I think it gives an unfair advantage to players that have had less game time. <br /><br />Too understand a players performance their needs to be a benchmark, with a large enough sample size. <br /><br />Weighted by playing time, you could use all of the current metrics, but give's you an average for the sample for each metric. This can then be used to benchmark a player to see if he's an above average, average or below average performer. <br /><br />Hope i'm not just regurgitating what i said before and actually providing a different point of view!

I just wondered what you had in mind as a better tool. As I said, I know just enough to be dangerous, and thought that using a per minute average (which shows the same discrepancy that a weighted per 90min average would show) did what you were asking for.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-35583820129593469372013-08-21T06:14:57.867-04:002013-08-21T06:14:57.867-04:00Sorry Nate, didn't mean to cause any offence. ...Sorry Nate, didn't mean to cause any offence.
