    Sorry if this has been posted already.

    Boca was rated the best defender at Fulham for the month of October. Story on FFC's official site . He was 3rd overall behind Dead Snake and Pembridge.

    The OPTA ratings are amazingly in depth, quantifying soccer at baseball statistics level.
    Course, that means I'm not a fan.
    Still, I suppose they do show rather conclusively that he's playing very well, and that his offensive game is looking pretty good. anyone have any idea who his ranking stacks up to other defenders around the league.

    this doesn't answer your question but it does give a couple of indicators of how far from the leader (gasp, it's Silvestre) he is.

    Just to finally settle the score, I'd love to see Armas' stats to this degree.

    And for all USMNT players, both in the internationals and in MLS play.

    Naturally, but historically there have been so many Armas sucks/rules threads I was just thinking of eliminating them. And in order to compare him to other USMNT players, we would need more of them to be assessed to the same level.

    Uhm...
    You're right.
    He's no. 3 on the team. But then, take out all the players ahead of him who don't line up as Defenders... you're back at No.1... making Boca the Best Fulham Defender (YEA!)

    ... according to the BCS of Footie.
