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.

      Already looking ahead , what combo would you rather to feel the gaps :
      _________Fabianski
      Baines Chambers Hutton Yun ***
      Sanchez Hazard Downing *** Boyd
      ____Aguero Costa Austin

      A: Dummet AdM
      B: Terry Chadli

      Basically Adm attacking threat vs Terry CS and Chadli goals , im leaning towards B ( could have just posted A and B but rest of players are relevant )

      1. Lallana_

        9 years, 11 months ago

        That's a really tough one. I would go with B because having a Chelsea defender over the next stretch will be nice. And Chadli is good value for money.

      2. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        That's tough, probably B since your defence would be pretty weak with Dummett in there. I would rather have Siggy over Chadli if that was possible too.

      3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        B otherwise defence is too light imo...I prefer Siggy over Chadli though

        Azpi and Siggy?

      5. Jay_
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks for replies all , B is flexible and Azpi /Siggy is affordable but I already have Chadli so would probably stick with him , yes and a Chelsea defender seems the way to go , it's just finding the right one 🙂 Terry seems to getting closer towards scoring , Azpi maybe rotated and Ivan too expensive

        • Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          B would basically give you the same outfield 10 that I am working towards (except azpi over terry) so I guess b

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 11 months ago

              🙂 to get B I need to do
              Welbeck > Austin gw13
              Bertand > Chelsea defender gw14
              And swap Moore for Yun when possible after

          What would you prefer?

          A) Fab > Oscar which means Oscar & Rooney & Adrian

          B) Fab > Hazard which means Hazard & Austin & Courtois

          Big test for Rodgers. With Sturridge out Liverpool have averaged a point a game (8 games, 8 points). By the time Sturridge comes back, I reckon he'll get sacked. He needs to change his tactics and play Lambert if he wants a chance of keeping his job over this next month or two.

            Lambert is shite

            1. Lallana_
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              He may be "shite" but when he plays he opens up the game a lot. He's good at holding up the ball and passing. This allows our attack to at least flow a bit.

              1. Hibbo

                Won't happen thou.

                He will stick by his ready made Suarez replacement - Balotelli.

            I agree with everything you said except for that he needs to play Lambert. He's as good as done in my eyes and should never play with exception to cup games. I'd rather see him give Borini a run of games.

            1. Lallana_
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Either play Borini and Balotelli up top together (they can't play as lone strikers) or play Lambert by himself. If Rodgers fails to do either and continues playing Balotelli by himself, he'll lose his job.

              1. Walsh

                9 years, 11 months ago

                Now that is some more sense I could get behind. Still not so sure about how well Borini and Balo would be as a partnership though...sadly..

                And deserve to imo. He needs a second up top to pull defenders away from the one striker.
                Also it would open things up for Sterling to have a bigger impact.

                9 years, 11 months ago

                I like this idea, Borini unlikely to hold it on his own & that could be the itch Balo needs to scratch. Coupled with Balo's horrible workrates, Borini could compliment him nicely.
                Maybe w/ Sterling in the hole even

                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 11 months ago

                  yeah. i don't get why BR hasn't tried this yet. I mean it's got to be at least worth a try. Everybody, Balo included, knows he needs a partner.

                  Do you think we could or should recall Origi from loan in January?

                  1. Lallana_
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 11 months ago

                    Apparently we have to pay 3M-5M to do so. I wouldn't. I think the expectations to do well are too high for a 19 year old. And he's a striker too.

                    1. djenzio
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 11 months ago

                      yeah there would be enormous pressure on him but he has been having a good season. i think we need to buy another striker, it's pretty ridiculous how much we have been affected by one injury.

          3. Zasa
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Agreed, Balotelli is just false hope at this point. Has he shown any promise thus far? Even at Milan, he was performing at a mediocre level.

            1. Lallana_
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              He hasn't scored a premier league goal for over 20 games? Some ridiculous stat like that.

