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.

        Yeh! Take a f*cking guess ya dick!! 😆

          Give me a second series, you sh!t.

    Anyone swapping out Fab and bringing in Oscar?

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

      Oscar Bravo Sierra.....no

        i need striker under 5.2
        was thinking naismith ayoze or zamora oh decisions decisions

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      That what you're doing?

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

      Nope, but maybe when he gets another YC. Allows me to upgrade Moore to Cahill

    Hi Guy, playing my wild card this week, this is what I have come up with, any suggestions would be appreciated

    Foster, Krul
    Lovren, Cahill, Dummett, Chambers, Wisdom
    Sigurdsson, Hazard, Sánchez, Downing, Dorians
    Diego Costa, Ayoze, Agüero

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lovren is appalling, in a terrible defensive team. I don't like Ayoze as well. Can't see him being first choice when Cisse is fit.

    2. buffrey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Surely you can get better than Lovren?

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

      I'd Make Dorrans cheaper and upgrade Ayoze if you can. I'd probably get rid of Lovren too until Liverpool show something convincingly defensively and use that to upgrade 3rd attacker too. Austin would probably be my target.

      It risks making squad templatey but:
      Dorrans
      Dorrans to Boyd
      Ayoze to Austin
      Lovren to best available defender. Maybe Swansea.

    4. Cousin Greg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Get a West Ham defender instead of Lovren.

    5. FAITHNOMORENO
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      would change chambers to duff maybe and find way to invest in coleman or baines instead of lovren.

  4. andres
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Baines, di maria, sakho... I smell a hit!

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

      Probably best to do nothing and hope for the best

  5. QWOP
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Chadli, Downing or another 7.5 mid? Already have Sigurdsson.

    1. Kip
      • 10 Years

      Downing

      If you can't field 11 with a -4, think I would. Wait for definite news on ADM, Sch & Sak tho, couple of those might make it maybe.

          Absolutely, arguably my favourite comic. Hard to see how rough it was behind the scenes but doesn't change the comedy at all!

        Then again, I thought Jimmy Saville was ace back then.
        The young Boss Hogg perhaps wasn't the best judge of character...

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Very true, wasn't around when he was in his prime so all my exposure to him has been watching old tapes and shows, now I see the darker side!

    1. Parm

      No one is 'officially' out of the starting XI, but he doesn't seem to be favoured by Pearson anymore.

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

      Top top team, would like Di María in there if he's fit with 2 favourable home fixtures after Arsenal but I can understand the decision to go for Hazard instead.

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

        Yeah. Its a tough call to leave him out tbh.

        But going by the stats his ppg for me was no better than Mata or Ramsey early season. Both a good bit cheaper and I didn't bat an eye losing either of them. Different with ADM.

        If I could have him for Downing through some freaking of value I'd be laughing lol

    5. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Great side mate, will do you good for sure

      Only critique would be the GK, I'd opt for Adrian or Fabi personally. Just don't see many cleanies in Guzan tbh

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  15. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 11 Years

    Is playing wisdom at Stanford bridge any better than not having a defender at all?

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

      Yeah

    2. President John F. Keninnsie

      Maybe 1 point better 😀

    If Costa, Pelle and Naylor all get their 5th yellow this week, I'll probably cry.

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

      You're planning on holding Pelle Inns? He's out for me next week

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

        I'd rather ship the defenders first, you'd expect Southampton to score against most teams and if they do I reckon Pelle is likely to be involved.

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

          Think the decision to keep or sell SOU players could make a real shake up of ranks over the next few GWs, as they're owned by so many. This decision could be a pivotal season maker/breaker

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

            Yeah that's exactly how I feel too. There's definitely going to be some success stories, whether they're from SOU sellers or holders, we'll have to wait and see 🙂

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

          Saints away don't score much lately, and Pelle hasn't been in the goals for a while.
          I got him as well, if that helps!

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years

            I'll give him Man City at home and then reassess 😉

    Someone on here before said AdM trained with the team today. Anyone else see those pictures?

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

      Yes, but the picture was an old picture of him training from October

        :/ thanks

          Look at Man Utd's Facebook page second post down and compare picture of Di Maria with this from October

          https://twitter.com/mufcdevilphotos/status/525670358922588160

          Are they trying to trick Arsene?

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            The assumption being that Arsene will make tactical adjustments? lol

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

              Good point.

            😯 that's absolutely ridiculous if they are

            Then again, they could just be showing the team Rooney picked. No mention that those pictures are from today's training.

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

              Yeah, could be that

    Any tips??

      I'd wait for more info on Di Maria and Tadic before doing anything.

      Mannone, Ward-Prowse and Van Aanholt, Naismith and maybe Diame would be guys I'd move on in near future.

      Van Aanholt is prob most pressing transfer, yun frees up some money to look at other positions.

    Oh well, now I've Sakho in my list of Hamer, Coloccini, Naughton, S Davis and Tadic. And maybe ADM as well.

    Would be fun playing 9 players.

      At least you manage to avoid Baines 😎

        After how well he has delivered his owners, they must bear with him for a week.

    Dear fans, unfortunately my back pain makes me unfit for the game
    I'm as devastated as you are, but i'll be back!
    Thanks 4 your support!

      Guess that answers my above question!

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He's talking about the game for his national team though, no neccessarily for West Ham.

    2. Timtastic03
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Think he's talking about the international there. Doesn't bode well but could still feature vs Everton

    1FT and £1.6m in the bank. Already decided I'm doing Bego>Fabianski and Tadic>someone(downing?) next week so I could do with saving my transfer. Only problem is my XI will be pretty weak is Baines/Tadic/ADM don't start and I have to field my Burnley lads as well as Berahino away to Chelsea.

    Can anyone help me with a plan over the next couple weeks plz? Thx 🙂

      Could be a place holder until Walcott fully up and running again.
