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.

    Just before I go to bed... just dawned on me FPL could open any minute now. If we assume last year's late opening was an outlier, then the latest it's opened in the last six years is about 100 hours away!

    Also, I've completely wasted my Saturday due to staying up late and sleeping through it. I'm telling myself I will do double with Sunday to make up for it. Night!

            The Murray / Marray thing (and similar broken records) does my head in too.

            As ein Englander I personally I found Murray's comment on supporting anyone but England hilarious, you got to be able to laugh at that stuff. Kind of helps that I've spent most of my football life supporting anyone but United, admittedly.

      Funniest part is the interviewers asking other athletes for good luck messages for Murray, then if/when he loses they'll mention the loss and not mention him again until he shows promise in a major competition.

    Which 3 CHE players is everyone going with to kick things off this year?

    Price will of course be a factor, but assuming Mata gets a rest after the Olympics, it feels like JT and Torres are a must, with either Hazard, Lampard or an extra defender (Cech, Cole, Ivanovic) in there

      Yep. I know full well that if I buy him he'll do nothing but if I don't he'll probably score a hattrick, get a couple of assists and five bonus points. Third time's the charm, hopefully.

    Can't quite understand why Murray is so unpopular with a lot of people, as far as I can see it boils down to three different reasons:

    1 - He's miserable. So what? He's a tennis player not a gameshow host, who cares how much he smiles?
    2 - He once said he was supporting anyone but England at the World Cup. AS A JOKE! The interviewer was taking the piss and asking him who he'd be supporting since Scotland had failed to qualify again - he responded in kind (displaying a sense of humour he supposedly lacks) and it's been held against him ever since.
    3 - He's Scottish. Well that's just pathetic.

        Directly from the journalist who actually performed the interview:

        "Let me return to the topic of Andy Murray and this whole anti-English argument for what I truly hope is the last time - although I doubt it.

        Some of the nonsensical criticism Britain's No 1 has received is laced with such misplaced venom and outrage that it makes me despair.

        So, for the hard of thinking, let me state here that: I did the interview with Andy Murray and Tim Henman a couple of years back where Murray talked about 'supporting whoever England were playing against'.

        It was a clearly a sarcastic remark. He was responding to teasing from your columnist about Scotland's absence from the 2006 World Cup and derisive laughter from the mischievous Henman.

        It was reported in that context in this newspaper at the time and the exchange was run as a transcript.

        A couple of days later a red-top got excited about the comments, lifted a couple of them into a 'story' that took on a life of its own and from there the truth was lost.

        It is astonishing how this has run and run."

        thanks mate. but nothing about a move to arsenal? would much rather see him go to arsenal or spurs tbh but guess a liverpool move could work well for him too.

        4231 with dempsey playing just behind suarez, that Uruguayan whose name I keep forgetting on one wing, someone else on the other wing and gerrard and lucas as the defensive two?

        if he goes to pool how do u think his returns will be?

      I'll admit I post rmt's myself but much prefer it without them! and without the stress of transfer decisions and team selections (for the time being). its been a nice break to just be able to chat with people on here and actually carry on a conversation without rmt's cluttering up the page and moving it to the next page. granted in a month from now i'll be all ready for the season but its just been a nice break I have to say

      In all my years on this site I have never posted a single RMT.

      I think that's mainly because there are so many, and with there being so many, chances are that there is going to be one similar to what I would have posted anyway.
