Opta Team of the Season 2009/10

With the PFA recently announcing their team of the season for 2009/10, Opta use their analysis algorithm, a scoring system based on more than 300 different recorded actions, to provide their own line-up of the Premier League’s outstanding performers of the season:

Marcus Hahnemann

Wolverhampton Wanderers

More saves per game than any other regular 'keeper - 4.4

Highest saves-to-shots ratio of any regular goalie - 79.7%

96% catch success rate

Nemanja Vidic

Manchester United

Blocked 1.17 shots per 90 minutes, only five defenders more

One goal conceded per 128 mins on the pitch - the best rate in PL this season.

Won 71% of his duels - the highest proportion in the league

John Terry 

Chelsea

Only two defenders helped keep more clean sheets (15)

Only two players made more successful passes this season than him (1572)

Scored more than one PL goal for first time since Chelsea's last title win in 05-06

Glen Johnson

Liverpool

 

More successful crosses per 90 mins than any other defender

Created more goalscoring chances per 90 mins than any other defender in open play

2.19 completed dribbles per 90 mins is 0.83 more than any other defender

Ashley Cole

 

Chelsea

Kept a clean sheet in 53% of the games where he played the full 90 mins

Scored three goals from just 10 shots

Had the second-highest passing accuracy of all defenders - 88%

Francesc Fabregas

Arsenal 

Created more goalscoring chances per 90 mins than any other player (3.9)

107 touches per 90 mins is over 10 more than any other player

Most assists in the league this season (13)

Frank Lampard

Chelsea

Scored 20 league goals in a season for the first time in his career

Created more goalscoring chances than any player this season (109)

More shots (109) than any other midfielder

Niko Kranjcar

Tottenham Hotspur 

At Spurs created 2.8 chances per game, 5th most in the league

Has created five or more goalscoring chances in three games this season

Five of his six assists have come away from home

Florent Malouda

Chelsea

Second only to Cesc Fabregas in terms of chances created per 90 mins (3.4)

Set up 10 shots away at Birmingham, as well as having six himself

Only winger in PL to score more than one brace of goals this season

Wayne Rooney

Manchester United

 

Averaged 0.92 goals per 90 mins this season, more than any other player

Top scorer in the league with 26

Only Tim Cahill scored more headed goals (5)

Carlos Tévez

Manchester City

Scored seven braces - a league-high along with Drogba

Was the only striker to assist two goals in a match twice

Since December 1 has scored 20 goals, more than any other PL player

Of the 11 players to have made it into the PFA’s team of the season, only Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fabregas make it into Opta’s.

Perhaps the most surprising inclusion is Marcus Hahnemann of Wolves, the only player in the list not to represent a side in the top seven this season. Though the ‘keeper has been one of the busiest in the league as his side fought against the drop, his excellent saves-to-shots ratio of 79.7% is perhaps the main reason for his position as the Premier League’s number one.

Fabio Capello could be boosted by the presence of five England players in Opta’s team of the season, including three defenders: Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole and John Terry, leaving only one position in defence available (the next highest-ranked central defender on the Opta Index was Spurs’ Michael Dawson).

With the season not yet over, Chelsea fans will be boosted by the fact that players from their team make up four of Opta’s “best XI”, compared to just two from Manchester United and one from other sides. With the Premier League title race still open, will their star performers be able to reach their peak again in the two games remaining and clinch the title?

Also interesting to note is the striker combination that the scoring system provided, as two team-mates from last season, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, were ranked the top performers this season, narrowly ahead of Didier Drogba.[/Quote]

Lol I dont mind you following me around (no homo)

Vida did very well against Torres despite being sent off for fouling Kuyt

The time before obv he had a bad game but had an excellent season

Torres is one of the best CFs in the world, Vidic is one of the best CBs

obv when they play eachother, one has to triumph over the other

So if Torres gets kept quiet all game (as he had every match before last season when you beat us 4-1) does that mean Torres is suddenly sh*t?..

Vidic is just slow, thats it.

Reading Of The Game

Strength

Positining

Timing

Tackling

heading ability

cant be complained about

he's a proper centreback

He has scored 20 goals in ALL COMPETITIONS before

Never has he scored 20 goals alone in THE PREMIER LEAGUE, He has 25 goals in ALL COMPS so far this season, and 20 in the Premier League.

Hope that clears it up

Not really that he didn't state it correctly, 'league goals', its in honesty that you prob dont have enough knowledge about your own team to know what he meant

Cuz I knew what he meant, everyone else knew what he meant

either that or you were too excited to come in and comment and you didn't think properly

And bruv vwhat are you talking about

OPTA is the official stats of the players, which DID place Frank Lampard in its team

PFA is the players awards, the prem players vote for the people who they think have been best over the season to be in the team, frank lampard was not placed in this

So why were you trying to argue with the Opta awards, which, for all intents and purposes, supported your point? :/
