Struggling to understand how Potts is 13th best performer so far. I’d have him top five at least. Bizarre.
I agree. However, I think it's because he hasnt been the best player in any match IMO. He's been very good in all matches, our most consistent player, but that's not what this is a competition for. This is how many times have they been the best player in a game.
Jared Bird is two points ahead of Potts. It’s titled ‘BBS Player of the Season’. The current top five looks fair, even though I’d have Potts rather than Dougall. So the system is showing a fair view. But Potts is the anomaly. I don’t get it.
I could be wrong but the points system seems skewed against midfielders. If you get a MOTM award then great otherwise you're in trouble while the keeper can have nothing to do but get points for a clean sheet, same with he defenders too. Do nothing but pick up points. Be a midfielder and help the overall team but you won't pick up points because you aren't a striker or a defender
It's called player of the season, yes. However, It's decided as I understand it by adding up the votes over all the games this season for man of the match. Hence why Potts isn't higher, as he hasn't been 'man of the match' in any game, in a lot of people's opinion. He's just been very good in all games.
That doesn’t explain how he’s 13th or why he’s behind Bird, Davies, Victor, Moncur etc etc. If he’s been just very good in all games, he clearly didn’t get the bbs votes to back that up. I’m not arsed. Just seems weird.
I can't tell if you're missing the point or just ignoring it. In every game, there has been someone better than him, in most peoples opinion, so other people got their vote. You can only vote once per game. Bird will have got votes for the one game he played, because my all accounts he was very good and stand-out. Davies got a few clean sheets early on, so he got votes. Victor Scored a couple of important goals. gets votes. Not sure on Moncur, but he's only 1 point ahead. I'd put that down to him having more 'flair' which tends to stand out.
Just read the OP's points-scoring system, and checked each game that Potts played in. He got 2 points against Oxford, 1 against Rochdale. Barely registered a vote since. In fact, he barely got votes in those two games referred to either. 66% of his points are based on his goals. Mike Bähre has 7 points somehow. I find it a little strange but as I said before, the top five are pretty much about right in my opinion, Potts aside. So it's clearly fair. Just a little puzzling in the case of Potts, and in the fact that Bähre has such a lot of points for so little so far. Funny old game.
I would guess Bähre has points purely because he's a new and anticipated signing and people tend to look at signings like that with less criticism. In your opinion, has Potts been man of the match in any specific game? Not talking overall, specific game. He hasnt for me. He's been in the top 3 overall for me and consistently 2nd or 3rd best player, but not top in any game for me.
