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:

    Repost from botttom of last page as I need a fair few votes on my dilemmas.:)

    Cillessen
    Hummels - Sakho - Van Buyten - Di Vrij - Zapata - Blind - Fernandez
    James Rodriguez - Mascherano - Fernandinho - Valbuena - Lahm - Tejeda
    Messi - RVP

    Looks decent? 🙂

    Dilemma 1 - RVP+Hummels or Mert+Robben?
    Dilemma 2 - Tejeda+Cillessen or Navas+ Non playing mid?

          I'd rather have backup if the first guy fails to deliver.

          Cillessen is probably going to have a quiet night v Costa Rica anyways.....wouldn't be banking on too many save points there.

            True that. A backup is always good. But both Cillessen and Navas playing in the last game makes the decision a little difficult for me.

    As amazingly surprising and nailbiting this WC has been, I'd admit that the top teams have mostly prevailed so far.

    Not everyday do 8 group toppers move into the QF, and even among them, except Costa Rica and partly, Netherlands, all were favorites to win the group.

    Somehow makes me feel that we will see Brazil, Netherlands, Germany and Argentina in the semifinals.

          Pretty high on FFS WC standards. Unless you're looking at winning it, then you should have 515 points like 5th placed Roscola.

          btw, are you by any chance related to Rani Mukherjee? 😉

        Germany just keep getting it done in major tournaments. They may not have clicked yet but here they are at QF stage.

      These buyout clauses are overrated The clubs actually have to pay more(in terms of Taxes etc.For eg in Spain 35 m buyout clause is equivalent to 50m.Not sure how it is in Portugal) if they go for that approach.

        Wouldn't mind him as our fifth choice midfielder, tbh. Especially if he comes for 3-4 million, could atleast be of more service than Diaby.

          I know, that must be Wenger's thinking, but I had enough jeers when we signed Silvestre from ManU fans. 🙁

            But what I've been hearing, we are offering 4-5 million less than Liverpool than Sanchez, although he wants to come here.

            This time around, I wouldn't be able to forgive Wenger if we miss out on Sanchez. Could very well be his time to leave.

              Not in Luis Enrique's plans. Wenger is a fool if we miss out on him to Liverpool.

                Exactly. We've been strengthening the other PL teams all these years by giving our players, but getting outbidded is worse. 😐

    Kvitova vs Halep, if both win their semis, could well be the most compelling Wimbledon final in recent history.

        Gonna go with Atletico Madrid, Melbourne City, New York City, Bayer Leverkusen/Dortmund, Monaco (the James Rodríguez factor) - maybe not 100% them.