              I'm not a Liverpool fan and I'm sure if I was I would be calling for Balo's head, but I can't help but think his failings are very much because of the way BR has been deploying him. I think he would thrive alongside Sturridge, but obviously he's been out, regardless he needs to be playing with another striker. He obviously is not successful as a lone striker and I don't know why everyone and their dog can see this but BR can't.

              1. Lallana_
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Balotelli has stated that he can't play as well by himself up front. Unfortunately Rodgers still does. I love Rodgers, a great man...but he needs to do something.

                1. Zasa
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 11 months ago

                  Yeah, to add to this, it's not like BR intended to buy him to play up front. He obviously saw something in a Balo + Sturridge duo up top, w/ all the support in the hole & behind to boot.

                  When all fit & firing, I think BR definitely has a very nice team to throw in to be a contender. Sadly though, you can't count on Gerrard to bail you every time, he's 34 & just had an exhaustive WC + CL too boot for this year. He can't be playing 3 times a week & expect to put in his best

                  Plus, Henderson's support has been waning tremendously over the past month & has had zero to little influence in the midfield. The last England game demonstrated that fully

                  Sterling I would agree is tired, he's played in nearly every outing for Pool the last 12 months, he too has every chance to burn out young the way BR is working him.
                  Give Markovic a chance, we've only seen an ounce of what he can do,
                  Can too, great midfield player, young & hungry for a chance to outshine

                  BR is just too rigid right now, he showed signs of breaking out of the formula against Madrid & Chelsea, & he needs to keep that philosophy going

            3. Lallana_
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              To add to that, Lambert did well last season despite his age. Playing him may not make sense on paper but statistically Liverpool have a better chance of scoring when he's playing. Him and Lallana have great link-up play.

          Does the article make you re-consider a plan to ditch So'ton def?

          I still keep a plan to ditch one of Forster & Clyne, rather Forster.

            • 10 Years

            Certainly would rather keep Clyne than Forster. Not even a close call to me.

            1. Lallana_
              • 10 Years

              Can you justify having Clyne when Gibbs for a similar price has decent fixtures and just as high as attacking potential? It's been bothering me. Southampton this year have been remarkable. Only conceded 5 goals!

                Gibbs is always hurt, as AR says, and Arsenal defense is a clear cut beneath Soton to date in my view. I would also not want Gibbs over Chambers as I'd prefer to bank that difference. I also don't really think that Arsenal have such terrific fixtures from a clean sheet standpoint from here until the January WC.

                1. Lallana_
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 11 months ago

                  Yeah I don't own Chambers for that reasoning. When Debuchy and Koscielny are in the side you see a different Arsenal.

                    9 years, 11 months ago

                    I'm hoping that by that time Wenger will be willing to play Chambers at CDM instead of Flamini.

                      Oh.. Just know that chambers can play in that position too. Has AW ever played him there this season?

                        9 years, 11 months ago

                        I can't recall. He may have gotten a game there in pre-season? I think he's mainly been filling in at CB though since Mert and Kos have taken turns being out going all the way back to preseason. I just remember when Wenger bought Chambers he mentioned something about envisioning him in that role. It's not as though him playing there and having some growing pains along the way would be worse than keeping Flamini there. Flamini is just pure shit.

                It was between Austin and Chadli though so can't complain too much

              Won't force me to sell Costa when he gets his 5th yc.

              long term i agree, i'll get a proper fodder down the track.

                A playing 5th wouldn't force you to sell Costa either.

                One match ban he's sits it out the bench of most.

                Just feel you could have Baines rather than bench points.

              A player's price shouldn't determine whether you bench them or not, you put out the team that you think will score the most points each week.

                Personally I don't need the who will I bench from three dilemma.

                Plus points and value tied up on the bench which could be on the pitch.

          over the next two game weeks
          GW12 Fab & Pelle -> Siggy & Costa (worried about Fab being out and no Chelsea cover)
          GW13 Forster & Bertrand -> Courtois & Hutton

          is it worth a couple of hits?

