Actim index - Open to intepretation.....

I've never been a huge fan of the ACTIM Index as I fail to see the relevance of these type of statistics. The only point I can see is to make it easier for our cousins across the pond to get a little more into "soccer".

At any rate, I was browsing various sites and found these latest figures. Would be interesting to read how you lads would intepret them... I'm betting that everyone and their dog would have vastly different takes on these.... I'll post mine later.... I've posted these to see the reaction and get your opinions on the relevance of these stats in seeing their applicability to the current performance and league position of LFC at the mo.

Strikers..

1 Benjani Mwaruwari    Portsmouth    187.00
2 Emmanuel Adebayor  Arsenal         169.00

4 Nicolas Anelka         Bolton           148.00

Midifielders..

1 Francesc Fabregas    Arsenal         208.00
2 Blumer Elano            Man City       194.00
3 Martin Petrov           Man City       170.00
4 Charles N'Zogbia       Newcastle     150.00
5 John Utaka              Portsmouth    141.00

Defenders..

1 Rio Ferdinand           Man Utd       160.00
2 Gael Clichy              Arsenal         140.00

Couldn't find anything for Goalkeepers.

Its like employment figures. Go on new deal for a few months then your classed as employed and the statistics look good even though your still claiming benefits ! They may look interesting but in actual fact....they aint.
