Who's Worth More? (Stats)

Just posted this on the Iwelumo and Varney thread but thought i would start a new thread as i think it could be a bit of an interesting debate. Anyways i was looking on soccerbase at the stats of both Varney and Eastwood.

For Varney it says that he was signed from Quorn FC (for Crewe) in 2003 for £50,000 (fairly identical to how we signed Freddy, albeit he joined on loan first). Varneys pro career began at Crewe as Quorn FC weren't pro. In his four years as a Pro, with Crewe, Varney has played 108 games in all competitions (including sub appearances) and scored 35 goals, he's goal to game ratio is a goal every 3.09 matches.

For Eastwood it says, as we all know he started as a trainee at West Ham. He then went on to Grays, but it doesn't have any appearance details. On Wikipedia it says he played 42 times for Grays scoring 37 goals. But back to soccerbase and it says that Freddy, in all competitions has played 135 games (including as a substitute) and scored 65 goals, with a goal to game ratio of a goal every 2.08 matches.

It shows that Freddy, albeit has played more games, has scored 30 more goals than Varney, and if you add his Grays goal tally then that would be 72 goals more than Varney. Also shows that Freddy has a better goals to game ratio than Varney.

So who's the better player, and who is worth the most?

65 goals in 135 appearances in a goal every 2.08 appearances.

But at what level were those goals scored? Any breakdown of appearances by year/league?

Thought i was wrong mate, cheers. Just got the ratio mixed up!! Will change that.

Well for Varney i would presume Championship and League 1, and for Eastwood League 2, League 1 and Championship.
