Owlstalk Player of the Season Pt2 - (the stats so far)


Recommended Posts

Thought I'd start a new thread for this as its now 2016. Happy New Year to all.

 

We have a new leader, Fernando has been MOM in the last 4 games and received hundreds of votes for the Wolves and Birmingham game. Bannan still sits in second despite just 1 goal and zero assists.

 

For anyone who hasn't seen this before, the table is sorted by VPM (votes per minute) which is the total number of votes received divided by the number of minutes on the pitch. The AVPG column is average votes per game.

There's something satisfying about seeing Westwood and Lees so far down the rankings after voting them as man of the match week after week last season.

It says a lot about how far we've come in a very short period.

Or worrying we ship so many goals and our defence are at the lower end of the rating lol

We've only conceded seven goals more than this time last season. Given the complete philosophy shift that has taken place to allow us to attack more fluently and add seventeen goals to our tally from the same stage last year, it's not so bad.

Interesting.

For next season, I think it would be fairer to calculate it as follows:-

100 points available each match. 1 point given for each percent of the vote they get.

This is fairer because for instance, away at Cardiff may attract 300 votes. Home v Arsenal 1,000 votes. Therefore, it unfairly weights towards the MOM in the games where more fans attended.