                  Chambers but have a feeling Tripper is about to go on a good run , has good stats and good fixtures if they start scoring he will get more assist

                Long and possibly pointless post coming.

                Okay, someone made a post yesterday wondering if Lescott would be able to muscle Costa about in the same way Skrtel and Dunne did to good effect recently and it got me to thinking how much Costa relies on his strength to bully the opposition. Costa is 6ft 2” around 85kg. He’s a big guy. Most of the CB’s I’ve looked at are a similar size and build if a bit lighter, around 6ft 2” 82kg.

                Looking at the Liverpool game, Costa and Skrtel had a hard fought physical battle. Skrtel is slightly taller at 6ft 3” but a bit lighter at 81kg. He did reasonably well against Costa, Costa’s goal coming from a deflected cross into his path had little to do with physicality and more to do with Costa’s predatory instincts.

                Costa was kept noticeably quiet against QPR, where it was also noted that Richard Dunne ‘did a job on him’. Richard Dunne is again 6ft 2” but intriguingly a bit stockier than Costa and quite a bit heavier than Skrtel at 88kg. It seems there could be an argument made that Costa played right into his hands if he was trying to outmuscle Richard Dunne.

                Looking further back in the weeks where Costa really came to the fore bagging a brace and then a hat trick, it is interesting to see that in both these games, the CB’s were significantly smaller and lighter than Costa. I looked at the goals, and while most were from fluid play, great passing and finishing from Fabregas and Costa, there was a case in each game of Costa shrugging off the CB to power home a header.

                Jordi Amat is 6ft 78Kg replaced by Fernandez, 6ft 2” 81kg in the game where Costa bagged a hat trick. Jagielka is also 6ft , 83kg up against Costa where he bags a brace.

                In short, it seems kinda obvious. Big Striker does well against small Centre Backs from set piece situations. Stop the presses! 😆 And in truth I haven’t done much research on this, as there are a lot of other external factors. The quality of the CB’s, the fact that Costa scores plenty from open play etc. but I think it is worth noting especially when considering putting the armband on him that Costa’s physicality was a factor in each of the times he scored a big haul and could well be a factor again.

                And for reference, West Broms CB paring is Lescott 6ft 2” 82kg, Dawson 6ft 2” 85kg. All height and weight I just googled so don’t shoot me if I’m wrong 😀

                    Since it's a really small sample size, do you mind researching the height and weight of all of the CB partnerships he faced in La Liga? Cheers Badger.

                  Lescott will also continuously blind Costa with the greasy sun glare off his enormous forehead making it more difficult for him to bury scoring chances.

                      It's a team effort here on FFS 🙂 Also thinking given the size and physicality expected between Costa and those two CBs hoping as a non-Costa owner that he gets in the book! 🙂

                  I'd say this would definitely go down as over thinking it.

                    To be honest, I don't know mysefl the point I'm trying to make 😆 Captain Costa against midget defenders maybe?

                  not pointless. In fact it's pointmore (that's a word from now on)
                  One would certainly need size, strength, aggresion, tenacity and of course ability to hope to keep him quiet.
                  Have a +1 for such a tasty word salad.

                    The true victory of this post is the introduction of the word Pointmore. Long may it last.

                    That all makes sense but the QPR and Liverpool games were away and Chelsea were playing counter attack , at home they will control and dominate and Costa will get much more opportunities and being such a predator I think he will Bury at least 2

                      Have Costa and Aguero the form kun is in at the moment I can't take armband away from him

                            Who's playing cb for Swansea? Bartley? Or Amat/Fernandez? Suppose it doesn't matter they are all crap.

                            Agüero (c) on volume of shots on target.

                                I'm thinking , league leaders at home , attacking philosophy, Costa spearhead of attack clinical finisher, will do better than City in bad form away to defensively solid Swans and Aguero has been wasteful

                                  Aguero has been wasteful? That's a bit harsh 😆 Agreed he might have scored more but hardly wasteful. It s not like he spurns opportunities. He creates them.

