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.

    Guzan Foster
    Baines Chambers Azpil Taylor (New) Duff
    Sanchez Hazard Downing Siggy Ameobi

      Good. Maybe Krul over Guzan and Yun over staylor.

      Boyd a safer pick than ameobi for 5th mid too.

      1. Balrath123
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Just thought Guzan fixtures bit more favourable than Krul after next 2 wks

          Yeah possibly....if villa can start finding CSs again though. Double check staylor fit too.

    Gameweek 12 = Week of Injury

    Gameweek 13 = Week of the Suspension?

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Gameweek 14 = Week of the called off games.

        True ...dont know where to start ?

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Wait. Last minute decision. Review fan forums for hints on starting 11s.

    Can't see sturridge being back until 10/01/15

    Guessing people leaving sterling alone

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nah will be at least out until 11/01/15

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

        Your right what I was thinking 😉

    2. daveoafc77
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling will have his time again but confidence at Liverpool is so low he wont be worth the risk for a while even if he has a decent return soon

  6. Evans
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Coleman or azpillcueta ?

    1. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I have neither but think I'll get azpi in.

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

      Azpi

    3. multiple.scoregasms
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      had the same choice, went with coleman

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

      azpi. About to start racking up clean sheets.

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

      As I currently have it:
      Baines - unlikely
      Sakho - unlikely
      Fabregas - likely to play
      ADM - likely to play
      Shaw - likely to play
      DDG - likely to play
      Hutton - likely to play
      Falcao - likely to play
      Downing - likely to play
      Tadic - likely to play
      Welbeck - likely to play
      Sturridge - dead

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Wow, quite a list. Decent team, that!

        Cheers.

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

          You're right! Should have set it out like this
          DDG
          Baines, Shaw, Hutton
          ADM, Fab(vc), Downing, Tadic
          Sakho(c), Falcao, Welbeck

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

            Someone, somewhere, has this team!

        2. Qubit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yeh, thats most of of my team that is!

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

        Lol... poor Sturridge

  8. Shiner
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Opinions needed please lads. Current team:

    Fabianski (Elliot)

    Moreno / Clyne / Baines / Chambers / Wisdom

    Sanchez / Di Maria / Sigurdson / Downing / Schneiderlin

    Aguero / Pelle / Berahinio 0.2 ITB

    PLAN:
    Di Maria > Oscar
    Schneiderlin > Boyd
    Pelle > Costa

    Can anyone see / suggest a better alternative???

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

      For this GW or next?

      1. Shiner
        • 9 Years

        This week...

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years

      How many trades do you have?

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

        2

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Right well if ADM is fit I would suggest just Schneiderlin to Boyd to free up cash and roll over the other ft. Pelle is a good player to have this gw and Costa teetering on 4 yellow cards. Wouldn't want to be selling ADM either.

  9. Bakeyournoodle23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sakho, Milner, Clyne, Marc Wilson to......

    A) Ayoze, Chadli, Azpilicueta, Yun

    B) Ayoze, Downing, Azpilicueta, Neil Taylor

    C) Just Clyne to Azpilicueta....

    Just keen to do more as Di Maria, Fabregas, Sakho + Marc Wilson all doubts!

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years

    Last week I really thought I had a grata team for this week.
    I've managed to acquire eight flags since then

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

      8 😯

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Now Parm is gone the king is mine 😎

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

          Yeah I saw. Didn't even think to make a move for him 😳

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            :mrgreen:
            I might consider giving him to you for your first and second pick and first round pick next season. Maybe 😉

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

              I can give you err... Bruntiesta for him.

              1. Get up ya bum
                • 14 Years

                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  You can offer him to ENR in exchange for Hazard 😉

                  1. Get up ya bum
                    • 14 Years

    Who do you guys think will be this weekend's Boyd and come in from the bench to get an unlikely return?

    Wanyama? Boyd again? Trying to see if any of the popular cheapos have a decent fixture.

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

      I think Marney will steal the headlines this week

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        this

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

      Naylor assist to a Bony headed goal. You heard it here first.

    3. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Albrighton. It's payback time.

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

    4. tm245
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I will go with Wisdom to nab a late goal in a 4-1 loss.

    5. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Boyd. All hail the king 😎

  12. Puyol Pants Up

    Krul (Myhill)
    Baines Azpi Naylor (Wisdom Saylor)
    Sanchez Oscar Siggy Chadli (Boyd)
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Getting rid of Pelle next week, who do I get in to replace?

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Austin/Bony

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Looking at predicted lineups and Saylor expected to play, why would you play Naylor?

    3. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      austin, unless he gets injured (the way things are going...)

