KPI Analysis – Defenders, Last Four Gameweeks

Having previously assessed the form of forwards and midfielders across the last four Gameweeks, our third Key Performance Indicator (KPI) article of the international break casts an eye over the defenders.

For the unfamiliar, these Key Performers Indicator (KPI) tables use a series of key stats to allow our members to track a trend in player performance as a guide to their form. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics, such as minutes per chance, and comparing them over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain patterns of improvement or decline in these areas. For those unfamiliar, we’ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

    Benches, assemble.

    Looking forward to a weekend where "squads" are put to the test

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      My bench will probably end up being Baines, Moore and Obertan. 0 minutes, 0 points.

      Got XI starters who look pretty nailed on though.

    Stewart Downing, Diafra Sakho, Enner Valenica, and Winston Reid have all taken knocks during the international break, and look increasingly unlikely to play on Saturday.

        ironviews just posted this, I thought he was fine too but it's latest post. Hopefully just a mix up

      He is fine. He was on the bench for England

  3. mranonymous

    Chambers v Duff to start this week?

    1. ralfb
      • 9 Years

    Worst international break in history?

  5. Van Dal

    Are we human or we dancers?

      That's obviously a spoof but still funny.

  7. Salah’s Sonnet

    Oh great, add Sakho to my list of injured players as well as baines and fab 🙂

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That's getting off lightly compared to most.

    The right ordered bench will be a huge factor this Gameweek...
    What is yours currently?
    Chambers, Marney, Yun here

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Boyd Moore Naylor

      *vomits

    2. Tex
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Boyd, Wisdom, N Taylor.

    3. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Marney, Duff, Wisdom for AdM, Baines, & Sahko

  9. President John F. Keninnsie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Really tempted to do Baines > Azpi if he's definitely out this week....

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      And get Baines back the following week? I'd have faith in your bench Innsie - feel you have to keep Baines

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        If I do it I'd probably try last a few weeks without Baines...

        1. Goodnight Kiwi
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Feel you're getting a little lightheaded from being so high up here Innsie...

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            😆 Thanks for bringing me back to reality GK. Let's hope Naylor can get a cheeky assist 😉

            1. Goodnight Kiwi
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              That's the spirit!

    2. Parm
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A bit silly, you'll be wanting him back soon enough.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I guess you're right. Naylor to the rescue!

        1. Parm
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Do you not have a Clyne/Bertrand you can upgrade to Azpilicueta?

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah Clyne and Forster > Green/Guzan and Azpi is the plan for the next couple of weeks. I'll just hold Baines.

    3. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking of doing the same myself. The fixtures are hardly kind so now is as good a time as any.

  10. Mystic Carneiro
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Frustration on the horizon for Charlie Austin. Could be angling for a move in the January transfer window and be refused, or face a setback due to injury or serious foul play.

  11. Parm
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    The last international break until March and by far the worst one yet.

  12. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Last week wildcard. This week 5 are injured. 🙁

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ouch

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Exaggeration much?

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Nope

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You could have had 7 injuries . Look on the bright side

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I know how Van Gaal feels now. A new injury every other day.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      thanks

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        No problem. This international break is doing my head in.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Surely fine I say

    3. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years

      Sounds positive. Cheers.

      What happened to Marney?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Stoke away with so many potentially out, could be a great week for him to come off the bench...

  15. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years

    Played my WC last week and to get Sakho, Downing, Adm IN and Terry out(Baines) 😆 .. Gotta just laugh sometimes

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Similar story here. Might just save and hope for the best.

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      It's just downright unlucky. Fingers crossed at least the first three pull through.

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Oh, my favorite confusing negative percentage colorful article 😛

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why are the negatives green? Is green good? Negative good?

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Its minutes per whatever. So a reduction is good.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I am good with numbers but I think something has to be done regarding format of this type of KPI articles. So confusing, really don't quite understand it

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Same here and this

  17. shortymak
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    doing tadic welbeck pelle out
    siggy costa in 5.2 in bank what striker will iget

    1. Tex
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure there's many at that price that would play much. Steven Fletcher is 0.1 too expensive. Kane is maybe best bet, and I wouldn't say he's a certain starter.

  18. Not Irish
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    FFS Sakho. Now I have no idea what to do.

  19. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is Silva back this GW?

    1. Tex
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think so, haven't heard anything about him yet. Maybe Pellegrini sheds some light tomorrow or Friday.

  20. FPL Daniel

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years

        Means club football. It is good. Means GW in Wednesday and knowing the lineups. Me like it

  21. Jeremiah
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Evening lads 🙂 Any ideas for this bunch?

    Krul - Mannone
    Coleman - Clyne - Wisdom - Naylor - Moore
    ADM - Fab - Siggy - Downing - Marney
    Costa - Welbz - Aguero

    Thinking Fab & Welbz > Sanchez & Austin for free?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Surely now's not the time to get rid of Chelsea players.

      1. Jeremiah
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        ADM > Sanchez instead of Fab?

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Aye that'd be my preferred move.

        2. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Unless Fab is confirmed out of course.

  22. DrunkPhilosophy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Fabregas & Pelle to Chadli & Costa (-4)
    How does that look?

    1. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Would prefer siggy or downing if you don't have them. But good moves.

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I have Siggy and Sakho, I think Downing and Sakho might be too much WH

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same moves that I made so I vote excellent 🙂

    3. shortymak

    Should be a good week this.
    All these injuries will call out the casuals and template players.

    Don't know why everyone is complaining about the injuries. This is where the game gets interesting.
    A decent week this week and you'll shoot up the rankings.

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I agree. These are the weeks that separate the men from the boys and in some cases the haves (WC) from the have nots 🙂

  24. Goodnight Kiwi

    Pressers tomorrow/Friday should clear a few things up, calm down folks, no need to worry about escape routes yet, especially for player like Baines/Di María who are probably only going to miss this weekend and you'll undoubtedly want back after selling.

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Parm

        Good boy.

    3. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You think Di Maria will miss out? I was fairly confident about him 🙁

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I reckon he'll play, just using him as an example to emphasise my point.

        1. MJ6987
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Ah right

    4. DrunkPhilosophy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed. I have Baines, ADM, Fabregas, and Sakho as my injured players.
      Already considering transferring Fab out to get Costa, and hoping at least two of the other three will end up playing this week.

  26. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Will they play yes / no?

    A. Baines

    Its probably going to be one of those weeks were the best and safest differential is not take a hit . Scores will probably be very low . Would yous have Cork or Chambers first sub ?

      Whenever I think "a lot of people will have taken hits this week" I look at FPL Discovery and the average points hits are like 0.9

    Berahino, Duff and Wisdom should be good enough bench to not take a hit this week I guess.. only DiMaria and Baines yellowed so far
