Galbraith is expected to start for Stoke against Swansea, the club he left for £11.66m this summer. He makes 1.51 tackles and contests 9.19 player duels per 90 minutes, but commits only 0.85 fouls and has been booked in 11% of his games.
Why check the substitutes before backing a player statistic?
Because the best numbers are often on the bench. In Stoke vs Swansea, Franco leads the fixture for both fouls drawn and tackles, Vipotnik for shots and Boženík for fouls committed. None of the four is in the expected line-up, and a top-five table will not tell you that.
