* Steven Ugarković was set as the VPM value benchmark.
** All midfielders were chosen off Wyscout’s Index list of best midfielders in the Aleague for the 2019/20 season.
*** Ugarković’s value as estimated by Transfermarkt was broken down y his attacking and defensive VPM total, not the Overall.
**** All other players were judged against Ugarkovic’s VPM value not their own Transfermarkt value.
***** The VPM value assigns a financial value to the statistical output of a player’s playing time. Age, contract, club etc. are not taken into account. For example, if Ugarković scores a VPM rating of 22 and 22 equals X per point then the other midfielders will have their points equal the same value.
****** The VPM is customised to the league. Every data point is weighted against league averages/norms. VPM Value is set by a benchmark player in midfield, defense and attack. These players were rated by their 2019/20 statistics.
******* WR indicates how many attempted actions a player has per minute.
