Thanks to a new feature filtering players against the season's results on Soccerbase, I've managed to produce this little table of stats for our most winning players this season. http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=2471&comp_id=2&teamTabs=results

 

NB : Players are only counted for a win if they STARTED the match, only players with 10 or more starts are included, this is for all competitive matches this season.

 

Saints' average this season is 57% Wins, 23% draws and 20% losses.

 

WIN PERCENTAGES :

 

Chaplow 73

Lallana 60

Hooiveld 59

Fonte 59

Harding 59

Schneiderlin 59

Lambert 58

Davis 58

Hammond 57

Guly 57

Cork 54

Fox 53

Richardson 50

Connolly 47

Martin 43

 

For those of you interested in quirks of tiny statistical samples :

Butterfield 80 (5 starts)

Holmes 75 (4 starts)

Lee 60 (5 starts)

Bialkowski 50 (8 starts)

De Ridder 44 (9 starts, though it goes up to 57% if sub appearances are included)

Puncheon 25 (4 starts)

 

A few highlights :

 

- Despite being one of the leading assisters in the division, Frazer Richardson has a win % of only 50%, whilst Saints have won 80% of their matches without him !

- The stats (from a smallish sample) seem to support the theory that De Ridder shouldn't start.

- Chaplow and Lallana are the "winningest" regulars

- Dan Harding has a much higher win percentage than Danny Fox, with both having started more than 10 times this season.

- Connolly and Martin have the lowest win percentage of starters playing more than 10 matches.

 

There's a fairly obvious skew of results in cup games where we played weakened sides which is acting against some players, but these are the raw figures.

Cardiff (A), Bristol City twice, Doncaster (A), Brighton (A) and Leicester (H) all had Hooiveld in losing starts.

Im pretty sure a couple of weeks ago Adam Blackmore said Saints had never lost with Hooiveld in the team
If that carnt tempts fate live on radio during a match one more time this season I am going to take out a contract on him.....not that I am at all superstitious :frown:

Obviously loads of holes can be picked in this until it's meaningless. For example, Martin would only be called up to an injury depleted side, meaning we'd be more likely to lose his matches. Also it could be argued the other way around that it was lucky for Chaplow that he was injured at a time when our form dropped, so he didn't have to be involved in those games. Also as somebody else pointed out, you've included games where they started, but Chaplow started on Saturday, but was taken off while while we were losing. It was without him that we won.

 

It's interesting, but you can't draw much from it.

Lambert out!

 

The one thing the figures DON'T show is how many matches players have played - logically the players with the most appearances are more likely to be near the arithmetic mean, i.e. 57% - Lallana's 60% over 35 matches is as impressive as Chaplow's 73% in his 15 starts.

 

Don't expect me to start producing pie charts, ranges or standard deviations though.

Lost at Cardiff with him playing, I'm sure of it.
I expect the winner went in just after Blackmore made the observation! It was Hooiveld who gave the winner away as well was it not?

You can draw a correlation between wins and the players playing in those wins, for whatever reason.

 

It was me that pointed out it's only for games they've started, I only had a lunchtime ;).

 

I'd also add that Martin being part of a depleted side because he's in it is about as strong a correlation as you can get... we lose more games with him playing because he's not as good, rather than it being the other way around.

What's certain is that with Jos and José together at the back we've lost very few matches,if any.

That's EXACTLY what I'd expect from you, so if you're not going to do them, I'm quite happy! ;)

Actually... 62% win rate with them both starting, Only 12% defeats (3 games - Doncaster A, Bristol City A and Cardiff A)

 

Matches with J Fonte and J Hooiveld

W16 D7 L3

As a %: 62 27 12

Matches without J Fonte and J Hooiveld 9 3 6

As a %: 50 17 33

yep checked, I got it wrong and edited.

 

Worth noting also that due to Hooiveld's late start, they weren't our partnership in the W6 L1 opening 7 matches either.

Last season (2010/11) shows up an interesting stat :-

Saints - 32-8-13 (60%-15%- 25%)

 

No surprise if I say Adam was our most important player :-26-4-5 (74%-11%-14%).

 

However Alex record was only :- 16-7-7 (53%-23%-23%), which was below the average for the team.

Do you have actually have a job any more?

 

Shortly I shall be going into space, visiting numerous countries to have wacky adventures, and noticing Tadanari Lee uses washing powder with my face mixed with a lightbulb on the box. I'm not as funny as I used to be though.
