Player Ratings - the scores after 12 matches (1 Viewer)

Headline conclusions

1. Robins has gradually worked towards a team made up of the most highly rated players on this forum! Against Rochdale and Gillingham had he picked Ogogo rather than Shipley, it would have been exactly the “best eleven” at that point. With the exception of Shipley, the team against Pompey was “the best available”.
2. Injuries have disrupted this, as has the decline in some players’ ratings – Andreu in particular
3. We have 8 new signings or loans. Only two are doing well, Chaplin and Mason. The jury is out on Ogogo, Brown and Thomas. The other three are vary between 13 and 20% below average, although Sterling has had three good outings in the last four games. Therefore the management’s rating is not that good so far.
4. There remains a gap between the high regard we have for Bayliss and what he is actually producing. He averages 6.1 only 2% above average and is the 8th ranked player. It could be that the more he plays the less value he is financially? Is he at risk of being ruined by lower league football?
5. The biases are obvious – if we lose then all ratings drop - so bad luck if a player appears mainly in those games (Brown) - conversely playing in a winning side helps (Chaplin) and goal scorers are disproportionately rewarded (Andreu). We like centre-backs. This is not science or Moneyball, merely a piece of focus group research, but it does pass a test of having enough data to provide plausible conclusions. There are over 1,600 pieces of data from 146 contributors. The lowest number of contributors was 5 (Wimbledon) the highest 22 (Oxford in the League).
