17 – Yamela Mbuthuma (Richards Bay)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nLike any stats, these should all be understood in context. Stats are merely a guide on where to focus decision-making (in this case awards) and not the be-all and end-all of player analysis. A player like Rushwin Dortley has been called upon to cover defensively for a porous Spurs side that\u00a0have\u00a0conceded 43 goals this season. As such, you find him as the outright leader for tackles, tackles won, and interceptions among young players. Other defenders like Asekho Tiwani who have been part of stable defences, may not have needed to make tackles and interceptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teams with less possession (Spurs average the lowest this season) may defend more & their defenders will have more tackles & interceptions. Plus, not all good defending is tangible: for example, shielding a striker away from a danger zone. That said, when we see some common names popping up constantly in the key metrics, that can\u2019t be ignored. In addition to the above, Dortley (2nd), Rhodes (3rd), Okon (4th), Mofokeng (5th) & Ramabu (6th) are also in the top ranks for passes. Campbell (4th), Rhodes (3rd), and Ramabu (1st) are also in the Top 5 U21 players for winning possession in the final third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
