1. Daryl Murphy (Ipswich): 23 goals

Dayl MurphyDaryl Murphy’s 23 goals this term is a vast improvement over the 13 goals he chalked off in the 2013/14 campaign for Ipswich after his free transfer move from Scottish giants Celtic. After a slow start with only one solitary goal in his first five games, Murphy picked up and scored 17 times in his next 21 games. In his last 11 games, Daryl Murphy has scored five goals to complete his tally so far at 23 goals. Bearing this all in mind and looking at his 23 goals already, what can we glean from this and what might his end of season totals be?

  • 23 goals in 3,244 minutes of play
  • Over season so far 0.60 goals per 90 minutes
  • Over season so far 57 shots on target (1.6 shots per 90 minutes)
  • Shots on target (SoTa) conversion 40.35%

Looking at the above season returns, it would suggest that Daryl Murphy would likely score: 4.2 more goals (using the ‘goals per 90 minutes’ return) or 4.5 more goals (using the ‘shots per 90’ to SoTa conversion).

Projected end-of-season tally: 27 goals
