KPI Forwards Analysis – 2013/14 Downturn

After analysing the Most Improved forwards of 2013/14 in accordance with our KPI (Key Performance Indicators) members tables, we now cast an eye over those strikers who suffered a drop in frequency across a number of attacking areas:

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. The players featured must have started at least 10 league games and are listed according to frequency of goals on target.

      in that "3" game for Messi he actually missed when coming alone with the keeper. He also had 2 free kicks from right outside the box (or was it more?). I think it was a freak occurence, won't happen again. He is in the goals tonight!

    About 50 points ahead in my McD league. Thinking of going with Mascherano as captain over Messi for a safe bet but my fear is that he is prone to yellow and possible reds. I wonder whether being in a WC semi final will curtail any reckless challenges...
