Five key stats from week 11 in Ligue 1- the Falcao crisis is over

Relegation favourites Guingamp up to 5th

The Ligue 1 table has been turned on its head and the three newly-promoted sides occupy the top five. Monaco of course is not surprise, but Guingamp were meant to have been cast adrift already, not challenging for Europe. Ever since their opening 3-1 demolition by Marseille they have really pulled together and put together an inspiring team ethic and superb work rate. There is no real star to the Guingamp side, Fatih Atik gained the highest Squawka rating on Saturday with rather low 36 points, emphasising the team mentality.

Their success has come in part from overloading teams in the wide positions and playing a patient passing game. They attempted 460 passes v Ajaccio in the 2-1 win, 76% of those passes found their target. 42 of those passes were labelled as crosses, more than most Ligue 1 sides manage. Six of those crosses were counted as key passes and the goals from Claudio Beauvue and Mustapha Diallo came from the wide areas. And with the team winning 10/14 aerial duels, they are causing a lot of problems from the channels.
