I’m very interested to see how this looks when the sample size increases. How many games do you think we’ll need before we can make some relevant conclusions? 10? 15? Less?

I’m going to start talking trends with players who have five appearences. But I don’t know how accurate they will be.

Good stuff Dave. I’ll be interested to see the trends in time too…

First, I want to complement you on the fine work you have done on your site.

I do have a few questions, however. Why no gk stats? Why are you tracking “clean sheets” for field players?

Again, kudos on your site!

I am currently not tracking keeper stats because I wouldn’t be doing anything original there. I think that the measures of the keeper are well known.

As for field players and Clean Sheets…I do this because I feel that a CS can be a team success and not just due to the keeper. Look at the game against Red Bull for an example. Oddly I tracked this before I found out that the CS is a stat that garners points in MLS Fantasy.
