Defensive Stats Update for International School Tournaments

Dear Captain Tsubasa fans,

We have included defensive statistics (stops and clean sheets) for every game that happened during the high school timeline and what was missing from previous timelines. This which includes: International Junior Youth Tournament, the Asian Tournament and the World Youth Tournament. As a reminder, these are the new statistical attributes:

  • 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.

Based on these stats we have added a new ranking for “Best Defensive Player“, based on “defensive points” awarded only to defenders (DF) and defensive midfielders (DM). The ¨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 remaining tournaments.
