Bagworthblue Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 http://www.squawka.com/teams/leicester-city/stats#performance-score#english-barclays-premier-league#season-2014/2015#126#all-matches#1-22#by-match Not sure if this has been discussed before but if you look at individual players it compares their performance this year and scores them. Statistically our best striker is Nugent, best midfielder (central) is Drinkwater and best keeper is Hamer Load of tosh probably but it will appeal to some so decided to post it. nb Vardy has most assists :-)
AKCJ Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 Ulloa's 17 chances created with 1 assist just sums up how shit we are at taking chances. Hopefully Krammy and Leo will form a solid partnership.
shailen Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 but nugent is shocking... Tbf Ulloa has been our best striker this season by a mile.
ScouseFox Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 can see why statistically nugent would perhaps be best, hamer is obviously statistically our best keeper but not sure how anyone can claim drinkwater has been anything other than our worst midfielder so far this season. stats ey.
Bagworthblue Posted 29 January 2015 Author Posted 29 January 2015 I've not actually had time to work out how they calculate it. I.e if you look player by player, I think King out performs Drinkwater in most areas yet his overall score is lower. If it takes into account the final result of the game etc it's already flawed.. I'm sure it's flawed anyway Nothing seems to work out for poor old Albrighton who comes up a big minus!
Fox92 Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 but nugent is shocking... Tbf Ulloa has been our best striker this season by a mile. Ulloa has been one of our better players. Everything about his play is good.

LongWhattonBlue Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 but nugent is shocking... Tbf Ulloa has been our best striker this season by a mile. Would Nugent have played 22 games for a premier league club if he was 'shocking' ....
shailen Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 Would Nugent have played 22 games for a premier league club if he was 'shocking' .... My post was meant to be sarcastic. I'm one of the few on here in the Nugent camp.
ADK Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 The scores don't really agree with the stats half the time.
Eddy Kellys Heroes Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 Statistically, how boring is this thread?
purpleronnie Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 Statistically, how boring is this thread? I was intrigued....but I thought it said Beastiality
Bagworthblue Posted 29 January 2015 Author Posted 29 January 2015 Statistically, how boring is this thread? Statistically, how many threads do you open that don't interest you so that you can post a negative comment? As I said in the opening gambit 'Load of tosh probably but it will appeal to some so decided to post it. If you are not one of the 'some' then just don't read it - quite simple really
ADK Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 Actually the midfielders stats make an interesting comparison.

Claridge Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 Would Nugent have played 22 games for a premier league club if he was 'shocking' .... Would Nugent have played 22 games for a premier league club if he was 'shocking' .... Bet the team would be bottom of the league if he did
eunmac Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 Don't be fooled by Squawkas overall performance score which tries to compare apples and oranges. As anyone who works with stats will tell you, data is meaningless without applying insight and context. For instance Nugent has only 39% shot accuracy compared with Leo's 48%. In the context of being a forward, Leo's 48% accuracy is much more meaningful, especially if you take into consideration they both have 1.4 shots per game and Leo has loads of goals! I could go on. FYI Whoscored also has good stats on players. http://www.whoscored.com/Teams/14
SystonFox Posted 29 January 2015 Posted 29 January 2015 Statistically Leonardo Ulloa is the strongest link whilst Paul Konchesky remains the weakest link. But will the rest of the team see it that way? Let's see how the voting goes on The Weakest Link Is what I said to myself when I read the thread
shailen Posted 30 January 2015 Posted 30 January 2015 Surely Hammond won't feature highly in the rankings but he does a lot especially in his positioning that makes him a vital part of the team. Him and Cambiasso are our best two midfielders this season
