Some of the Wanderers' greats of today and yesterday are given the ultimate comparison..... whether they cost less per goal, or scored more goals per game than two-goal play-off hero - Fabian de Freitas.
Firstly, we have the Fabian Cost Values, which are calculated from:
Goals/Cost
And secondly, the Fabian Appearance Values, from:
Goals/Apps+(0.25*As Sub) Last update following match vs Everton on 28/12/02
