Everton’s Leighton Baines on current form, 11 Stewart Downing’s would make the national team a pretty mean outfit. However we’ll settle for one though.

Oulala is a free to play, weekly European fantasy football game offering cool prizes to it’s top three managers every week. Oulala offers unique features such as a diverse scoring matrix and live in-play substitutions making it the closest fantasy football has ever got to reality. To register and play click here
