Another simple statistic... Here players are ranked by their average
position in two tables: the goalscorer one and the league one (the
latter is for teams, of course).

EPL
1. D. Drogba 1
2. W. Rooney 2
3. F. Lampard 3
4. C. Tévez 4.5
5. J. Defoe 5
6. Cesc Fábregas 5.5
7. F. Malouda 6.5
7. Fernando Torres 6.5
9. E. Adebayor 7
9. D. Berbatov 7
11. N. Anelka 7.5
12. G. Agbonlahor 8
12. D. Bent 8
13. L. Saha 9
14. J. Carew 10.5

Bundesliga
1. S. Kießling 3
1. K. Kuranyi 3
1. A. Robben 3
4. L. Barrios 4
4. T. Müller 4
4. C. Pizarro 4
7. E. Džeko 4.5
8. I. Olic 6
9. Cacau 6.5
10. E. Derdiyok 7.5

Not the best wording around, admittedly... It's just this: if Milito
is 2nd in the goalscorer table and Inter is 1st in the (point) table,
then Milito's average position is 1.5.

Bundesliga
2007: 1. M. Gómez 2. K. Kuranyi, R. Makaay

Does such a method work in the context of a very short tournament like
the World Cup? You decide:

2006: 1. Zidane (Golden Ball), Klose, Henry
[Pirlo (Bronze Ball) out of the ranking. Cannavaro (Silver Ball) is a
defender]

2002: 1. Ronaldo (SB) 2. Rivaldo 3. Klose
[Kahn (GB) was a keeper, Hong Myung-Bo (BB) a defender]

1998: 1. Suker (SB) 2. Ronaldo (GB) 3. Batistuta, Vieri
[Thuram (BB) not in the top 4]

1994: 1. Romario (GB) 2. Baggio (SB), Stoitchkov (BB)

1990: 1. Schillaci (GB), Matthäus (SB) 2. Skuhravy, Lineker
[Maradona (BB) not in the ranking]

1986: 1. Maradona (GB) 2. Lineker, Valdano
[Elkjær-Larsen (BB) not in the top 6. Schumacher (SB) was a keeper]

1982: 1. Rossi (GB) 2. Rummenigge (BB) 3. Boniek
[6. Falcao (SB)]

1978: 1. Kempes (GB) 2. Rensenbrink 3. Luque
[5. Dirceu (BB) 8. Rossi (SB). Awards given retrospectively]

BTW, I didn't stop here intentionally, but it would have been a good
advertising choice: West Germany 1974 is the first WC in which no
player awarded by FIFA is among the top 3 players in my ranking! :)
