Meet the Manager #6 – Adam Hopcroft (Choppers13)

Over his eight campaigns, Adam Hopcroft has finely tuned a bespoke management style that pays close attention to underlying statistics, the Season Ticker and the good old-fashioned eye test.

With five top 10,000 finishes, including two within the top 1,000, it’s a strategy that has clearly paid off.

Adam looks on course for another strong finish this time out too, with a current placing in the top 30,000.

Here he discusses in detail the key statistics he pays particular attention to and why medium, not short-term, upcoming fixtures guide his Season Ticker.

Each year he also gathers more information about players, which helps decide whether strong underlying statistics herald a point blitz or disappointment.

Adam then applies his tailor-made statistics and fixture analysis to the current campaign to reveal the players he is looking to ditch and those he is keen to bring in.

The chat with Adam is available to view on Youtube here and in the embedded video below.

    If you had no attacking players from LEI or EVE, which one would you pick out of SIGURDSSON or MADDISON, and why?

    (Yes, I am looking for Moura replacements)

    1. Jay_
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Mad for now coz you get a good fixture every week rather than every other week. If fixtures were equal though I'd say Siggy, proven pedigree.

        1. Stat Sloth
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          So Mad's fixtures Trumps Siggu's pivotal status and form?

            Maddison is also pretty pivotal within that Leicester team and his form is good too, so yeah, while he has fixtures I think he edges it. Long term, Siggy is better in arguably better (and more attacking) side.

              Mad looked primed for points at Ars, was unlucky imo.

              I wonder what team the builders supported 😳

                Legia Warsaw probably. Think they are the same twats who did my kitchen.

                      Yeah, it's fine though as I have shares in Jay Eggersdork.

              Hazard > salah (ft) if confirmed out?

                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Would need to be 3 or 4 weeks out for me. Too many good fixtures after Burnley and .5 lost.

                  Can you afford the value lost?

                  Not if you have a lot of value tied up or Hazard confirmed out for more than 2/3, weeks

                    Pleased for Shaqiri tonight. Always been one of my favourite players who just "got in with the wrong crowd". A few raised eyebrows when he signed for Liverpool but he's starting to look tailor made for them.

                    Good stuff.

                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      The Alpine Messi. £13 for that kind of talent is a steal. Great addition to the squad.

                      1. Dr Dream
                        • 11 Years
                        5 years, 6 months ago

                        Definitetly. Liverpool got lucky last season with quite minimal problems to Mane Firmino and Salah...he can help out with all those three... and now it seems he can do it in midfield as well...

                        Milner, Lallana, Shaqiri can all play a range of positions for them.

                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Is he an option for FPL though or do you think Milner is still first choice??

                      1. Dr Dream
                        • 11 Years
                        5 years, 6 months ago

                        No. Suddenly Liverpool's squad is looking rather bloated. He works players hard (Shaqiri was brilliant off the ball tonight) and I see no reason why he will need to overplay anybody as long as they're in a few competitions.

                          Agreed. Fabinho starting, Shaqiri looking the part, Lala looking good(if a bit unfit), Henderson, Milner, Wiji, Keita...It's a good list. They even have The Ox lurking somewhere.

                            Yeah they had a great first 11 last year but the backup wasn't great. Now they have a very good squad and a lot of the bench players bring something different to the starting 11. Can see them doing well this year in the PL and CL. I think that City are still favourites for the league though.

                            I'm a big fan of the way Klopp has made his signings over the last few years. He's taken a long term approach rather than having a "win now" attitude and has built a very good squad and addressed the weaknesses within the squad. They will continue to improve over the next few years as a lot of the players are young or reaching their peak. Milner is the only one that I can think of that is getting on a bit but is a fantastic role model for the younger players

                    1free transfer and .2 m in bank. Obviously a doubt over Hazard this weekend and BSilva a rotation risk particularly with KDB back. Any changes you would make or gtg?

                    Another great vid in this series!
                    So good catching an insight into these top level managers way of thinking, each and everyone being unique in their own way.
                    Dunno about anyone else, I've been taking titbits from each one and every video produces a lightbulb moment for me 🙂

                    Keep up the good work Joe, can't wait to see who's next!!!

