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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      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.

        I've captained Hazard once this season and got me 18 points we know when he scores he scores well

      pretty clear Aguero for me, but if you feel different then go for it, i like a slightly riskier captain now n then

      I'm not, but also own all 3. I think it's a good option for a few reasons. One of which was a bit of stattage I did today which showed that of 25 goal involvements (goal and assists) strikers versus west brom had only 2.

      Personally I'm going Aguero.

        I guess it's fair to say Aguero safe captain and Hazard for the punt probably no need to take a risk at this stage.. I'm 3rd in my mini league 11 points behind and the only team with Hazard..

          Depends how much you like a gamble then. Could be huge if hazard smashed it.

          Saying that he's already a good differential for you.

    Mod/admin types.

    I submitted a member article but know the table I had didn't come out looking that good. Not sure if it can be salvaged or if you want me to send again separately or if you don't care because the article was rubbish?

    Obviously if the third option no worries, if you need a resend I can do that.

      Good. Maybe Krul over Guzan and Yun over staylor.

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

      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
