Lawrence Shankland may be hogging the Hearts headlines, but Beni Baningime's role as the quiet enforcer shouldn't be overlooked. The Jambos are cruising to a second third place finish in three years after last season's collapse. They define high pressure as: "A player is considered under pressure when he is in possession of the ball and at least one opponent player nearby him is trying to either recover the ball or limit his options. Baningime's ball retention ratio under pressure is 87.9 per cent - the highest in the Scottish top flight. Old Firm rivals John Lundstram and Callum McGregor aren't too far off, with 87.3 and 87.1 per cent respectively.
