- *Clean sheets and goals conceded are only counted for defenders and goalkeepers, whilst penalties saved are (obviously) only counted for goalkeepers
- **Williams played in defence 4 times - CS: 0, GC: 9
- ***Stewart played in defence once - CS: 0, GC: 2
- I haven’t put these statistics for Williams and Stewart in the table because their respective defensive figures relative to the number of games they have each played would be misleading, due to their appearances in midfield
