Bugg Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 Wellens has been our best player FACT! Oh shit! now you've said "fact" in capital letters you must be true (not that I disagree with you)
Austin Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 How anyone can slag Wellens off when Gallagher gets worshipped is a joke. Wellens always gives 100% and can play the ball around the park like a genius at times .. Even when he's not heavily involved in the game his general work in central midfield like winning the ball or helping track back when the opposition is attacking is brilliant. Gallagher gets praised for his odd decent ball in to the box, or the fact he's scored a penalty. When in reality his form is so inconsistant from one game to another that the majority of the time he's just a liability. Anyhoo, the thread was about King and he deserves all the credit he gets. The lad's quality! J.
ajthefox Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 I'm surprised people are taking this thing seriously, it needs to be taken at face value for what it is. It's all down to statistics so of course it isn't ever going to be a totally accurate account of who the best players in the league are in terms of total value they add to the team. Wellens should be in the top 100 no doubt since there is on average room for over 4 players per team, but then in terms of overall contribution I think King is a little too high up.
Simmo86 Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 It could be that all the bum love for him is not actually justified. Yes he has had a good couple of months but his performances before then were woefully short of the quality required at Championship level hence why he is not in the list. x2
Corky Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 How anyone can slag Wellens off when Gallagher gets worshipped is a joke. Gallagher gets worshipped? Where exactly?
ajthefox Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 Gallagher gets worshipped? Where exactly? That's what I was thinking. I've given him what I feel is well deserved praise recently, but I'm still not a massive fan and apart from the "technically gifted" bandwagon, he is hardly worshipped.
orangecity23 Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 The six calculations which generate the Actim Index are: Calculation 1 – Assesses a player's contribution to a winning team, based on points won by the team when he has appeared Calculation 2 – Assesses a player's performance in each game by allocating points for actions that positively contribute to a winning performance such as shots, tackles, clearances and saves. It also takes points away from players for negative actions such as yellow/red cards and shots off target Calculation 3 – Allocates points based on time on the pitch Calculation 4 – Allocates points for goal scorers Calculation 5 – Allocates points for assists Calculation 6 – Allocates points for clean sheets That probably explains the absense of Wellens. He's been absolutely quality, but he does get booked quite often and his shooting is normally quite wayward (when he shoots at all), so that's probably whats counted against him in this Index. If successful passes counted, he'd probably be in it.
Guest Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 Only one player in the whole list? Wellens & Abe have been better since after Christmas which is when we've remained unbeaten & apart from Hart's clanger King's contribution looks to have dried up List = joke Please tell me you're not writing him off already
Flynny Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 Probably something to do with how much we've chopped and changed the team as well, King has been one of few players who has been close to ever present. Less good players than some of ours will have been penalised simply for not appearing enough.
Bert Posted 29 January 2011 Posted 29 January 2011 Wellens isn't in there because no-one notices the dirty work. King pops up with goals and assists, where wellens is the graftes and mainly gets assists. Where it's nice to be noticed it could a blessing in disguise that most of them are going un-noticed - Better for us.
