The โStats Compare Toolโ is the current work in progress for the Members Area. Weโre hoping to have a first iteration of this new members feature available by the end of next week, at which point weโll 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 weโve 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 โlast four Gamweeks”, their โlast four matchesโ 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.
Weโre 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 weโre 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 youโre viewing or have selected.
Theyโll hopefully be more news on this development, plus a movie previewing the feature, at some stage next week.
