Why has he scored so poorly compared to Kompany and Hart. Every time they get 7s Richards gets a 6 unless he's a nine then he gets a 7!

Very annoying.

Could it be the age old Centre Back v Full Back scoring theory?

Theres a tab in my historical stats showing FB v CB over the years.

zarch-complete-sun-dt-player-stats-1998-2010-updated-09-10-t75192.html

Plus rotation.. I dont know off the top fo my head but i bet hes only played 60-70% of the games Kompany and Hart have

And injury.

whos the highest scoring rb or lb this season without looking at the stats

kyle walker ?

could well be.. only baines comes to mind for me

19 listed
5 Full-Backs
14 Centre-Backs

The theory holds water once again!

Just from watching a few games/highlights.....I feel as a centre back, he makes important last man blocks quite often which stand out. As Richards is a full-back he does not get to make spectacular blocks in front of the goal. Kompany commands a much more dangerous area in the centre than Richards does on the wing.

I think with Dream Team 1 memorable moment can help players get a 7/10.

hence the CB v FB argument which 9/10 favours CB.