                        Interesting theory bsloe but as you point out there are a lot of external factors and we working off a small pool of data.

                        Will keep my captaincy happily on aguero and watch with interest

                          Yeah lot so f other factors alright put it's worth noting for the future, esp if he comes across a 5ft 10" 74kg CB lol

                        If your 83-84 KGS and playing against Costa I'd recommend a large breakfast you never know when that extra kg will come in handy.

                        Just because Costa and Skrtel got the headlines.. what about Liverpool's other CB? there is more than one you know

                            Well I say good riddance to them! My bottom lip would fall if the height still gives weight to Costa's output.

                      It's not this week I'm worried about it's GW13.

                      At the moment I have 4 players doubtful and optimistic that only Baines is a serious doubt. However I do have 5 players on 4 yellows. If they all pick up another booking I'm fooked.

                      Sort of on the back of that great burning questions article earlier, but new crowd (best crowd) here on the DZ was curious to ask. What three Chelsea assets are you looking to have for the near future? Dithering between double defense and Hazard versus double defense and Costa versus 1 defender, Hazard, and Costa here....

                        Already have Costa
                        Getting hazard this week
                        All goes to plan will get azpi 2 weeks after that after trading down pelle to Austin to fund it next week

                          Costa and Hazard not too many eggs in one attacking basket for you, Zan?

                            I like to double down on good fixture runs for form teams
                            And Costa looks like the 2nd best striker and hazard the 2nd best Mf so both warrant inclusion when looked at in isolation.

                        Probably just Azpi and Costa. No room for a Chelsea mid for me.

                            At least for the next 3 weeks. After that I'd probably prefer Walcott over a Chelsea mid anyway. From memory, the Christmas period is when Mou really grinds out results/narrow wins.

                              Yeah that makes sense. Walcott will probably be a better shout than AdM and Hazard once starting anyways. Double Chelsea defense could really do the trick. Can't help myself but seeing past it...

                                After the success story that double Southampton defence has been for me, I might be slightly tempted too...

                              Yeah Walcott the joker in the pack who might upset my Sanchez hazard combo

                                Yeah I mean I am looking at possibly being able to double Chelsea defense and have Baines in addition to Walcott Hazard Alexis in mid versus having to sort of rip it up in order to accommodate Costa in up top. Think it might be more fun to go without Costa..though far more risky.

                        I have got hazard fabs and costa. Plan to sell one of the midfield ones to get sanchez or di maria when fixtures or suspensions or injury happens

                          Staying clear of their defense, then?

                        I've had Cesc and Costa since the beginning, have some spare cash so was thinking of adding Hazard

                          Tripling their attack was not something I had considered 😀 Too bold for me.

                        Hazard Oscar and Azpi/Terry

                          9 years, 11 months ago

                          Why no Costa for you, AR?

                            well it's really down to Oscar + Coleman vs Costa + Naylor for me, and looking at the latter pair's form has swayed me, not too mention Costa is on 4 YC's and up against Lescott and Dawson this round 😀

                              Well you certainly have flair in your favor. Still not a big fan of Oscar myself. He really screwed me over last year.

                        GK/def, Haz, Costa

                        Have Hazard since creation, though am still monitoring him vs AdM long term. One has to go in order to fund Costa which will liven up my teams ability to climb the rankings. Unless Costa gets another YC, or just shows horrible form, it may even prove to be a great asset having three premium mids on my side & opting for a Giroud or Bony for the secod tier spot (At the expense of Costa of course). Though right now, Costa just seems the way to go for me, another great skipper option to compliment Aguero.

                        Costa will definitely be on my side, will be planning on having him for a while (if possible), he's in form + now w/ Sturridge out, he has poor competition for the second big hitter spot
                        The only strikers who might overtake him are Giroud & possibly Bony/Gomis.

