I got good response for the first summary post I did last week. Here is a summary of articles done using MCFC Analytics data in the past week.
@MarkTaylor0 did a great post called “How teams win”. Mark calculated a list of various correlations that lead to wins.
Mark also did another interesting post on Newcastle’s 2011/12 season and the role of luck in their success.
@JimmyCoverdale Did a post enumerating how “Will he score goals in the Premier League? Is a wrong question to ask “ of newcomers to the league.
Jimmy also has a great post discussing the “Effectiveness of Crossing and the correlation with chances created”
@Zahlenwerkstatt did a post ranking goalkeepers in the 2011-12 season based on minutes played, save % and goals conceded.
I have made a couple of follow-ups based on the feedback of “Final 3rd Analysis“ Follow up #1 & Follow up #2
I have a couple of new posts lined up for later this week.
@OptaPro & Gavin Fleig‘s update on the Advanced data & T & Cs
Simon and Gavin released the updated T & Cs this past week allaying apprehensions of some of the bloggers regarding some of the language in the original T & Cs.
They have also announced that the first installment of the advanced data set will be released this week! I am excited.
If you find an article that is using MCFC Analytics data and is not posted here, please let me know. I will add it in the next week’s summary.
