Will compare their PL numbers:

Saka 12 goals and 10 assists
rashford 15 goals and 4 assist.

Saka edging it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What are their overall numbers? As it wouldn’t be limited to the Premiership in this context.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
true but its prob the fairest way to judge... in the same competition level against the same teams. If your gonna compare them that has to be the fairest comparison surely.

These comparison articles are rubbish.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this one is actually decent, two reasonably similar level players, play in similar positions doing similar things.

they do it differently but there is defo comparison to be had.

Saka having the better season as stats will show.

the other telling factor is that Saka is 21 , Rashford 25
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I donno I think these articles on this forum never really go anywhere and just descend into rival fans calling each others team and players rubbish, usually. But as of right now I haven't checked out the comments, so maybe I'm wrong on this one
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah usually you need to filter through the usual crap, however, there is some genuine stuff to take note from.

Both are great players there is no shame in Rashford perhaps being a little less effective than Saka its hardly a slight on either player.

Saka is a big time bottle merchant, cost his country the Euros and his team the Premier League.

Rashford wins on the count that matters. Medals.

If it's an open, end to end game, then rashford.

If it's against a low block, then saka, as he is more creative.

Can't compare really as people play different number of games etc .Best metric is to compare the same competition where players play the same amount of games, its the fairest way to do it.

England are lucky to have both, and the fact that they and Kane can work together really well as a front three. I love Rashford, but as of now suspect Saka might have gone further by the time their careers are over. He's a superb player, and we'll be lucky if Antony ends up being 75% as good as him.

It is if you want to manipulate stats to an agenda. They have both played in the cup competitions as well.

The premise here is who would you like to bring on to win you a game. It was not premier league specific.

I would be quite happy to bring on either player, myself.

no but if you wanna suggest one is better than the other statistically, then it has to be the fairest comparison which has to be the stats against the same level of opposition and teams.

If you are gonna start comparing stats from different levels of competition that both are in then its pointless, cos you could just pluck any name out any random league who is producing the numbers and argue they are better which is pointless.

Has Saka even written a novel?

I wouldn't be bringing either on as they'd both be starting.

No it is the fairest way of doing it, if anything you are trying to manipulate stats.

Someone could play fa cup first round v man city (like chelsea did) or play oldham. It's not a fair comparison.

Also someone could play double the games the other player. The PL both players play the same team, if not injured, play the same amount of games etc.

So once we have the best way to compare the two, then we can judge who we'd want to bring on no matter what competition they are in.

If we don't compare from the same league then you might as well say you'll take andy cook from bradford over rashford or saka. it's silly.

im not manipulating anything nothing is changed the stats are the stats. the level of competition its against has to be considered and since both players have a level playing field to compare them statistically (that also happens to be biggest in terms of sample size. Its clearly the fairest way to compare them.

I get it your a Man Utd fan and dont wanna seem like your admitting he is a lesser player. you want to include lower level League matches and europa cup matches to champions league matches, i totally understand why you do.

Id rather keep it fair and balanced and compare them in their biggest sample size against the same opposition in the same competition.

sorry Nick that was meant for Vidic if you didnt gather that already

Rashford. Saka is a better all round player, but Rashford’s got a better history of winning his team games late in the day. Think he holds the record for most goals scored in injury time in the premier league.

Saka couldn't finish his dinner.

Rashford, meanwhile, could provide Saka's dinner and then finish it for him.

See this is a much better way to debate the stats that I give.

This is quite interesting actually, do you have the actual stats for this or some reference. Cos that would defo be something to consider.
