New defensive stats and awards for School and Olympic Tournaments

Hello dear Captain Tsubasa fans!

After a couple of years with minor additions in terms of matches (due to the slow publication of Rising Sun storyline), we have some exciting updates for you.

We have added two new statistical attributes to our database for all the games of the Elementary School, Middle School and Olympic Game matches. The two of them are defensive statistics:

  • Stops: Goalkeeper saves and field-player blocks (blocking of shots that could potentially be a goal)  Represented by an X as its icon.
  • Clean sheets: Awarded to goalkeepers, defenders and defensive midfielders when their team does not concede a goal (and they play at least half of the match). Represented by a white shirt as its icon.

These new stats have allowed us to create a new ranking for “Best Defensive Player“, based on “defensive points” awarded to defenders and defensive midfielders. Defensive points stat follows the following formula, and is represented by a shield as its icon:

  • Defensive Points = Clean Sheets + Stops + Goals + Assists – Own Goals – Red Cards

We have added this new ranking for the following tournaments:

In the coming months we will add the new defensive statistical information for the missing matches and the best defensive player award for the rest of the tournaments.

Olympic Games (Rising Sun)

We are happy to announce that our database has been updated with the information of all the matches of the Olympic Games Tournament published in the Rising Sun timeline. This means that Captain Tsubasa Stats is finally up to date, with the information of every game, player and team that appears in the manga.

The first game of the Madrid Olympic Games men’s tournament matches the host nation (Spain) against Cameroon. The story then covers the group stage of the tournament, with the focus in Japan‘s group (C), but also showing glimpses of what happened in group D, where Brazil and Germany where placed.

As of today, only the first two matches of the knockout stage have taken place. They are the following quarterfinal games:

The match between our heroes and the german team was an incredible battle that went to the extra time. During the game twelve goals were scored, five players had to leave the pitch due to injury, and the referee booked six german players.

In the end, Tsubasa managed to lead Japan to the victory and the next round (semifinals), where they will face the powerhouse Spain.

Apart from the new data about the Olympic Games, we have added new information to our database:

  • Injuries: If a player is injured during a game and has to leave the field because of this, it is recorded in the stats (heart-shaped icon).
  • Venues: When the stadium where a match took place is known, it is marked in the game recap and some match lists.
  • Minute of highlights: When the exact moment of an important play is known (goals, bookings, injuries), now the minute is displayed in the boxscore.
  • Minutes played: The total minutes played by each character is displayed in the player lists. An elementary school match is 40 minutes long, a middle school match is 60 minutes, and the rest are 90 minutes. Some matches may be longer if there is relevant loss time or extra time.

This new information will be updated onto previous content over the next few weeks.

We hope that you enjoy Captain Tsubasa Stats and thank you for your support.
