KPI Forward Analysis – 2013/14 Most Improved

With the World Cup on pause for a couple of days, we take time to delve into the domestic data from the 2013/14 season. In the first of a series of features focussing on the KPI statistics in the Members area, we assess the most improved forwards over the season gone by, listing the main players in accordance with goal attempts from inside the box:

For the unfamiliar, these Key Performers Indicator (KPI) tables are designed to use a series of key stats to allow our members to track form or change in player performance. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics and comparing over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain each player’s form, whether it be an improvement or decrease in displays on the pitch. As mentioned in last summer’s introductory article, we’ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

For the purpose of this series of articles, we analyse the previous two seasons as a means of comparison:

            Evening guys,

            Just looking for some thoughts and opinions on a work world cup fantasy league I am involved in.

            Scoring is different to the other games and is as follows:

            Goal +5
            Hattrick +5
            Clean Sheet (GK) +7
            Clean Sheet (DEF) +5
            Clean Sheet (MID) +2
            Assist +2
            Team Win +2
            Starting 11 +2
            Come on as a Sub +1
            Goal Conceded (GK & DEF) -1
            Team Lose -2
            Yellow Card -2
            Red Card -4
            Own Goal -5

            I have 4 players to pick from Brazil vs Columbia and Germany vs France on Friday.

            I already have Julio Cesar, Evra, Muller, James and Benzema.

            Both really tough games to call, thoughts much appreciated on the 4 you guys would pick?

                Yeh can see Evra and Cesar getting me very little, but I already have them so would rather add four players on top of the ones already in my team. Hopefully try and maximise points.

                I also have to choose a captain which is going to be tougher!

              I think so.

              Brazil have not been good all tournament and I can't see that changing against the hottest team out there. Colombia will expose their poor defence for what it really it.

              Look out Rio - riots could ensue.

                I did put a fiver on Colombia at the start of the tournament at 50-1 though so I am also a little biased and pulling for my bet.

            I have some thinking how to keep my 43 pts lead in mini league... I think that best option is little strange but could work, my plan is to go completely defensive, because defenders an def mids have safest points and games in this stage are very tight... Mc donald's game...

            Cillessen
            Varane, Mertesacker, Luiz, Fernandez, Van Buyten, De Vrij, 1
            Lahm, Mascerano, J. Rodriguez (not so sure about him in this stage, somebody else maybe), Tejeda
            Messi, Neymar, Robben

            Any thoughts? Thanks, cheers!

              this looks pretty much template for on here. Wish I had 43 points gap I have 8 point gap at the top to 2nd and 50+ point gap to 3rd

            playing a game where each goal conceded is -1 and each save is 1 pt. also, a clean sheet is 5 pts.

            so theoretically, Navas could equal Cilessen even if it's 2-0 Nederland, as long as he gets 7 saves to 0 saves for Cilessen. or am i overthinking it? i just think Nederland could be peppering the Costa Rica goal with 20+ shots.

                Agreed - they are a proper threat and with both teams playing counter-attacking it could be a bit of a slow match to start.

              Doubt it. He played well, but RVP is LVG's main man - especially with a whole season together about to start.

              With the exception of the Mexico game, Veep has been great and is a game-changer.

              Not sure.

              I can see LVG shifting his game plan completely to deal with the Costa Rica's counter attacking approach - my guess is 4-3-3 like we saw against Australia.

              Maybe Janmaat and DeGuzman back in the squad?
