Are forwards just good for scoring?

Well, there is the oft-used saying 'forwards just need to get goals'. Most of the time, fans will not care if their beloved scorer does not do anything productive towards possession or team-work, as long as they score goals. So, I decided to see the difference between the average ratings when a forward scores at least one goal compared to not scoring a goal in a game.

Player Did not score Did score Difference
Yura Movsisyan 5.62 6.89 1.27
Robbie Findley 5.38 8.13 2.75
Fabian Espindola 6.20 8.35 2.15
Kenny Deuchar 6.42 7.61 1.19
Tino Nunez 5.57 7.69 2.12
All Forwards 5.87 7.84 1.97
Other Field Players 6.51 7.77 1.26

So it looks like that forwards' scoring tendencies affect their rating by about 64% (1.26 / 1.97) compared to non-forward field players. And, it looks like people are most critical of Robbie Findley as he has a 2.75 difference between scoring a goal and not scoring a goal. Also, Findley's highest average given in a game he did not score a goal was 7.42 (23 games) and his lowest average given in a game he did score a goal was 7.43 (6 games).
