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.
