In Development – The Stats Compare Tool

The “Stats Compare Tool” is the current work in progress for the Members Area. We’re hoping to have a first iteration of this new members feature available by the end of next week, at which point we’ll turn our attentions to producing new event maps on the Match Dashboard and Player Profile.

The Compare Tool has been a long-term aim. It allows for direct comparison of two players, across over 100 statistics, with an instant representation of which player is stronger and in which areas.

The tool fully incorporates our stat maps so, right now, you can compare Average Positions for any two players and, when we’ve added further maps, this will be extended to events like Shots, Crosses, Chances Created and a touches heatmap.

Those maps, along with all the stats in a player comparison, can be fully sliced by our filters. This means you can compare two players over the “last four Gamweeks”, their “last four matches” or compare two players home or away record. You can even take a single player and run a comparison home and away, or compare his form so far in 2012/13 to his previous season’s data.

We’re also adding the ability to switch to average values so you can see minute per event stats for all the numbers shown, leveling the playing field for the comparisons.

The tool will be accessible via the Members Area menu and we’re hoping to provide shortcuts to running player comparisons in the Player stats tables and in the Player Profiles. A compare button will immediately take you to the tool for the players, or player you’re viewing or have selected.

They’ll hopefully be more news on this development, plus a movie previewing the feature, at some stage next week.

          He won't be on the Real bench. They play 60 games a season so even if he doesn't start every single game he'll still play 40ish games.

              I know we play him deep and he's very good but you can push him further forward as well. He can rotate with Alonso/Khedira/Ozil.

              I don't see the need to sign him mind you but if they do it's not to be bench fodder.

            not 40ish, 20ish. Can't see him displacing anyone in Real's midfield. he may start for the unimportant games. Joining Real would be a mistake I think.

      Don't fancy it. I think Taarabt is a better option in their midfield and should be 6m max. Wait and see how Park fits into the setup and how well he plays first.

            Lambert 10-18 is a good shout. He's like a better Grant Holt, who did alright himself last season. Any Reading players worth having? Ian Harte for set pieces? The keeper as a cheap 2nd choice?

      I think the question doesn't have a simple answer. Like most teams with strong squads, they will likely have 2 players competing for most positions. Who actually plays any given week will depend on a player's form, if there are any other fixtures in close proximity to the game being played and whether they are doing well in any cup competitions.

      All answer are purely speculative!

      I'm getting Hart instead of Kompany as the latter will be around 8m this season. Not sure about Kagawa yet, need to see if he gels into the starting 11 and what happens to Welbeck. Will probably risk starting with Torres and one of Mata/Hazard. If Bent is less than 9 I will pick him. Not sure about Silva or Aguero, they will be the most expensive players but you got to have one of them.

The rest I didn't have in my team, Ferguson - what did you expect from the cheapest midfielder in the game? N'Zog was under the wrong manager..

    David De Gea scored a freekick in training, for the Spanish Olympic squad. I'm presuming Spain will get to the final so I'll be staying clear of De Gay 1.

        I don't see what's so good about De Gea if I'm honest. Makes too many mistakes for a 17/20m GK.

          He's alright, but I wouldn't put him up there in a list of world class keepers (yet). I'd prefer Joe Hart in my team.

          He is an average goalkeeper, imo.

    If Mark is out there, an article listing all the Premier League players involved in the Olympics would be much appreciated so we know who to avoid for GW1.

    All those involved will have their pre-season schedules/training disrupted and anyone who has recently moved teams won't be on the same wave-length as their team mates or fit into their style of play to start the year.

    LM RM
    ACM
