Of course saying it like that will sound better haha. Point is Murphy averages 23 touches while Higgins averages 17. That isn't a huge difference. You'd want Murphy to get more of the ball considering he plays midfield only. Higgins is the more versatile of the two.
They are about even.

Well if he is more versatile then he should be kicking atleast two goals a game to make up the "slight" difference in disposals. However no he does not average anywhere near 2 goals a game.
Murphy > Higgins
Edit: Further research shows that in reality they both average 1 goal a game. Murphy >>> Higgins.

Stats wise this year has been level pegging between HIggins and Thomas (I used pro stats btw). I am biased however and if I had to pick one atm it would be Thomas because you feel you will get more out of him across the 24 rounds (less injuries). His record in finals is also very good. Almost nothing in it between these two atm in the home and away. Higgins I still beleive is a gun.

Misses two games and that is enough to write him off as overrated.

He does it every year.
Preseason - Higgins is flying. Mick Sheehan, Higgins is bordering on elite. He's going to take over the league.
Mid season - Higgins misses game after game on the back of a minimal output. Dogs fans cry, Higgins is the missing link.
Post season - Higgins nowhere to be seen. Dogs fans, yes but he was injured.

I've seen it for the last 3 years.

brilliant
There needs to be a new thread to re-compare these two. A lot has happened since they were last compared, and I think it will drastically alter the result (in Thomas favour).
