@thesefootytimes Best and worst game as a Utd fan.

@FPL_Dabby @lauriewhitwell https://t.co/HCtLXNIoxf literal evidence (obviously different players now).

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@FPL_Dabby @lauriewhitwell It just reinforcea the idea that those at the top cause the most damage. Ineffective decision making. Really embarrassing to an already tarnished reputation

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@FPL_Dabby They need a strong escalation route though if players start to revolt. Players trump managers mostly at Utd.

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@pokeefe1 So that approach of "don't like it the. You can go" only works when the club has an ability to sell and it feels like an incentive. Utd are awful at this and Rash and Shaw have basically just gone awol on 500k a week right now.

I’ve combined the 3 main stats to create a weighed scoring system for defenders so far:

• DEFCON
• xGI (highest)
• xGC (lowest)

Key👉🏻If a player has the best DEFCON, the best xGI and the lowest xGC they’d score a perfect 100.

A. Silva: 66
Murillo: 66
Gabriel: 64
Hill: 58
Van Hecke: 57
Muharemovic: 55
Mendy: 55

B. Thomas: 53
Affengruber: 52
Van Dijk: 51
Mukiele: 50
De Cuyper: 50

Jacquet: 48
Calafiori: 48
Hall: 46
Vuskovic: 45
Bogle: 45
Tarkowski: 38

Antonio Silva scoring 66 is really impressive. The Bournemouth defence in general looks to be superb all rounders and maybe the double up should be considered!

Murillo is also maybe a bit under the radar. I’m going to keep a firm eye on him over the next few weeks and see how Forest handle the tough run.

To add more context, Chris Richards is one of the top five DEFCON hitters in the league m but only scores 33 here because his other two fields are terrible!

De Cuyper scores a commendable 50 across the board. Whilst he has zero DEFCON ability, his super high xGI and great xGC numbers keep him up there.

Obviously this doesn’t mean that the lower scorers are bad assets! Vuskovic is incredible for example and his DEFCON numbers are maybe skewed (3 of his fails have come against 10 men).

This is purely trying to find which player has the best of all three worlds!

Apologies about a second long post in the same day 😂

Hopefully this is somewhat useful! Let me know what you think and if you have any questions about the “scoring” system.

@FPLFocal I have this a good go this week...

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@AndyMitten Neither Blue nor Red...

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@_dazzas @FPLJoeYT Do you mean Max Neckman.?

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@CharlieVantFPL I think the opposite. Raise it for cbs and lower for DMs. Or nobody can get both cs and defcon points.

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@FPL__Fran Sold Cala first for Silva two weeks ago. Cala got 12 Silva got 11 after his yc. 😢

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@allaboutfpl Most own Gross and Rogers. Arsenal lads off limits. So who are real alternatives? 5 at the back.?

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@FPL__Fran The shit fw before an IB...🫩

@TomMcKYid @TheSecretScout_ @MikaelHowlett Was just an impossible request they knew wouldn't be accepted but could use as justification to scarper. All developing clubs need better compensation for time spent developing youngsters (with relativity to maturity factored in). Far too easy to jump ship for peanuts.

@ukkcbeard @BBCBreaking Also the energy market will get fucked by huge data centres dwarfing usage and increasing demand artificially.

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@OctopusEnergy But they're also vulnerable to hurricanes which would decimate most of those methods if they struck??

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@FPL_Dabby I like Amad but he's struggled to get any end product. Not helpful in that role

[Steve @FPLDreamer]

@LetsTalk_FPL He'll be out until Jan/feb now 🫩
