1 answer

If Lionel Messi played a false nine position in 51 games and scored a total of 91 goals in 69 games, this means he scored (91/69) goals per game on average.
To find out how many goals he would have scored if he didn't play in the false nine position at all, we can assume that he would maintain his average goals per game throughout the remaining 18 games.
So, he would have scored (91/69) * 18 = 23.83 goals in the same amount of games.
