Statistics

Superior’s Stats – Arteta Uncovered

18 November 2010 1274 comments

SUPERIOR BEING

In a season where the same group of Fantasy Players seem to be scoring heavily in the points, the quest for a differential becomes more like searching for the proverbial pot of gold.

I find myself trailing in my mini league to a leader who owns the big-hitting Ashley Cole, Carlos Tevez, Nani etc, etc, so I reckoned my decision to stick with Mikel Arteta was a good (albeit hopeful) one. The Spaniard certainly helped me to mini league glory last season anyway.

But after a below-par Fantasy Season so far, what has happened to Mikel Arteta? I decided to look at the stats to find out:

Last season, Arteta played 1033 minutes in the league. This season, he has played 1041, so this makes for a fairly straightforward comparison.

Season	Goals	Assists	Bonus
2010-11	2	0	12
2009-10	6	2	17

Quite a significant difference then, let’s see what the OPTA stats show …

Season	Touches	Succ Pass Opp Half	Goal Attempts	On Target	Penalties Scored	Everton Goals
2010-11	1024	458	12	5	0	13
2009-10	1094	484	16	12	2	25

Notice Arteta is touching the ball and making Successful Passes in the Opponents Half just as much as he did last season. However, it’s his shooting that is really letting the playmaker down; last season 75% of Goal Attempts were on target whereas only 42% have been this season.

Arteta cannot be blamed for this dip in form alone, though; as a team, Everton are contributing to his Fantasy demise, too. Not only have David Moyes’ side not been awarded any penalties for Arteta to benefit from, they are also not scoring as many goals. In the 12 games Arteta has played this season, Everton have scored 13 goals, whereas in the 13 games Arteta played last season, Everton scored 25. Now if you take away the 2 penalties scored you will see Arteta was responsible for 17% of outfield goals last season which is very similar to the 15% he has achieved this season. This indicates that when Everton do finally start scoring with more regularity, Mikel Arteta may, indeed, be that pot of gold many of us are searching for.

  I'm getting Jara on the pitch this week - fingers crossed he'll play, Chilli was a good warm up! Enrique is on my bench this week... + give NZog a chance - if anything happens he'll be in the mix!

        having Adam in myself - was rather hoping he might deliver the points this weekend - now the dilema is to leave him on - risk him playing 10 mins at the end as a bit of a run out for one point. Don't know how bad injury is - Is this a game they could rest him - possibly . I'm not sure i will play him this weekend.

        yeah, guess if there was ever a game they could rest him it would be this one... think he might only come on for 30 mins if things arent going well... not worth the risk hey?

  logically - i dont think its worth the risk - but being logical has not given me a hatful of points so far! Adams will probably sit on my bench come on for 10 mins and score - that is life!

who to bench out of this stella attack force?

Fabregas VDV Nani Malouda Cahill

Carroll Drogba Elmander

Thought Carroll was injured so brought Elmander in.. now everyone’s fit and i’m stuck!

Malouda will make way for a 4.5mid next week in order to repair an out of favour back line!

  DON'T imo take Fabs out you'd be swapping penalty taking bonus magnet for a very good MF.Take a 4pt hit or wait a bit longer.Fabs has got you more points in two weeks than Drogba has in five.

Okay tricky one:

Had just enough to do Arteta->Nani until Nani rose last night. I could still do Malouda->Nani and bench Arteta or do Arteta->Nani and another trade for a hit to raise the case & bench Malouda. Problem is that I dont see any decent options out there in any position who will justify the hit. Thoughts?

Current team:
Krul Gilks
Bos Knight Jara Elmo Coleman
Arteta Malouda Fabs Nasri VDV