                        For the last spot, I'm eyeing up Azpi or JT. JT's recent goal scoring threat from set-pieces both internationally & at club level has proven hard to resist. Though, maybe Azpi's total BAPS might even out or even better JT's goal scoring through out the season. Currently on Azpi.

                          9 years, 11 months ago

                          The one thing about captaincy for Costa is that looking at his home games from now until Jan WC is GW14 16 and 18 are all favorable with Spurs, Hull, and West Ham respectively. However in that time Aguero in GW14 has at Sunderland which isn't great but still captainable and then Alexis has GW16 NEW and GW18 QPR....both fantastic captaincy games....while Aguero has away games in those two even though those two away games are against Leicester and West Brom. In short, I don't think the captaincy option of Costa is tooo too overwhelming of a factor.

                        My browser isn't allowing me to reply to messages, but changed my chelski cover this week. Taken out Cesc allowing me to bring back Costa. Now have Hazard, Costa and Cahill.

                        I only have Hazard. Not sure if I will downgrade Clyne to free up cash for attacking reinforcements or if I will upgrade him to Azpi.

                        Azpi Hazard (currently on Fab) and Costa are who Im looking at. Already have Costa and Fab and transferring in Azpi this week unless these damn injuries keep piling up 😆

                      Great to start to day by watching Aguero's sublime goal when he was 16years old!

                        I would save FT unless ADm is out more than a week

                      Noob question, does yellow flag makes it more difficult for a player's value to drop?

                          and a clean sheet 🙂

                        Chester for me.

                          yeh? how do you justify that

                            I think Spurs going forward have been so woeful that I give Hull a chance for a clean sheet this weekend at home. Way better chance of keeping a clean sheet than leaky Arsenal I think.

                              Thx for verifying my thoughts, but still a coinflip I guess

                              9 years, 11 months ago

                              fair enough although I'd be very surprised if Spurs don't score

                                Surely w/ Chadders scoring, the guy's a myth, a man & a legend

                                  9 years, 11 months ago

                                  it would be most fortuitous if he could live up to that billing this weekend

                                I wouldn't be so surprised 😀

                        Tough call. How have hull been playing defensively? Tottenham dont look great attacking wise

                          9 years, 11 months ago

                          Cheers all, I guess I have to go with Chambers

                      9 years, 11 months ago

                      Bookies have Costa ahead of Aguero in the goalscorer odds

                      Surprised by this?

                      1. UnderstandablyDistraught
                        • 13 Years
                        9 years, 11 months ago

                        no but would have rated them as equal

                      2. Walsh
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                        9 years, 11 months ago

                        Not really. Chelsea attack fit and firing and best team clear cut in the league while there are at least some question marks surrounding City. As our distraught friend stated though, expect both to score at least one this weekend.

                        1. Scoredelario
                          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                          • 13 Years
                          9 years, 11 months ago

                          So who are you captaining? I usually go with bookies odds but this one is close and I like Aguero

                          1. Walsh
                            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                            • 10 Years
                            9 years, 11 months ago

                            Aguero as I don't have Costa. I would captain Aguero even if I had Costa though. Fit Aguero at home to anyone other than Chelsea is an auto-captain for me.

                      3. BeachBadger
                        • 11 Years
                        9 years, 11 months ago

                        Does that include odds of bagging a brace or more? Maybe not important for PP but important to my captaincy lol

                        It is intersting though

                        1. Scoredelario
                          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                          9 years, 11 months ago

                          Generally those odds correspond although I'd say Aguero is more likely

                      If you were planning to sell Tadic next week anyway, would you keep for one more week or get Chadli or Siggy now?

                      A) Keep
                      B) Chadli
                      C) Siggy

                        Siggy for sure next week, great fixtures also

                        Keep if he looks set to play based on Koeman's presser and move on for Siggy next week. If he isn't fit to play I'd just get Siggy now.
