Our Members can now start picking apart the day’s action via our player and team statistics, as OPTA data has now been uploaded from Saturday’s matches played so far. Members should use the Gameweek drop-down in the top right-hand corner of the Members Area to view the “Current Gameweek” statistics.
A quick glance picks out some performances of note that provide some pointers to likely Bonus Point destinations. Charlie Adam’s 3 Bonus looks inevitable given his involvement, which can clearly be seen atop the “Distribution & Influence” table. The same applies to West Ham’s Scott Parker and Mark Noble – the latter could well feature if the Bonus judges take his “Key Passes” into consideration. Charles N’Zogbia’s dribbling talents should see him land him maximum Bonus from Wigan’s point at Anfield if the stats and previous trends are anything to go by. Birmingham’s Seb Larsson also looks in line for some supplementary points – check out his”Influence” from today’s 1-0 win over Stoke.
As for the strikers – Luis Suarez’ first full match stats are certainly of interest – Members can see for themselves how he looks set to rival the top strikers in terms of influence. He, together with Robin Van Persie and Demba Ba, look nailed on for Bonus points later this evening.
We will of course analyse all these statistics, along with those from this evening and tomorrow’s kick-offs, in a Members’ Numbers Game article next week.