    1. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Dummet will maybe rise

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

      Dummett should be rising

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

      Dummet should rise says FFF
      PvA to drop tomorrow, & Clyne to rise as well

    4. FISSH

      Tbh, I'm secretly hoping he isn't fit so I can swap him out 😀

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

        Bojan and Walters double up? 😉

    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Woah now Sakho's injured too. Noice.

    a) 3-4-3 with Bony and Oscar
    or
    b) 3-5-2 with Siggy and Hazard

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

      A million times B

      1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya

    Baines: Keeping or selling?

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      depends on how long he is out for 😀

      if only this week keep imo, because you will always want him back

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sell please and make him cheaper for me 🙂

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

        This please

    3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Keep.

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

      Keeping for sure, Duff will do for this week

  19. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    My defence is -

    Baines** Saylor** Clyne Chambers Moore?

    If Baines and Saylor don't play I'll be hoping for a Moore start! Would start with the first 3 though?

    Not worth going -4 would rather play 10 players and take the risk

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Agree

  20. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance of Silva playing at weekend?

    I'm off the the Etihad to watch the game and he's a chap I'd like to see!

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

      No chance sadly, City hope he'll be back for the Bayern match.

  21. Liastro ⭐️
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Best 4.5m defender or under that isn't Wisdom or Saylor?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Duff or Hutton?

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

      It really depends on how well they would rotate with your other ubers,
      Dummet, Hutton (fit), Yun, Duff, all solid options, but it really depends on who your defenders are IMO

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Collins is interesting but not nailed...Duff probably

  22. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What the hell is Sturridge doing in training?

    He's getting a phenomenal amount of injuries from this training malarkey...

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Liverpool physio must be an Everton fan.

  23. fitzy
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Managed to come out of the international week with minimal flags compared (Baines and Di Maria) compared to some people.

    First week i'm going to be saving a transfer this year infact. What a weird week to be able to do that.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Two much comparing

      Second time I'm saving this season, the other was also during an international break. It didn't go well...

      Yes! I know the feeling. Watching other teams fall apart feels like a war scene where my squad is a defiant, nationally symbolic building surrounded by burning, blitzed, crumbling structures.

      My team is St Paul's, in case you hadn't guessed. Everyone else's is just rubble.

    Someone tell me I'm not the only one who wondered why nobody was commenting on hot topics?

    I am very much an advocate of the "transfer early" strategy this season based mainly upon the principle that actually not that many injuries occur mid-gameweek, so it's best to ride your luck and grab the price rises.

    This gameweek seems to be proving me wrong.

    Apart from Baines, however, I seem to have escaped the wrath of the injury demons so far this week (although I heard rumours that Guzan is out?)

    Who thinks they have the most "yellow i's" by their team? I bet there is someone out there who had a full squad over the last set of matches and now has nobody available!

    I'm hoping that Tadic is ok for the Villa game as he has a bit more time to recover.

    If not, it's Boydinho off the bench again. Another 8 pointer please 🙂

    1. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I think you should be ditching Tadic anyway.

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

        Yeah, get rid after this game.

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

        Tis my plan after this game

    Morning chaps. More bad news I see. Typical. 🙄

    Any pressers to ease the pain today?

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

      why? Who is injured now?

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

        Sakho has a back injury

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

      You'll have to wait 'til Thursday old sport 😉

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

        But Today is Thursday ... at least here 😆

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

          Ah, forgot you live in South Korea there Badger 😉

          Then yeah, today & tomorrow then

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

            😆 makes little difference anyways I'll probably be in bed when they're on. Any decent presser today (thursday) do you know?

      The international break that keeps giving.....for all the wrong reasons.

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

        Yeah damn. I was doing okay. Could cope. But that Sakho one now. Damn.

    Worth doing for -12 this week or -8 on Saturday? I think those being transferred could make up the loss, plus the others are injury doubts already...

    Baines + ADM + Fab + Pelle

    to

    (5.6m def) + Hazard + Chadli + Aguero

    The Rest... Sanchez / Siggy / Boyd Welbeck / Costa

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

      Don't do baines! (maybe a cheap alternative to Chadli? he won't keep it up)

      1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        You'd pass up on your own namesake?!

        Fab + ADM + Pelle > Aguero + Haz + 5.1

        Any nice in that bracket?

    2. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      -12? I accuse you, as I have many before, of being drunk of transfers.

      1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        The yellow flag phobia haunts my every waking moment.

    I got sakho 2 days ago 🙁 To catch price rises.Regretting it

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ouch.
      If it's any consolidation, the vast majority have injury doubts.

    2. Wiz
      • 10 Years

      He didn't even rise 😀

      1. Zasa

        9 years, 7 months ago

        Kick 'em while they're down eh?
