Infographic – Head to Head – Ozil vs Eriksen

Gonna (C) Erikson and (VC) Ozil for the heck of it next week, Giroud really worked for 2 weeks so far.

This week only lads

Lamps

or

Eriksen

Cech (Boruc)
Zabaleta Coleman Collins (Clyne Amorebieta)
Walcott HBA Nolan Lamela (Jedinak)
Giroud Soldado Sturridge

Bit early I know, but what would you do with that lot this week? 1 FT, nothing in the bank.

Jumped the gun on Lamela but hopefully he'll start this week.

Any thoughts?

I like infographics, but there is always a danger that they slip into being a designer's showcase that look good visually but do less of a good job at imparting information in a clear way that focuses on they key facts and strips out all the extraneous noise.

A great infographic will do both of these well, but if it has to be a choice, I would take well presented data over a nice look and feel any day.

If I'm being critical, this one does have a few shortcomings on the data presentation (I'm not really qualified to talk about the graphical design side, which looks great). For example as others have mentioned it's difficult to compare the numbers when they are laid out on top of each other. You are constantly having to flit up and down the page to compare the same stat for each player. However this would also be true (to a lesser extent) if the numbers were presented as player A on the left and player B on the right. As a third solution I think it would be easier to read if it was each statistic that was grouped together rather than each player.

Secondly, the numbers for touches/final third/in the box/minutes per touch are given more size prominence than numbers for the other stats. I'm not sure whether this is a deliberate attempt to focus on these numbers as being more important. To my mind the goal attempts and chances created are more important from a FPL perspective, so should be given the most prominence.

Thirdly I find the average position map a bit confusing. Are they pointers where the apex indicates the actual position of the player, or does the centre of the circle indicate the position? And the impact is lessened without seeing the context of where their average positions were in relation to their team mates. For example you can't tell from this pitch map that Eriksen's and Soldado's average position were almost identical.

I don't mean to put a downer of this particular infographic (I'd love to see more of them!); so I'm writing this more from a perspective of constructive criticism.

On a wildcard which would you get?
A - RVP & Barkley
Or
B- Benteke & Ozil

Has to be B right?

ugh - repost as lost on last page

Quite a conundrum I've got here. So front 8 is

Michu - Silva - Hazard - Brady - Kim

Soldado - Giroud - Van Wolf

3.3 in bank

A. Silva > Eriksen, then Van Wolf > Rooney in GW6

B. Van Wolf > Sturridge

Was all set for doing B this week, but Villa at home for Van Wolf, and Rooney becoming an option has put me off.

Okay, I love this site and all your hard work Mark, but I gotta say infographics are just a way o making stats look prettier but much harder to read, just give us he facts in an easy to read table please.

Who on here was adamant Sturridge would be out of tonight's game?

ps His scoring form is going to continue 😉

Still hanging on to my wildcard, but I'm sorely tempted to use it. If Silva is confirmed out for Sunday's game, I could take ah it to swap him for any midfielder since i have 4.2m in the bank. Ozil or Eriksen, probably.

Boruc (Foster)
Ivanovic, Coleman, Toure (Burner, Ward)
Silva, Coutinho, Nolan, Ramsey (Brady)
Soldado, Benteke, Lambert

My head to head opponent http://i.imgur.com/H9ybvx1.png he has barkley as a first sub

Do you think I can make it? not sure what I need..

Who would you captain next week?

A) RVP v MCI
B) Giroud v STK
C) Walcott v STK
D) Lampard v WHU

Would appreciate some feedback, quite keen to jerk in HBA or Eriksen to free up some money for a Soldado>Rooney in the future, should I go Hazard out for one of the above or save my FT and wait, feels weird not doing anything this week:

Migs/4.0
Vidic/Terry/Coleman/Collins (Burner)
Hazard/Wally/Michu (JWP/Brady)
Giroud/Benteke/Soldado

Thoughts?

To all fellow Mirallais owners. Who of you is thinking about doing Mirallais--->Barkley? Barkley is very advance, VERY budget friendly, and allows us to improve defense by more than just a bit. Your thought mates?

Gerrards 400th time to captain Liverpool tonight, I am feeling like a classic Gerrard coming up!

No chance, you need a Michu hatty or Migs to save 2 penalties.

Is it worth using a wildcard? (Very average start to the season)

Mignolet Boruc
Toure Coleman B.Turner Chester Ward
Walcott Coutinho Hazard Mirallas Barkley
Lambert Benteke Soldado

Just noticed another ML rival has joined the fantasyfootballscout league 🙁 . Kudos to the team for the increased visibility but you're making my job harder 😛 .

If Hazard starts on Wednesday night do we think he'll start on the weekend?

With rotation an even bigger problem this year does anybody know where we can access nailedoniness information ?...I can obviously find appearances and minutes played but that means little without the information of "when available"...Put simply...How could i find how many games Chadli plays (for example) when fully fit and availabe...is it two out of four games or three out of four games...? With Chelsea/Spurs/City/United looking like a minefield it's surely one of the biggest considerations this season...Anybody know how i could access/track that ?

For members, check out the threat stats and specifically Eto'o this GW. Interesting if you ask me, especially his shots in box ratio. Watching the game I thought he looked sharp, considering he was just thrown into it. He missed his chances but he was in the right areas, movement was good.

Really keen on doing lambert -> sturridge but to do so i need 0.9. Which is the best way to fund this? All transfers are for -4

a) hazard -> lamps

b) hazard -> eriksen

c) mertesacker -> wisdom (back line of coleman, shaw, ryan bennet, chester and wisdom)

Just wondering what sort of overall league position are people happy with at this early stage of the game?

One Suarez brace, or hat-trick and the whole complexion changes, perhaps. Current ownership 0.6%. Due back in two weeks, nailed on every week and easy to captain (first game sunderland). RVP until then 😉

Drinks on me if Egypt goes to bazil

Why can't i change the URL linked to my name? I checked the box saying change URL still nothing happened

Coutinho goal later would be lovely.

Is Lukaku on anyone's radar?

Who to bring in for mirallas?

A) lamps
B) hazard
C) eriksen

*already have soldado

Looking forward to Suarez coming back. Gerrard owner looking forward to some penalties 🙂

Everyone with Sturridge in the Sky game made him captain for today?
