this is all you need, dunno if sam or whoever knew about it already.

That is excellent, thanks. Wish it had passing stats - still don't know where to go for those except Guardian chalkboards and that one iPhone app for the Champions League.

yeah it's be great to have a few more report options but i'm def gonna be on it all evening seeing what's covered

bobby zamora ftw btw

Guillaume HoarauParis Saint Germain FC 311 4 1 62.20
Mario Gomez Bayern München 606 8 1 67.33
Lionel Messi FC Barcelona 957 11 3 68.36

Formatting's crap, but Benzema isn't, was the point there.

Wayne Rooney Manchester United 2222 11 11 101.0
Luis Suarez Liverpool FC 1012 4 6 101.2

Surprised it matches received wisdom so closely.

eh? hardly.

No Pav

Include Eredivisie for a "big six" and Suárez jumps to btwn RVP and Di Natale I'd wager.

i don't think it combines stints at different clubs- carroll and bent appear to have entries dealing with time at newcastle and villa only from what i saw earlier

That is excellent, thanks. Wish it had passing stats - still don't know where to go for those except Guardian chalkboards and that one iPhone app for the Champions League.

This will probably sound like a stupid question, but does that Champions League iPhone app only work on an iPhone? I can't use it on my laptop can I?

I hope it's not a stupid question because I've wondered the same! Apparently it's compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch but nothing as cumbersome as a, you know, computer. Frustrating. /opta

lol, never mind. Thanks for the info!

stat heaven

whoscored.com is pretty thorough too, despite the name.

stats about who's been using stats

also blaming stats for Ferguson forcing out Jaap Stam

That FT piece is really good.

EPL top fifteen in tackles/game last season:

Lucas Leiva		Liverpool	5.2
Stuart Holden		Bolton		4.5
David Vaughan		Blackpool	4.0
Lee Cattermole		Sunderland	3.9
Antolín Alcaraz		Wigan		3.8
Scott Parker		West Ham	3.8
Gaël Clichy		Arsenal		3.4
Marouane Fellaini	Everton		3.4
Nigel Reo-Coker		Aston Villa	3.4
Hendry Thomas		Wigan		3.4
Alex Song		Arsenal		3.3
Cheik Tioté		Newcastle	3.3
Andy Wilkinson		Stoke		3.3
Youssouf Mulumbu	West Brom	3.2
Danny Murphy		Fulham		3.2

Where are those figures from, boxall?

whoscored.com

I thought you would like that one, given the name at the top.

sandro will get up there given a full season.

Song! Glad sam couldn't find that stat last week tbh.

Lovely stuff. Interesting that Holden's second in the list - I've been reading up on DMs we should be looking at who would complement Lucas and who would provide competition for him, and a few people have suggested Holden. Must pay more attention to him next season. I like Mulumbu, too.

west brom have put a nice price on him iirc

This is awesome. Also due to this article I'm now picturing Kompany leading a ComStat session in an Etihad conference room, Clichy and Savic shifting nervously in their seats.

Ha, have already bookmarked ready for Friday!

Found this too:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/zachslaton/2012/08/16/the-analyst-behind-manchester-citys-player-investments-part-1/

That looks like it'll be a good read, but it misspells "role" as "roll" seven times!

The Guardian have crunched some of the numbers made available by City.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/interactive/2012/aug/22/premier-league-2011-12-player-attributes-calculated

Van Persie better in the air than I'd have thought if I'm reading things correctly.

proof that Drogba has little aptitude in front of goal. I'm convinced.

modric owns the creativity/dribbling/passing stat but his first touch is terrible????

haha they've even given each player a FM Manager style rating.

pretty sure aguero is worthy of better than 11/20 for finishing.

quick scroll through suggests that kieran gibbs is the best striker in the league.
