Hull Players In Actim Index Top 100

WINDASS STEALS THE SHOW

– Veteran Striker Records Second-Highest Score in Actim Index –

Dean Windass` two goals and overall performance against Birmingham City last weekend has seen the veteran striker record the second highest score of the week in The Actim Index – the Official Player Ratings of the Coca-Cola Championship.

37-year-old Windass, who posed a constant physical threat throughout the match, amassed 49 Index points against the Blues. He scored his first goal from 10 yards after Ray Parlour played an excellent through ball, and then hit his second from the penalty spot after Nicky Forster was brought down in the box.

Actim Stats reveal that, since his return to the Tigers, Windass has contributed two goals, 14 shots, one interception, one dribble, three crosses and 49 passes in 364 minutes of first team football.

Boaz Myhill remains Hull City`s highest-ranking player in the Actim Index in 48th position overall. The 24-year-old USA goalkeeper made a smart save to deny a long-range Gary McSheffrey effort last Saturday. So far this season he has made 218 saves and kept eight clean sheets.

The Actim Index is calculated using a unique mathematical formula that rates each player`s contribution be it goals, shots, passes, dribbles, tackles, crosses, saves, clearances, blocks, interceptions, time on the pitch or number of points gained by the team with marks deducted for red and yellow cards. Two additional calculations, which take account of player assists and goalkeeper`s clean sheets, have been added for the new season to increase the amount of variables a player is now measured by.

Analysis of all Championship games is taking place throughout the season and so far the top five Hull City players are:
