KPI Analysis – Defenders, Last Four Gameweeks

Having previously assessed the form of forwards and midfielders across the last four Gameweeks, our third Key Performance Indicator (KPI) article of the international break casts an eye over the defenders.

For the unfamiliar, these Key Performers Indicator (KPI) tables use a series of key stats to allow our members to track a trend in player performance as a guide to their form. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics, such as minutes per chance, and comparing them over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain patterns of improvement or decline in these areas. For those unfamiliar, we’ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

    I guess the safe option this week is Hutton to Yun for me. Shave a few quid off of my cheapest defender and presents me with a decentish defensive option for a few weeks. As much as I want to make transfers further forward my defence is probably the weakest part.

      Hutton to Yun is a downgrade imo

        It is. But Yun is fit and has some immediate decent fixtures. My defence is looking poor this week so trying to get someone in. Not sure who is best mind

    Gm Dzzzzzz, been a long time since i was last here at this time of day 😀

    hope the community is set for this weekend amidst all these doubts for the weekend. Adm/tadic/sakho sigh

      Good morning. I think most teams appear to be a shambles

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        yay 😀

          So does that make it a better idea not to take a hit? It will give you a head start against many teams this week

    Thoughts?

    Thinking Sakho----->Austin if he's ruled out...or Marney---->Walters and bench Sakho this week.

    Foster
    Bertrand Baines Duff (Chester, Wisdom)
    Di Maria Sanchez Downing Hazard(VC) ( Marney)
    Sakho Pelle Aguero(C)

    Cheers 🙂

      Seems familiar, no Costa, but a lot of ADM/Baines/Sakho. I have no idea what to do.

      Maybe you can do Sakho->Austin since you have Downing, and hope for recovery for Baines and ADM.

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That's what the likeliest transfer seems to be!

        Thanks mate 🙂

      how much is walters and what has he done to you?

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        😆 He's 5.2m! Dirt cheap and in great form - 2 goals and 1 assist in the last 4, plus a fantastic fixture + Penos.

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          the key word in there is "a".

          What a headache to own after this GW

            • 10 Years

            He'll be my 5th mid!

                Oh I didn't have him, and I'm certain he'll have a cracker this week 😉

                Missed out on him for my draft game 🙠I've grabbed Barton and a certain forward....but I've got competitors lurking... 🙂

                1. rickardinho

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              too expensive for a 5th mid imo. 0.8 that could be better spent elsewhere.

    3. OzilFozzil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I have exactly the same problem, got, Fab, ADM, Baines and Sakho all possible doubts,

      I have half a mind to do ADM -> Hazard, patience where thin with the Argentine...

    4. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How much is Walters now? No access to prices atm.

      1. Shifty
        • 10 Years

        sorry just seen replies above.

  4. AleksanderVN
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    A: Sakho, Adm, Baines -> Costa, Downing, Azpi (-8)

    B: Play wildcard

    Rest of the team:
    Krul Elliot
    Clyne Taylor Chambers Duff (Baines)
    Hazard Siggy Sanchez Boyd (ADM)
    Pelle Aguero (Sakho)

    1FT, 0 itb

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for more news. That is quite some hit if ADM & Sakho are fit you would be frustrated.

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      i think ADM will we fine and your sub players could still pickup points I'd keep as it is..

  5. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lol... out until christmas. And so Daniel Sturridge's stock continues to go up. Amazing how an injury can turn a good player into world class when the club is under performing.

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

      Is this on the club site Scratch?

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I don't get this at all 😕
      How where and why is sturridge's stock rising whilst he's injured?

    3. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So he didn't score 21 goals last season then?

  6. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Currently

    Forster Guzan
    Bertrand Wilson n.taylor chambers Duff
    Hazard Sanchez Chadli downing boyd
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Wasn't going to do a transfer this week but next week I was thinking Hazard and Pelle > Rooney and Sigurdsen for next week
    Any thoughts?

  7. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    McCarthy Foster
    Baines Clyne Chambers Hutton Moore
    Fabregas Di Maria Mane Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa Pelle
    1FT, 0.2m itb.

    First preference would be to save FT. Risk it despite all doubts and poor fixtures(Chambers and Foster). Planning Mane+Pelle>>Walcott+Austin/Sakho for free next week.
    But if there are any obvious transfer, please let me know.

    Thanks.

    1. AleksanderVN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Aren't Baines, Hutton and Moore doubters?
      Maybe a FT in defense to be able to fill 3 at the back?

  8. Mak_Gold
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A) Di Maria -> Sanchez, Mannone -> 4.0 GK
      B) Fabregas -> Sanchez, Baines -> Azpilicueta
      C) Fabregas -> Sanchez, Pelle -> Austin (if Baines is fit)
      D) Fabregas -> Sanchez, Di Maria -> Hazard, Baines -> Azpilicueta for a -4 hit

      Krul,
      Baines, Clyne, Chambers,
      Fabregas, Di Maria, Downing, Sigurdsson,
      Aguero, Costa, Pelle.

      Subs: Mannone, Boyd, Wisdom, N. Taylor.

      2 FTs, £0.6m ITB.

      Cheers.

      If you had ADM and Sterling, which one would you sell, and would you buy Hazard or Sanchez (no other Chelsea attacking coverage....)

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sell Sterling, buy Hazard

    • The Full Skinny on Costa
      rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Just flicked back a few pages and read Bsloebadgers post about Costa vs fatter CB's which I thought was excellent and exactly the sort of thing that makes FFS the home of FFSers. (http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/11/19/kpi-analysis-defenders-last-four-gameweeks/?hc_page=7#hc_comment_8853540).

      To build on that priceless and mathematically-apt piece of analysis it I decided to look at how heavy around the waist CB's are in games coming up after WBA as well. Also, for any yanks out there be reminded that your system of measurement is ridiculous, and I've used meters purposefully to confuse you 😀

      WBA:
      Lescott 1.89m 82kg
      Dawson 1.88m 85kg

      SUN:
      O'Shea 1.91m 75kg
      Brown 1.85m 77kg

      TOT:
      Kaboul: 1.90m 87kg
      Vertonghen 1.89m 79kg
      Fazio 1.90m 90kg

      NEW:
      Coloccini 1.84m 84kg
      Taylor: 1.86m 91kg
      Williamson 1.94m 94kg

      HUL:
      Dawson 1.89m 79kg
      Davies 1.88m 76kg
      Chester : 1.77m 75kg

      Looking at those numbers, I'd say Sunderland and Hull's nutritionist has done the best job of keeping his clients slim and ready to be pushed around by Costa. That being the case, hopefully he gets that 5th YC vs WBA 😉

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Fatter CBs 😆

      2. Get up ya bum

        • 14 Years

        When Costa bags a hatrick this weekend it will put this theory firmly where it belongs. In the khazi!

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Haha, it wasn't my theory so I'm not sure I completely agree with it, but it is funny to consider anyhow given the Dunne/Skrtel examples Bsloebadger gave. Skrtel had Costa in his pocket in the Slovakia-Spain game as well (which Slovakia won 2-1), so it was hardly a one-off. Might be something in this... though I suspect Spurs might need a couple of sumo wrestling champions at CB if they are to stand a chance the way they're playing! 😉

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I think it has more to do with Costa on the road to regaining form and sharpness than anything else. Looking at the teams he did well against, there ain't a huge difference in size between the CBs.

            A couple of inches and a bit if extra girth surely can't make that much of a difference, can it ? 😀

            1. rickardinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Haha, well according to your mum it does 😛 wahey!

          Tbh, all the heights I looked up were in meters, and I got bored of converting them as most people should be familiar with meters anyways 🙂

        Brilliant. I'm planning on doing an analysis on the favourite colour of defenders that Costa faces. I've got a theory, but I'm not quite ready to share it as the sample size is small, due to the lack of information on Wikipedia

      Predictions for Liverpool's position come January?

      I'm guessing 14th, with Studge out for 6 more weeks with 9 games from now til New Year's

      1. Get up ya bum

      3. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Surely with the fixtures they have it will be higher than that?

      4. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Fixtures do look good on paper, so I'd probably say around 6th. Southampton are bound to drop points, as are West Ham. United's and Everton's defenses are crippled atm as well fwiw, so its hardly like Liverpool are the only team faltering.

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I think it'll be something like this:

          1. Chelsea
          2. City
          3. Arsenal
          4. Southampton
          5. United
          6. Liverpool
          7. Everton
          8. Newcastle
          9. West Ham
          10. Spurs

          1. enrico.palazzo
            • 11 Years

            Newcastle 8th?

            1. rickardinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Well they're currently 8th and have improved alot, so seems fitting to me.. if not higher really.

        2. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          I would agree with that

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        below Everton 🙂

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Everton could finish in 19th, but as long as Liverpool are below them it'll have been a fantastic season! 😛

      7. Shifty
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        9-11th for me.

        It's not just an issue of Liverpool's own form - it's an issue of other teams smelling blood. It's like United last season - WBA were running us to the ground at Old Trafford ffs!

    • Takedog1

      Forster
      Wisdom clyne duff Moore dummet
      Adm siggy Downing Sanchez Boyd
      Costa PELLE aguero

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. Takedog1
          • 10 Years

          What about wisdom to azpi?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Moore to Azpi would be better I think, if you are determined to make the trade.

    • Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      So assuming Baines doesn't play this weekend, how many more points do you think Coleman will score than Wisdom?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Less than 4.

    • andres
      • 12 Years

      ADM, baines, sakho... What is the plan guys?

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Reckon Sakho and Di Maria will play. If Martinez indicates Baines will be out for longer than a week, I will probably sell him for either Coleman or Azpi

        1. andres
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, might go azpi. Lets wait for the pressers... In any case if any of those are confirmed out would you sell?

          Bench doesnt look to good naylor, moore, boyd...

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Since I would like to keep all of them mid-term, then probably not.

    • UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Well I've looked for this "Out till Christmas" confirmation but can't find it anywhere and since no one is linking where they got the confirmed medical report from.

      I suggest you make up your own minds.

          I'm interested more in his affect on Sterling's confidence and performance.
          I think you're right though.

          The days of S&S attack strength may be over.

      Baines - Clyne - Yun (Wisdom - Duff)
      Siggy - Hazard - Sanchez - Downing (Wanyama)
      Aguero - Costa - Austin

      Good to go or changes?

      Changes im thinking about is Krul and/or try to do clyne->azpi

      Cheers

      1. Pie-o-My
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm on the WC as well. I've gone for Guzan/Given over Krul/Elliot due to fixtures.

        I downgraded to Oscar for my chelsea midfielder and that funded Chadli as the fifth mid and Azpi to accompany Clyne and Baines in defence. Otherwise we are pretty much the same.

        1. JPlicious

    • Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How about this for a plan?

      (1) Baines gets ruled out this w/e

      GW12: Baines -> Terry
      GW13: Chadli & Pelle -> either a) Boyd/Dyer & Rooney, or b) ADM/Wally & Austin

      (2) Baines is not ruled out this w/e

      GW12: Hutton & Pelle -> Terry & Austin
      GW13: Chadli -> Downing (or save)

      Bank 0.0m, 2 freebies

      Krul, Elliot
      Baines, Chambers, Wisdom, Hutton, Yun
      Sanchez, Hazard, Chadli, Siggy, Albrighton
      Aguero, Costa, Pelle

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        What if Baines is ruled out for just 1 week? No point taking him out

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I kinda think he has to go even if only ruled out for 1 week. He has tot and che in 2 of his next 3 and I don't see many points there.

          With the less volatile prices this season I think you can mix it up a little, so if getting rid this week I would likely bring him back after the mcy game and only lose 0.1m or maybe 0.2m in value, which is bearable

          1. Shifty
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            since when has anyone got baines for the clean sheet potential? 🙂

            Tott and Chelsea aren't exactly water tight.

      2. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Irrespective of Baines Injury the second plan looks good...and you can easily save in GW13..Chadli is in fine form...1 also looks good but why do you want to remove Chadli in both situations? in second situation you can change Albrighton (who doesn't get any game time) to someone else..to have a playing bench player

    • Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I can do Pelle + Silva --> Austin // Ings(Yes I'm Considering him) // Berahino + Sanchez

      but would seem quite sideways...

      I am thinking to do Silva --> either Sterling or Siggy...I think Sterling's good run will start now..

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        ...Im not so sure with this Sturr news....

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I know...but I read Balo also injured for CP game...maybe he gets involved more this week?

      2. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That isn't sideways at all. I like those moves

        I don't think Sterling will go on a good run with new Sturridge situation

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          yeah..but soooo many people have got Sanchez in..just doesn't make me want to get him..

          1. Sunny 😎
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            You can wait for Walcott but what if he just keeps on scoring like Yaya and Ramsey did last season..

            1. Moin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I know..that's what I fear..will just wait for the presser and make the switch I guess...can take a safe punt on Ings..not having Sanchez would itself become a dangerous punt...

      3. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Tricky position - with Sturridge out I'm not so sure on Sterling, and Siggy has a tough fixture this week.

        Can you afford Berty & Silva -> Yun & Sanchez?

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          nah..I always had Ings in my mind..plus I want to Upgrade Berty rather than downgrade him...

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Ings would be a great differential if he came good. Looked decent for the U21s the other night and grabbed a couple of goals I believe. It's just whether you trust Burnley as an attacking force I guess.

            Thoughts on my above plan?

      4. Shifty
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Burnley just don't score enough goals to even think about Ings.

        There are punts and there are bad decisions. Ings falls squarely in the latter zone 🙂

        Austin + Sanchez to play the form card.

        Berahino i'm not sold. Talented, but think WBA overperformed during that run of goals.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          as everyone seems to be getting Austin...he won't be much of a differential...

        Aguero is the only essential player to have in your team in my opinion..

      38 / 3 = 12,67.

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Baines and Fabregas the only two doubts for me and I can cover them if both are ruled out. So let them all have their rest 😀
