There it is, that's insane! Even game over game in the league would love to know the average number of changes probably average of 3 a game
I've checked it and can't find any errors, so 43 teams it is (starting 11, excluding subs)

I thought I might have had the same team in a diff order, but no...
Of the teams that have played together more than once, the only combination to have not conceded any goals is:
[formation=4411, Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Chiriches, Vertonghen, Lennon, Sandro, Holtby, Townsend, Paulinho, Soldado][/formation]
The games were
2013/14 PREMIERSHIP Su 27Oct 2013 Tottenham 1 - 0 Hull
2013/14 PREMIERSHIP Su 03Nov 2013 Everton 0 - 0 Tottenham
Instead of lineups, you could take a page from hockey and calculate +/-
That way, the player at each position with the best +/- would be whom you want to start.
But I seem to recall reading somewhere that +/- has terrible predictive power for football (as the number of players increases, how much each player is responsible for a goal scored or conceded gets less obvious).

That's a facking terrible team.
Just based on the a post that was strangely in Bobby's thread, thought I'd put this in that I've thrown together.
As with all stats, there's ways and means of arguing for and against, but statistically we're better when he starts (

This might be a big ask but I was curious to know goals conceded/scored in those 20 games (first and last).
How much has each manager been integral to our shape and system. I think Francis has a great defensive record to begin with but I don't remember being a prolific side until Jol came on the scene.

Could possibly do a GD chart?
I would consider you one hell of a good egg...
Do you have a fucking job?
If not, please don't get one. I fucking love this thead :adebaehug:
Closely followed by Fryers and Capoue!! Fuckin hell...
Chiriches and Vertonghen is a winner!
this the type of thing you're looking for,
Dannyboy
?
There's a noticeable increase in GD since Martin Jol, with a plateau this season (as expected).
The gradient of the Villas-Boas reign (for goals scored) isn't too different to the Redknapp reign, but Harry had more time to score more goals too..
Goal difference is interesting though, Hoddle is a bit crap...lol
The x-axis is games played, Hoddle's side just went to utter shit as you can see

Can you list the matches Zeki has played left back? Regardless of opposition, that is an exceptional record. Particularly when you consider how shit Rose has been (not from a statistical point of view, just in his general play and contribution).Left back position solved. No need to thank me...

Thanks. Very interesting. There's some good sides there, and 4 of them were away from home. 1 goal conceded. Quite exceptional actually. Makes me wonder if AVB/Tim see stats like this and take them into consideration when selecting the team. Obviously just numbers and his performances could have been shit overall! But I doubt it.
This doesn't include his appearance against Benfica last Thursday?
EDIT: He played centre-back. Got it.
Zeki's CB games are:
2013/14 EUROPA LEAGUE Th 12Dec 2013 Tottenham 4 - 1 Anzhi
2013/14 EUROPA LEAGUE Th 20Mar 2014 Benfica 2 - 2 Tottenham
He's made a few sub appearances too, but I stick to mainly starting lineups as you can judge where their position was a lot simpler.
Still not lost when he's started
Small sample size, innit?Just based on the a post that was strangely in Bobby's thread, thought I'd put this in that I've thrown together.
