New Counting Stats

[fclalala]

Sorry, I'm relatively new to the Stats Forum so I apologize if this has been covered in another topic and the site Match Analysis is down for a relaunch so I don't know what kind of work they are doing.

What kind of new counting stats can be compiled for soccer?

In my opinion, the first step would to be define the objective occurences take place in a given match. After that the correlation to scoring could possibly be determined (if there is any)

In example, my suggestion

Pass Connection
A binary compulation of a players' passes that connect to a teamate. 0 for no connection, 1 for connecton. Recorded for Individiuals.

PROS:
Fairly objective. Connection results in teammate holding possesion.

CONS:
Teammate could miss connection via bad touch, etc.

Feel free to blast me for the ignorance of this, or add/contribute.

A poster named Karl K put together a whole system of counting stats (based on another source), but it's hard to find fans who are patient enough to do this kind of thing themselves.

Often, numbers like the ones you describe tell you more about how a player plays than how well he plays. A guy who connects on a lot of his passes is almost certainly delivering the ball to teammates in supporting positions, rather than probing the opposing defense. If you've read the Claudio Reyna debates on these boards, you know that people have widely diverging views about the value of such a player.

Are there any packages, or tools to allow me to record stats in a game? Something on a PDA or laptop for example?

Newbie Alert!!
