Best take advantage, be all that you can be.
^^Chelsea's two mathematically skinniest players. Notice what they have in common?
As promised, more number geeking regarding squad weights this time, as opposed to heights. Figures from the club website:
| From heaviest to lightest: Romelu Lukaku | 94 |
| Alex | 92 |
| Petr Cech | 91.71 |
| Didier Drogba | 91 |
| John Terry | 90.34 |
| Frank Lampard | 88 |
| Henrique Hilario | 88 |
| Branislav Ivanovic | 86 |
| John Obi Mikel | 86 |
| Michael Essien | 85.35 |
| Ross Turnbull | 85 |
| Ryan Bertrand | 85 |
| David Luiz | 84 |
| Oriol Romeu | 79 |
| Salomon Kalou | 78.54 |
| Nicolas Anelka | 77 |
| Daniel Sturridge | 76 |
| Paulo Ferreira | 76 |
| Jose Bosingwa | 75 |
| Florent Malouda | 73 |
| Ramires | 73 |
| Fernando Torres | 70 |
| Ashley Cole | 66 |
| Raul Meireles | 65 |
| Young Joshua | 64.92 |
| Juan Mata | 61 |
| Squad average | 80.03308 |
| Standard deviation | 9.541848 |
Juan Mata is a loooot skinnier than me, so jell! :oooo I could have sworn Ashley Cole used to be a bit lighter than that, but that may have been when he was weighed when he came back from a spell out with the flu, and with that, didn't each much. Torres seemed to be very thin for his height, so I took it further and calculated BMIs:
| Raul Meireles | 20.28651 |
| Fernando Torres | 20.45289 |
| Young Joshua | 20.48984 |
| Juan Mata | 21.10727 |
| Ashley Cole | 21.30682 |
| Florent Malouda | 22.28259 |
| Jose Bosingwa | 22.39541 |
| Ramires | 22.53086 |
| Paulo Ferreira | 22.69402 |
| Salomon Kalou | 22.70205 |
| Nicolas Anelka | 22.74338 |
| Ross Turnbull | 22.8194 |
| David Luiz | 23.51558 |
| Daniel Sturridge | 23.71961 |
| Oriol Romeu | 23.84978 |
| Petr Cech | 23.87287 |
| Branislav Ivanovic | 24.33228 |
| John Obi Mikel | 24.33228 |
| Henrique Hilario | 24.89814 |
| Didier Drogba | 25.47521 |
| Alex | 25.75516 |
| John Terry | 25.83431 |
| Frank Lampard | 25.99244 |
| Romelu Lukaku | 26.03878 |
| Ryan Bertrand | 26.52851 |
| Michael Essien | 27.24313 |
| Squad average | 23.58458 |
Check Raul out, true to hipster roots, the thinnest in the squad so he can squeeze himself into those skinnies ;) Fatnando is practically anorexic by Chelsea BMI standards! Our Iberian contingent all are pretty thin, although I am surprised at Essien having the highest BMI as he never looked particularly ~heavy (must all be tightly compressed in). And, that age old addage, Fat Frank? Well, by Chelsea BMI standards, yes, he is, quite literally "fat" haha :p
Glad I answered that one!
Your turn bbs! Rank your squad in terms of weight, and if you so desire, BMI! (if you did height yesterday, it should be a doddle, just slap it all into Excel)
