Premiership Team of the Season (so far)

dannyd20

See it here

Few surprises in there, notably Marlon Harewood ranked higher than Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney!

Strong West Ham influence on the side with 3 current players and 3 more who spent their formative years at Upton Park.

What think ye?

good to see Anton in the team,but was a bit surprised Rio got in. Harewood has been on fire, Henry was injured for a while so maybe the reason Harewood got in over him

I cant help but look at the team and say "who the **** is rating them?".

It's the Actim Index's Team of the Season, the team represents the best players in all positions using stats from every game played this season.

The Actim Index is compiled on behalf of the Premier League and represents players from all 20 clubs. It take statistics from every area of the game including goals, shots on target, corners, fouls, offsides, passes, tackles, blocks and clearances.

Have to say id actually go along with it. Looks accurate to me.

Some saying Harewood above Henry? Not noticed how brutal Thiery has been the past few weeks? Yeah your truely world class banging 2 and 3 past west brom but when you have to look to see if you were even on the pitch against liverpool he doesn't deserve to be there.

Also Rooney, have to say, i think the man is pure class but i have been a touch, how shall we say underwhelmed by him this season.

yop

Seems fairly spot on, not 100% sure about Rio, bar the goals maybe. 1/2 of Chelsea would be accurate, RVN up front without a doubt even though some try to say he is not the same! Harwood, strange one but exciting to watch in fairness, who else is there Defoe maybe, Henry disappears in the big games, no one else worth mentioning

Marq

if Rio gets in for scoring goals then stick him up front. IMO he's the most over-rated, over-paid player in the premiership.

wheres me jumpa

while were talking baout players of the season, i think bullard at wigan must get a mention. he will never win player of the season but he works so damn hard. pours his guts into every game.

ButcherOfNog

Petr Cech is overrated in my opinion, hes made quite a few mistakes that directly cost goals this season, he just doesn't get exposed much.

Morten Gamst Pedersen

Fantasy Premier league is done on the same site using the same actim stats, yet cech is fifth best gk in th eleague. How is he in the team of the season?

Plus the top 4defenders (in order of 1-4) are Finnan, Terry, Gallas, Carragher.
Midfiekders are Lampard, Gamst Pederson, Gerrard, Barton
Strikers are Van Nistlerooy and Henry.

wrong, wrong and wrong kelly.

Fantasy Scoring

During the season, the fantasy football players will be allocated a point score after each game, based on their performances in the matches. Only official Barclays Premiership games are included.

The Points will be calculated using data provided to us by the Press Association. Neither we nor the Press Association will enter into any correspondence relating to the allocation of points to players. We accept no responsibility for the accuracy of this data.

The top three players in each game according to the Actim Index will receive bonus points. Three bonus points will be awarded to the highest ranked player, two points to the second and a single point to the third. These points will be credited within 48 hours of the last match of the Gameweek.


Actim Index is the official player rating system of the Barclays Premiership.

PA Sport gathers match data for every Barclays Premiership, Coca-Cola Football League and Bank of Scotland Premiership game. The data is gathered by two methods - real-time match analysis and the study of video footage. The real-time analysis is conducted by ex-professional footballers who report on action at the grounds as it happens. More detailed analysis is obtained by studying videos of the matches.

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 of the pitch.
Calculation 4 - Allocates points for goal scorers.

Sorry for the cut and paste jobby but if you (Stekelly) can't be bothered reading linkage then there's not much point in linking again but just in case - here and here

So according to Actim the team of the season so far is like I said earlier

Listen smartass. If you want to go whining about people not readign things, look no further than your (not so ) good self. If you care to open your eyes you will see one of these ? after my question (see the dictionary for the difference between a question and a statement. Also see someone with some cop on and a working brain as with regard to the fact that I was questioning actim/the premierleague and not your post.

Indeed 6 West Ham or former West Ham players does look a little odd. Maybe they got Trevor Brooking to do it.;)

No that's what a full stop is for.


You're talking about fantasy points and I was referring to the Actim index. Now I know that they're both listed on the same website but that doesn't mean that they're the same thing.


Listen mate, I really don't want to continue this. So let's just let it end here.

The Rooster

The biggest weakness in the selection is the inclusion of Anton Ferdinand at full back, when he's played mostly at centre back and even the comment about him on that site is "...a series of classy performances at the heart of the Hammers defence".

I wonder who the next best (according to the stats) full back is?

dannyd20

The best right-footed full-back is Pascal Chimbonda of Wigan Athletic with Steve Finnan next.

Interesting to note that the top rated left-footed full-back is Paul Konchesky of West Ham.

Oh and Jimmy Bullard is ranked as the 19th best player overall in the Premiership.

All according to Actim stats of course.

mchurl

How come Darren Bent hasnt got a mention in this team. He has been consistently scoring goals for what is a distinctly average Charlton side.
