If anyone has seen the Brad Pitt baseball film, Moneyball, they may find the below link interesting. It is about a team drafting players purely based on statistics, an it ends up being successful.
Below shows the SPL version, and seems to be a decent team actually

Interesting no doubt . The authors reason for putting in some players is to achieve a team who had been available at some time in the previous 18 months for free. That said three Motherwell midfielders looks like an attempt to shoehorn players into statistics to suit his reasoning.

By the way the book is superb and worth a read if you like baseball/statistics .
