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.

    At the moment Hazard and Costa. The following week I'm looking at taking a 4pt hit to upgrade Bertrand to Azi.

    Most ridiculous thing I've heard in along time:

    Manchester United are planning to sell Angel Di Maria, 26, to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer to create funds for a sensational move for either Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, 25, or Cristiano Ronaldo, 29

    Looking into December I could have about 8.5m to play with for a mid. It was going to be possibly sterling, but with Sturridge out I may hold out on that. City have amazing fixtures coming up. Anyones thoughts on a Nasri punt? Will he solidify a place in the team by then or reckon he's a massive rotation risk round then anyways?

      He's gotta show some form first. But if he does, he could be a nice little differential similar to how he turned up towards the very end of last season.

      Hmm, have you found out if Nasri is more effective against teams with tall or short fullbacks? Because Southampton's fullbacks are short but Sunderland might play Vergini who is a lot taller and heavier than the average fullback.

      That price range for mids is definitely interesting, w/ Wally, Sterling,Oscar & co all could show some signs of life by then.

      That said, Sterling could yet be of use on our teams if BR opts for a partnership up top (i.e Borini/Lambert + Balo) & it could very well open up pockets for Sterling later on.
      I think Nasri is just too risky for the time being & his competitive price tag just sways me away for an odd goal from him.

      Even if he's glued-on the team, is there much FPL potential in him. He would have some tough competition & I'd say it'd be a bold move in any case to opt for him. Would rather Wally at that bracket for an Asrenal double up, at least Wally will likely be nailed & hold more attacking weight than Nasri.

      Just my 2 cents 😉

        Wally at this point is 0.8m more than Nasri so he'd want to show that alright. Agreed I haven't discounted Sterling either yet. nasri was actually quite decent FPL wise towards the end of last season.

      Oof, I can see your thinking on the Chelsea double up back. I'd also feel safe at the end of the day having secured cleanies in the back, (devils advocate) but would you really throw in the 12.3m for that? When with more attacking fullbacks providing plenty of attacking threat & could argue more value (i.e Cresswell, maybe Debuchy fit, Reid) as well as the fixtures + CS potential.

      Investing a JT, could make the difference between your Chadli & a fit & firing Giroud
      or a Chadli vs an in-form Sterling w/ Pool showing signs of life

      (this is the devil speaking of course, not me)

      Just one transfer away from a team that I have been working to get for the last 4/5gw.

      Krul
      Clyne, Baines, Chambers
      Sanchez, ADM, Fab, Downing
      Sahko, Augero, Pelle.

      Just need to do Pelle to Costa and I'm done. 2.9 itb. Could also do Downing, Baines, Pelle to Sterling, Costa, Yun. Don't know if it's worth it though.

    So my main concern with this team

    Krul (McCarthy)

    Baines - Chambers - Bertrand

    ADM - Sanchez - Hazard - Mané

    Aguero (C) - Pellé - Berahino

    (Boyd - Moore - Bartley)

    is:

    Mané has to go, but probably better to wait a week and get Siggy, right?

    I want Costa as well, but the only way I see how is to get rid of ADM and that's not ideal with HUL (H) & STK (H) coming up.

    Any ideas here guys? 1 FT 0.1 ITB.

    I'm thinking maybe saving is the best option. Ranked 926 OR and don't want to make any rash decisions.

              Maybe. The fixtures are decent and he looks a good safe bet. 4 yellow cards though. I dont think he's essential but I wouldn't stray too far away from not being able to get him either

    Potentially miss out because of injuries, suspension, and FFS Cup Qualification in Gw13 are all taken into consideration. What do you think about this -8 pts hit plan this week?

    Forster
    Clyne - Chambers - Baines? (Naylor, Moore)
    Siggy - Sanchez - Fab? - ADM? (Boyd)
    Kun - Pelle - Welbeck?

    Baines + Fab + Welbeck -> Azpil + Chadli + Costa

    Baines : I bought him at 7.2mil, so nothing much to lose. I think he's the most likely to miss this Gw. Also, his next 3 games will be a bit difficult (tot, HUL, mci) and his attacking potential might be limited.

    Chadli : He's more goal threat as compared to Fab. I just believe he will continue his threat.

    Costa : 4 bookings, but get rid Fab who's also 4 bookings and I will remove Pelle next Gw.

    I have exact money to do it at the moment. Keep hoping Fab will not drop before all injury updates.

      If I was in your position, I'd obviously be concerned about my defense as others have pointed out, but in tandem I'd be worried about the value Berahinho would add to my GW score.

      I could live w/ one unlikely cleanie in the back, two is pushing it, but w/ a striker showing no signs of promise & facing very difficult teams in the coming GW's. He would be a transfer waiting to happen & I'd rather get rid sooner than later, especially if Austin is knocking on my door offering Belgium Waffles & Bera is lying on the floor moping teaching his dog tricks (nothing bad about that)

      Austin or a declared fit Sakho would make way in no time, that's another chance at a goal & that outweighs the chances of a cleanie if i was to make a defensive transfer this week

      Reading this back, not sure if I stumbled upon myself, or if I even made sense. We'll see

        thanks for the thoughtful response! definitely made sense (enjoyed the imagery as well)..I guess I'll have to consider Bera > Austin (he did look quite good vs City but at a team like QPR I would worry about his chances being volatile based on their mood)

        if Sakho is fit, I'd probably swap to him even if Austin frees up an extra 0.1

          Yeah, I too have the same concerns about Austin. Though if Sakho is declared fit for this GW, I'd definitely pick him up. He'll easily outscore Bera in the next three, & definitely will in the next 5 IMO.

            the plus for Austin is that it seems despite QPR he's able to create chances out of very little and he usually finishes what comes to him..

        I guess Baines in for Spurs for -4 may not make the most sense! But then I will have to play one of Chester at Old Trafford or Wisdom vs Arsenal. In addition to Clyne versus City - I am not getting rid of Clyne, too much other chaff to sort out!

          Yeah I mean that scenario isn't ideal but still not worth a hit for Baines in when it's a tougher matchup at Spurs I don't think.

            I could really do with Moore getting his place so I can field him vs QPR otherwise my defence for GW13 reads..

    Think I might just be able to field a fit XI even after the sakho injury. How does this lot look lads? Save FT or any changes recommended? Cheers

          Coloccini is ruled out, definitely.

          Save FT and do Colo > Yun next week, imo. Or Naylor.

        I read somewhere that Smalling and Jones could be back this weekend. Any truth to that?

          Smalling is back. Jones and Evans will be on the bench most likely. If we want to keep cleanies, McNair should be dropped for anyone. Been our best CB by far and looks a real prospect.

            He's looked decent enough alright. A lot of these youth players tend to do alright when called upon. Look at Stones for example. Wish they were given more chances. Though I guess its a fairly cut-throat business at the top.

              Yeah, frustrating. McNair looks like a Cadillac. Trying not to get too excited. Very early for him. But he's our best CB option, even ignoring the fitness issues of the others. He's also played CM quite a bit. Would make too much sense to use him or Blackett in the holding role.
