The Otamendi number, the number of times a player has scored an assist for Benfica.
The Otamendi number is a metric used in football to evaluate how many assists have been made by a particular player in a given season. It was introduced in the 2011-2012 season and is calculated using the formula:
O = (Assists - Goals) / (Goals + Assists)
Where:
- O represents the number of assists made by the player.
- Assists refers to the total number of shots taken by the player.
In the case of Benfica, it is not clear if they have ever had more than one assist in a season. However, as of now, Benfica has never had more than two assists in a single season. Therefore, the Otamendi number would be 1 for them.
It's important to note that this metric can vary depending on the club's goalscorer system. Some clubs use a different method to calculate their Otamendi numbers, such as the number of times the player has scored a goal or assists.
Overall, the Otamendi number is a useful metric for evaluating the performance of a player in a specific team. However, it's always best to check the club's goalscorer system to confirm whether they have ever had more than one assist in a season.
