the stats are actually good ones there, in that they're the ones that make sense for the game. beyond the numbers, i find the player dominance graphs particularly eye-opening-- would like to look under the hood of those but they don't explain how they come up with them. in them you can see clearly who ruled and who disappeared. e.g. look at mascherano vs. messi in the ARG dominance graph-- there's like 4 different tabs in the match section so you have to dig a little to find it. also-- their phone app is great, you can build your own stats with what data you want (that's what michael cox uses for his demonstrations).
