Excellent Site

Never seen the Actim index before, but very interesting:

Actim Championship Index

Some of it seems to be out of sync, Chopra not in top 5 strikers for instance.

 

Chopra is top striker after this week nt

 

has anyone worked out what this is based on?

looked at this a few times this season and to be honest, it looks like an utter sack of ***** to me. Devaney, 4th best midfielder in league based on this season?

 

RE: has anyone worked out what this is based on?

most teams would like devaney in their side i reckon. if only for the leather jacket

 

RE: has anyone worked out what this is based on?

From the site:

How is the Actim Index calculated?

Complex mathematical formulae were devised to calculate the value of each player's contribution, match by match. In simple terms, the Actim Index comprises four calculations:

* Calculation 1 - Assesses a player's contribution to a winning team, based on points won by the team when he appeared.
* Calculation 2 - Assesses a player's performance in each game, by allocating points for actions that positively contribute to a winning performance such as shots, tackles, clearances and saves. It also takes points away from players for negative actions such as yellow/red cards and shots off target.
* Calculation 3 - Allocates points based on time on the pitch.
* Calculation 4 - Allocates points for goal scorers.
* Calculation 5 - Allocates points for assists.
* Calculation 6 - Allocates points for clean sheets.

It was designed at the University of Salford - so I'd check your wallet whilst viewing the site.

 

don't get me wrong...

the lad has talent, no doubt but he has been a long long way from consistent this season. This index seems to be suggesting he's the best right winger in the league, and despite one of his better performances on Friday, he wasn't even the best right winger on the pitch...

 

'complex mathematical formulae'

i.e. "we make it up off the top of our head and won't tell you how" !!!!

still can't see how it correlates - is Disco up there because he hasn't been substituted much?
