Hawkins doesn't. He gets half as many frees as other tall forwards, despite rucking a lot and therefore getting more opportunities to get infringed.

Very difficult to win a free kick when you're standing behind your opponent and pushing him in the back with both hands.Hawkins doesn't. He gets half as many frees as other tall forwards, despite rucking a lot and therefore getting more opportunities to get infringed.

Hawkins should also have more free kicks against him, he constantly pushes defenders in the back. He also from time to time adds a bit more mayo to get a free kick, so swings and roundabouts. Good luck to him.Hawkins doesn't. He gets half as many frees as other tall forwards, despite rucking a lot and therefore getting more opportunities to get infringed.
Misleading stats. These are goals as a 'result' of free kicks and not goals kicked from free kicks, yes?
Not really relevant if the free kick isn't a direct shot on goal. It could literally be from a HTB at half back which is then immediately turned back the other way and results in a goal.
Also probably doesn't remove any goals kick from an advantage call.
