Updated Form Table- average impactful contributions per 15min over rolling 6 game periods. Rolling periods offset by 2 games i.e MILL-REA is games 2-7, SUN-SWA is games 4-9 etc.
 
Just to say I like these (perhaps as your stats usually tally with my own 'eye test'). It is, as you say, ultimately subjective, but to me it is an interesting way to try and give a more systematic opinion than our emotionally fraught real time experience (that's the more fun / miserable bit).

IIRC someone did a similar thing on one of the Blades forums yonks ago, and found Stephen Quinn was much more impactful than many of us were saying at the time; it was when he was in his 'elpiton' phase...

Same data as above, formatted slightly differently. I think this is easier to digest, even if there is less info.

Cheers for this SUFCScorecard need a little while to get to grips with this! But interested to read how it's taken the emotive aspect/bias of watching SUFC/certain players out of the equation.

Looking at the WBA card, that captures what I felt I saw, too. With another query left hanging... I felt Fleck was fairly anonymous in his contribution, his scores reflect that, but equally, we looked far more overrun in midfield when he went off. The lack of CM replacements was significant.

Thanks a lot. I think the midfield was quiet all game. A lot of it, I like to believe, was situational. We were up by 2 early so they sat in and were pretty unambitious/cautious. They all did well keeping the shape of the team and making us hard to break down. That is a blind-spot of this analysis as I don't score just being in position.

With that said I thought all 3 could have done better with the ball. Doyle had that great pass for the first goal, and a flurry of involvement early in the 2nd half but was otherwise quiet, Norwood was way below his standard of around 4+ contributions/15min, and like you say Fleck was anonymous. Our two forwards are great at receiving the ball under pressure holding it up and laying it off, and I think all three of the midfielders (who can all pass) should have been picking them out to feet more often than they did. Too many balls went over the top when we haven't really got those types of players.

I personally would have liked to seen Arblaster on the bench. If we are starting Fleck, Doyle, Norwood and Osborn, we haven't got another proper midfielder for a change up (Mcatee, for me, is a LFW). When Arblaster has played, I've seen a solid Championship player, who doesn't look out of his depth at all. I think if he had been on the bench on Saturday he would have gotten on the field.

This is interesting stuff (I've only just seen it) but is there a skew toward midfielders scoring more highly since they are involved in everything? Osula for example as the striker left on the half way line when we defend is always going to score less points.

Thanks. Yes-ish, depends on how we play, and who the opponent is. McBurnie has the highest contributions on the team so far this season. I think its useful to compare across position group. In the era of analytics the most expensive players in the world these days are no longer strikers, they are midfielders, which I think reflects their greater impact on the game. I don't think my scorecard fully captures the defensive work, so much of that is based on positioning, and avoiding danger before it happens which I don't score.

Below is the season so far (minimum 90 minutes).

It's interesting to see 2 of the more maligned players, Norwood and Osborn score so highly I'm assuming it's because their contributions are more bread and butter and not highlights.
 
Contributions/15min by position - season so far (min 90min):

  • McBurnie has been our most outstanding player.
  • Good performances from Hamer and Norwood in midfield.
  • Disappointing so from Souza - not impacting the games enough yet from CM.
  • If its a choice between Norwood and Souza on Saturday I don't know how you pick Souza over Norwood.
  • We aren't going to miss Lowe at LWB
  • Thomas has started really well, a left sided Baldock.
  • Need to give Trusty more minutes as Bash has been poor.

Mind-boggling.. I admire your dedication whilst find it slightly worrying at the same time .
I wouldn't want to discourage you however so crack on
 
Form:

Contributions/15min over 5 game periods.

Min 90min over the 5 game period.

- McBurnie, Norwood and Hamer have stood out as our best performers

- There has not been a drop off when Trusty has come in to play.

- Larouci worth another look!
