Players individual +/-

[Coach_Barry]

When I played indoor at "The Bubble" in Mansfield, my friend and I would have a little friendly competition and keep track of our personal goal differential, then compare how we did after the game.

MLFS, conveniently, keeps track of the goals scored for and against for each player while they are on the field.

Here are the Revs players GD

John +4
Brown + 3
Dempsey +3
Joseph +1
Hernandez 0
Simms 0
Ralston 0
Cancela -1
Smith -1
Noonan -1
Galik -1
Lochhead -1
Dorman -2
Heaps -2
Reis -2
Larentowicz - -3
Parkhurst -3
Twellman -3
Riley -4
Franchino -9

If I went straight with these scores, then our best starting XI would have to be:

Simms Noonan
Smith Cancela Joseph Dempsey Brown
John Hernandez Ralston
Reis

But with our current injuries we'd have to go with this for tomorrow night:

Smith Dempsey
Ralston Galik Cancela Joseph Brown
Lochhead John Heaps
Reis

So, it's not perfect.

Franchino -9

Umm .... wow. I know this doesn't give all the info that's needed to judge the -9, but that's a pretty amazing number.

wow.
Helping on defense does not overcome the killing of the offense.

[RevsRule]

We don't need no stinkin numbers. Joey starts, captain for life! period :D

Can we add columns of minutes played, games played, team record in games which the player appeared?

Before making any inferences it might also be interesting to look at these stats too since my +/- is 0 right now which makes me more valuable than half our team :)

Admittedly not perfect, but still interesting. As for the other stats, perhaps a minimum # of games/minutes played would give the list more validity. As for team record in games played, I am not sure I would want to credit a player with a win if the team was down and then came back when he was subbed out. Though Joey did say during our Revolution Recap interview that one of his contributions to the team is to tire out the opponents right-sided player so that Khano could then come on and run at a tired player for 20 minutes.
