Completely agree. Even yesterday someone suggested his pass completion is only high because he does Sammy clingan type passes, which is complete nonsense. He always looks for the forward pass first, and rarely goes back or sidewards, only doing so when he has no options or movement infront of him.

He has been doing it all season. His numbers for winning the ball back & progressing it are exceptional, literally among the best in the league. I've always maintained people just didn't understand the type of player he is.

Hamer though! 20% progressive passes and close to 50 passes a game!
I do struggle with any “data” which has Hyam as the third best centre back in the league

Grimes is doing a pass every minute?
I mean tbf he'd been written off by cc84 so anybody with as different opinion was nailed on to be proven rightOne thing that is certain , is that he's better than several posters on here make him out to be
To be fair you need a mix in a team, he should have done 2 categories - best progressive centre backs, and the best defensive centre backsThat's using his model which weights certain characteristics higher than others to try & find a specific type of Centre Back. Because of Hyam's role for us he does a lot of progressing the ball so scores highly.
So Ostigard and JCS really should be top targets in the summer
Thanks, No McFadzean or Rose. I think you're right in your earlier post that its the role Hyam plays, being right sided centre back and your natural pass is forward and wide to the wingback.
Unless I misunderstood it, the flaw in his recent rankings is CBs playing in 2 vs a back 3. The wide CBs in a 3 have quite a different role, especially in possession, and will have more emphasis on ball carrying and progressive passing so weighting certain characteristics higher than others gives an unfair advantage to those playing left or right in a 3.That's using his model which weights certain characteristics higher than others to try & find a specific type of Centre Back.
