Hi Chris, extremely useful stats as always. Just to let you know, your Clean Sheet data is missing Bolton @ Aston Villa. I'm trying to decide between Mignolet and Bogdan so could certainly do with it! :)
Thanks Alex. No idea how that happened. Perhaps I sub conciously wanted to avoid the prediction that Bolton will lose again this week!
It's somewhat surprising to see that Villa have failed to score at home more often than Blackburn, but Sunderland are a much better defensive unit than Bolton right now (who, to be fair, looked better against QPR last week). Bogdan is a good shot stopper so he's always liable for a few save points but I'd go Mignolet this week.
How would you take into account when teams are missing their most influential defender (e.g. City without Kompany this Gameweek)?
Would you look at the base statistics you have provided and then make an educated guess of what the impact will be?
In the specific instance mentioned I feel that City don´t have a great chance to keep a clean sheet without Kompany, and it goes further down without Lescott.
We talked about this earlier in the season, but with a couple more games in the bag, I've updated the viz which attempts to help you choose your defenders. The "All Players" tab should in theory help you do this coming with a blank slate, but the r aison d'etre for the viz is to help you choose between players in the same side, once you've decided that, for example, you want a City defender. The viz can be found linked from the main menu , and here and should be opened separately to best read this piece. A few notes as of GW5 below. Arsenal I'm not sure how much value there is with this defense right now, but if you are planning to play the fixtures and take a chance with one of Emery's men, this would suggest it should be Mustafi rather than the 10% owner Bellerin who you should target. Bournemouth Cook is the man here for now, though if a clear winner emerges from the developing Daniels vs Rico battle then one of those players could topple him b...
At this point of the year it's important that we try and establish what numbers can be believed. In other words: how small is too small for a sample size? Consider, for example, that through six gameweeks last season: Aston Villa ranked 10th in goals scored at home and 3rd on the road. They wound up being the 2nd worst attacking side in the league, managing to notch just one goal more than Stoke. Tottenham placed 19th in home defense, shipping an average of 2.5 goals per game. They finished the year as one of the league's best defenses, ranking 4th at home and 5th on the road. QPR conceded just one goal in their first three away games. They went on to concede 40 more in the next 16, at an alarming rate of 2.5 a game, enough to rank behind everyone outside of lowly Blackburn. We could go on and on. The point being, six games is not enough to write teams off or buy into short lived success. When then, is long enough? Using data from the past two seasons (ideally we'...

The awful news about Muamba made the decision for me anyway; hope he pulls through. Makes being upset about having Siggy first sub seem pretty silly.
