In Development – The Stats Compare Tool

Filed under: Members - Posted by: Mark

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.

      They’re only going to be better than last year, and Fergie will be riled up by City’s victory.

      Now back to the conspiracy... says:

      It’s like 11/12 pre season all over again. Everyone writing Arsenal off, saying they will drop out of the top 4. Wenger has never finished outside of the top 4. Top players have left before, someone always steps up. As for Chelsea doing well…. what under Di Matteo and without Drogba?

              Jack(off)Attack says:

              Alot is unknown at the moment with Walcott etc but I’d say right now it would be;
              Song-Arteta-Wilshere (Rosicky until he is back)
              Walcott-Giroud-Podolski

              If Walcott leaves then I’d say Podolski on the right, Gervinho on the left.
              I rate Giroud from the few matches I’ve seen of him, and think he will be a far better signing than Chamakh was. I reckon he could be good for 15-25 goals a season but who knows really!

      thetinkerman says:

      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.

      I agree with Torres, he really messed my points up last season with the number of times I chose to captain him. Suarez also. 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.. I think the likes of Huth, Hangeland, etc will score better this season.
