I'm keeping my fingers crossed, yes hearts have Europa leauge or more likley conference leauge. But surely we can tempt him to come here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a question about how these work, but i'm not sure i can express it very well, so bear with me. My understanding is that the numbers are percentiles. Showing the players position on the distribution over the whole sample? So if there's 4,800 full backs in the sample, a 75% rating implies better stats than 3,600 but that there's 1,200 out there with better stats. If that's wrong then my question will be gibberish. My question is, are those stats weighted at all for the quality of the division? So are we looking at how good this guy is in league 2 or overall? Not trying to be critical, just trying to understand. If it is how good he is in league 2 then that's still useful information and i guess his relative strengths wouldn't change much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus your posts aren’t offensive really, I just find it scarcely believable that anyone could be this miserable about their team, even in Aberdeen. WTF was miserable about my post stating that hopefully we can get ronan? f**k me! If you're that precious then ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's percentile ranks. The 4690 players or whatever it is continues duplicates though, as it covers four seasons. So someone who's played full back in all four season counts as four, if that makes sense? Its just a comparison of everyone in the database, I used to do it across a division but the low amount of players led to some high ratings for average players. The bigger the database the better it seems to be getting, I think. The club average hatched bit is to try and put into context the level they're at. Can sometimes help show someone is scoring high simply because their team is dominant/defensive. Him scoring high, and being higher than the club average, for possession suggests he's good on the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club bit is useful too- is that the full backs only at the same club or all players? So him having the 1000th best defensive anticipation stat doesn't mean he's the 1000th best "at" defensive anticipation overall because it's his stats at league 2 level vs other players' stats at a higher level. One last one- the names at the top right, are they the top of the rankings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be a bit wonky as you get some clubs where CMs have played FB so have boosted the club average a way up in possession, for instance, but it's the best I can do just now, and I think having a club average figure there is needed. The names at the top right are just the most similar to the players chart. Cam sometimes help explain how a player plays if it's a recognisable name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf this is beginning to remind of the days I used to play football manager and we were shite so I’d always just get rid of the first team dross and play almost exclusively youth players. Worked out pretty well most of the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
