So far SC East Bengal has played 6 games in the present season of Hero ISL. Let us look at some basic facts and figures depicting the performance of the team and our players.
Assumptions: Only the players having at least 100 minutes of game time have been considered
Goals Scored
East Bengal has scored 3 goals so far. 2 of them were scored by Jacques Maghoma against Hyderabad FC. 1 was an own goal in the match against Kerala Blasters (conceded by Bakary Kone ).
Goals Conceded
In six matches that we have played, the team conceded 11 goals. It is the highest among the ISL teams.
Passing Accuracy
This is calculated by dividing the total number of accurate passes made by the player by the total number of passes where he was involved (calculated in percentage term).
Scott Neville is leading the chart (81.07) for East Bengal followed by Danny Fox (79.56) and Wahengbam Luwang (73.33). Balwant Singh’s passing accuracy is lowest among our players (45.23).
Contribution on Attack/Goal Bound Movements
This indicator reflects the contribution of a player on attack/goal-bound movements. To arrive at this indicator, firstly the number of goal-bound shots and crosses were added and then the addition was divided by playing time of the player (calculated in percentage term). The more the value, the better the contribution of the player on the attack.
Anthony Pilkington (5) is leading here for East Bengal followed by Mohammed Rafique (3.78). Surchandra Singh (3.33) Jacques Maghoma(3.15) are 3rd and 4th in the list.
Contribution on Defence
This indicator depicts the contribution of a player in negating opponent’s attack. To arrive at this indicator, firstly the number of tackles, inceptions, clearances and blocks were added and then the addition was divided by playing time of the player (calculated in percentage term).
Like the previous indicator, the more the value, the better the contribution of the player on defence. As expected, defenders are leading the chart with Danny Fox at the top (15.50) followed by Mohammed Irshad (13.50) and Sehnaj Singh (10.27). Scott Neville and Surchandra Singh also have higher scores in this regard.

Out of the 11 saves he made, 7 were from inside the box. He saved 1 penalty against Hyderabad FC from Aridane Santana.
