Okay i've gone away and done the stats:
I've used the data from the last 5 seasons, they're all a pretty similar age so I guess it's only fair. Cupra you went back ten years on Hargreaves but since that'd make him only 16 at the time, I don't think that'll give you an accurate reflection. I've only counted league starts for each player in that last 5 year period. And here goes:
Kewell (whose first name is actually Harold

) has played on average 18.8 games a season.
Dyer has played 21.1 games a season.
Duff has played 20.6 games a season.
Robben has played 13.6 games a season
Hargreaves with still a rubbish 24.2 a season doesn't make it into the team.
To put these figures into perspective Frank Lampard has averaged 37 games a season, over the same period.