                      Ive watched a bit of this one and the guy genuinely seemed to have a different take on things. The rest were a bit samey I thought.

                        I've only just recently come across him in the past week or so on Twitter and did that Scouting the Talisman table for him so I knew he kinda liked stats but had no idea whatsoever the level he goes to!
                        Just seen another tweet from him a few seconds ago which brought a smile to my face. The guy is a machine!

                          Yeah he does give good tweet so he does. I'm not into stats at all but I like the bitesize type chunks he does.

                        Samey? Really? I've been able to learn a little bit from each one tbh. Then again you have been playing this a lot longer than me so horses for courses I suppose but I quite like the series been a good watch for me so far and can't wait to see who's up next lol

                          Perhaps that's what I mean. I'm not hearing anything I hadn't heard before. It's just a shame I don't seem able to.put it into practice 😀

                      They are really really good. This site is full of great bits of information but those videos have to be the best for me.

                              Is scary how something major can just happen in a blink of the eye. Hope you are all fixed now!

                                Mmmm kinda..but not really..and don't think I ever will be. My back no longer bends properly at all so I have to be really careful. Thankfully I can run a bit to play some footy and ride my bikes but picking anything up is a no no....

                          Don't tell me that. I'm 8 months into recovery from 2 blown discs and there is no way I can deal with this if it goes on for years. I'm gagging to get back on the five a side pitch.

                          Sorry to hear you've been crocked for so long.

                              Yeah, just not very far, I was only off my feet completely for a couple weeks. Now I can cycle though so that's how I'm getting about. Know of any good physios in North London?

                    Laca rising? Should I do Kane to Laca tonight? Thanks

                      No. Wait until after his price rises.

                      Yeah probably, but Kane looks much more dangerous when Eriksen is out there.

                      You can risk going w/o Haz I think, so maybe get TAA to Robbo or Mendy

                    Hazard has the (C) but if he doesn't play I thought it'd be better to have Mitro (VC) instead of Sterling or Aguero. Fair decision?

                      Aguero (VC) for me.

                      I VC a more differential pick most weeks with a nonsense 'if my captain doesnt play then destiny will guide me' kind of mindset, so yep, looks good. Arnie VC for me.

                      I can't find better than Rich so am sticking with him. Only so much you can ask of a 6.5 mid. I reckon he'll get some points in their home fixtures coming up. I like a slightly stronger bench and would consider rotating 4.5 keepers. Pat works very well with Fab. Foster does as well but to a lesser degree.

                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Evening all. So, I’m beginning to lose patience with Alonso, and thinking I can at least mitigate the risk of shipping him out by getting another nailed CHE defender to cover any cleanies (or in Rudiger’s case, hopefully grab some attacking returns too).

                    With that in mind, and my aim of bringing in Mendy, which is my best move please? (2 FTs)

                    A: Rich > Pereyra, and roll a transfer. Then Alonso and Shaw > Rudiger and Mendy next week for free (or re-assess if Alonso hauls after all).

                    B: Just do it now: Rich and Alonso > Pereyra and Rudiger. Then Shaw > Mendy next week.

                    C: Get Luiz instead, which allows me to leave Rich in place. Also saves a transfer to improve my GK.

                    D: Keep Alonso, and find another way to bring in Mendy!

                    Current side:
                    Henn (Hart)
                    Alonso, Robbo, Shaw, (Doherty, WB)
                    Haz, Salah (C), Rich, Fraser (Hojbjerg)
                    Kun, Arnie, Mitro
                    (zero ITB)

                      I wouldn't be selling Alonso and I'd look for another way to get Mendy. But if you insist at least do it next week because Burnley is a much better fixture than Spurs away.

                        Thanks for advice - yeah I wouldn't be shipping him happily by any means, but I just can't see another way to get Mendy unless I get rid of another big hitter. 🙁

                      Consider canning Rich altogether to 4.5 mid and using funds to upgrade Shaw to Mendy and WB to West Ham Defender and playing 4 at back every week rotating doherty and West Ham. Means you have to play Fraser every week, but it's a solution of sorts.
