It comes as little surprise to learn that Marcus Tavernier and Dael Fry are Middlesbrough's most important players this season - while Neeskens Kebano's performances since arriving also make him a key man.
Boro have won five of the eight games Kebano has started, while only managing to win 41% of their games this season without the Fulham loanee.
But having played the full season for Neil Warnock's side, Tavernier and Fry are the unsurprising key men, based on win percentages with and without them.
But how important are Boro's other players?
We calculated 'win percentages with' using every games a player played at least 45 minutes in, while win percentage without is any game a player was either an unused sub or not in the matchday squad.
Because some players are perhaps better suited to being impact subs rather than regular starters, we also calculated the win percentage when players come off the bench for all players who have made five or more substitute appearances.
It's worth noting that, with 16 wins in 38 games, Boro's current overall win percentage this season is 42% - which is also seen in the numbers of Marcus Bettinelli and Paddy McNair who have played in every game so far this season.
Here is a breakdown of what we found.
Most Read
Marcus Bettinelli
Played every league game for Boro this season having established himself as number one.
Win percentage with: 42%
Win percentage without: N/A
Djed Spence
A rather disappointing season for the youngster overall where he has ultimately fallen behind Anfernee Dijksteel and Darnell Fisher in the pecking order. The numbers offer a clear reason why.
Win percentage with: 33%
Don’t miss
Win percentage without: 60%
Win percentage when coming on as a sub: 47%
Darnell Fisher
Having joined from Preston in January, Fisher has impressed in almost every appearance for the club so far, with just a frustrating Achilles problem halting his progress.
Win percentage with: 43%
Win percentage without: 25%
Anfernee Dijksteel
A fantastic season for the young Dutchman leaves him a contender for the most-improved player along with Marc Bola.
It's no surprise that Boro's win percentage with Dijksteel is slightly higher than their win percentage overall.
Win percentage with: 45%
Win percentage without: 33%
Dael Fry
No surprise to see that Boro have won almost half of their games with Fry in the side this term. He's been excellent.
But it is surprising they won 40% of the games he's not played because his absence was usually very noticeable, particularly after the Blackburn horror injury.
Win percentage with: 47%
Win percentage without: 40%
Paddy McNair
Like Bettinelli, McNair has played every game for Boro this season and has been excellent whether in defence or midfield.
Win percentage with: 42%
Win percentage without: N/A
Grant Hall
A season that didn't really get going until last month, but Hall has been mightily impressive on his return. His win percentage is affected by the fact he did play Boro's first two against recently-relegated Watford and Bournemouth before getting injured.
Win percentage with: 40%
Win percentage without: 44%
Marc Bola
It was a month into the season before Bola established himself, but once he did he's been an important mainstay ever since.
Win percentage with: 42%
Win percentage without: 40%
Hayden Coulson
Coulson faces an uncertain future at Boro with Warnock seemingly not fancying the once-bright left-footed prospect.
Win percentage with: 33%
Win percentage without: 37%
Win percentage when coming on as a sub: 50%
Marvin Johnson
More recently Johnson has found himself as more of an impact player from the bench and his numbers suggest there is good reason for that.
Boro have won just a third of the games he has started, while they won two of the three games he played no part in at all. But when he comes off the bench in games Boro’s winning record is slightly better than their season average.
Win percentage with: 33%
Win percentage without: 66%
Win percentage when coming on as a sub: 47%
Jonny Howson
Howson is the perfect example of when the stats don’t always tell the whole story.
He’s only missed five games all season when he suffered a hamstring injury at Preston, with Boro winning four after that in an excellent month for them.
Sam Morsy did excellently to plug the gap left by Howson’s absence, but the numbers are unfair on one of Boro’s most consistent players.
Win percentage with: 38%
Win percentage without: 80%
Sam Morsy
It’s been a solid debut season for the former Wigan midfielder and the numbers are reflective of a player whose presence in Boro’s midfield has become increasingly important.
Morsy does the ugly stuff, leaving the more eye-catching, headline-grabbing moments to others.
They win six per cent more games than their season average when Morsy plays.
Win percentage with: 48%
Win percentage without: 22%
George Saville
Saville often divides opinion among supporters but played in his more-natural advanced role by Warnock this season it’s fair to say that he’s probably having his best for the club to date.
He’s only missed three games all season, with the recent Stoke win the only one that resulted in three points for the Boro.
Win percentage with: 36%
Win percentage without: 33%
Win percentage when coming on as a sub: 71%
Marcus Tavernier
The season has seen Marcus Tavernier become increasingly recognised as so important to Middlesbrough.
Warnock certainly feels his side miss the forward’s enthusiasm when he’s absent and the stats back that theory up.
An impressive win percentage sees Boro win almost half of the games they play with Tavernier in the side for 45 minutes or more.
A regular starter when fit, they’ve won just three of the nine games he’s missed through injury.
Win percentage with: 48%
Win percentage without: 33%
Duncan Watmore
Watmore missed Boro’s first 11 but made a quick impression after joining in November as a free agent.
His six goals make him Boro’s top scorer this season, but Warnock often says that the forward is a player who plays well when Boro play well.
That’s reflective of his numbers with Boro winning as many games without him as they do with him.
Win percentage with: 47%
Win percentage without: 50%
Win percentage when coming on as a sub: 14%
Neeskens Kebano
Kebano’s numbers show just how impressive he has been since joining in January.
The Fulham loanee has been on the winning side in five of the eight Boro games he has started since arriving on transfer deadline day in February.
Win percentage with: 63%
Win percentage without: 41%
Yannick Bolasie
Bolasie’s numbers would suggest he hasn’t quite had the same impact as Kebano.
It’s one not to be judged out of context, however, given he made his debut as a striker in a credible draw against Norwich and soon after missed five games through injury meaning he’s only started six so far for the club.
Despite low numbers, he’s been a joy to watch and it’s also worth noting that there was a third win when he came off the bench late at Coventry to help grab a late goal and all three points.
Win percentage with: 33%
Win percentage without: 42%
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing
With just one of his eight appearances a start, we’ve included Mendez-Laing’s sub appearances in his numbers.
Boro have won three of the eight games he’s appeared in so far.
Win percentage with: 38%
Win percentage without: 43%
Britt Assombalonga
Assombalonga’s time at the club is almost sure to be up at the end of the season and with a win percentage of less than a third and just five goals, it’s easy to see why.
Boro’s win percentage when he comes off the bench isn’t so bad, but he’s scored just one of his five goals from the bench.
Win percentage with: 32%
Win percentage without: 67%
Win percentage when coming on as a sub: 40%
Chuba Akpom
While he’s struggled for goals in his first season, the numbers strongly show Akpom offers more upfront than Assombalonga.
Boro won nine of 17 matches the Arsenal academy graduate started, though they did also win three of the six games he missed.
Win percentage with: 53%
Win percentage without: 50%
Win percentage when coming on as a sub: 27%

Ashley Fletcher
An unfortunate injury-hit season to forget for Fletcher.
He looked good when returning last month from the hamstring injury but lasted just three games before injuring his glute.
Out of contract in the summer, but with eight games to play Warnock is keen to keep him.
Win percentage with: 40%
Win percentage without: 46%
