So where is that sweet spot between scoring goals, deflating an opponent so that they don't score, yet minimizing the fouls (possibly dangerous) against your team?
Actually, there are two answers to this question. Granted, my time and resources are limited, but by analyzing the EPL's scorelines for the 2009-10 season and comparing them with the number of fouls given/received during those games, I've determined two possible sweet spots.
