Without a doubt. It is incredibly hard to successfully vacuum stats. I think basketball actually goes too far in this because some of the stats are misleading.

I also do not really look at soccer stats because soccer does not inherently come to me, since I never played and only garnered true interest in 2010. I may have trouble deciphering which stats really matter when it comes to outfield plays. Goalie stats are easy though.

A major stat being thrown about recently is second-pass completion percentage. It's a good metric for determining how a player impacts possession. Explained here

I imagine guys like Xavi and Busquets have insanely high rates in this metric.

I wish I could find the secondary completion stats for Jermaine Jones. I've seen him give other players "hospital balls" way too many times.
