Answer 1

To determine which team has the best attack, we can compare the number of goals scored by each team.

The Titans scored 7 goals, the Warriors scored 15 goals, and the Gladiators scored 8 goals. Therefore, the Warriors have the best attack as they scored the highest number of goals.

To determine which team has the best goalkeeper, we can compare the number of goals saved by each team.

The Titans saved 1 goal, the Warriors saved 20 goals, and the Gladiators saved 20 goals. Both the Warriors and the Gladiators have excellent goalkeepers, saving the same number of goals. Therefore, it is a tie between the Warriors and the Gladiators for the best goalkeeper.

To determine which team is doing best overall, we can consider their win-loss-draw records and the number of goals scored and saved.

The Titans won 5 games, the Warriors won 8 games, and the Gladiators won 5 games. The Warriors have the highest number of wins.

Taking into account goals scored and saved, the Warriors have a higher goal difference. They scored 15 goals and saved 20 goals, resulting in a goal difference of +15. The Titans scored 7 goals and saved 1 goal, resulting in a goal difference of +6. The Gladiators scored 8 goals and saved 20 goals, resulting in a goal difference of -4.

Considering their win record, overall goal difference, and number of goals scored and saved, the Warriors are the team doing best overall. They have the highest number of wins, the highest goal difference, and scored a significant number of goals.
