New kit is available:
http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3177361/title/new-kit-in-store-nowWhich means y'all get to help me pick out my first shirt/jersey/???. Over lunch I worked up this spreadsheet to help me decide. I grew up a hockey fan, and I always liked Bill Guerin because he specialized in the Gordie Howe Hat Trick...a Goal, an Assist, and a Fight. So this spreadsheet helps me calculate the Guerin Index. I grabbed the current year stats off Goal.com for most of the regulars, to save time. I then weighted the metrics by general position, using some help from a buddy. Here's what I came up with:
I really like Mata anyway, so that's a good sign. It also indicates that £50M may not be as horrible as some think, but I'm not getting a Torres jersey anyway.
Other considerations:
- Eden Hazard seems like too easy a choice right now. I'd like to be a little unique.
- I love Frank Lampard, but I don't like the uncertainty around his future with the club.
- Ramires is an interesting choice. Doesn't score a lot, but his goals are spectacular and in big games.
- David Luiz is too volatile. Great goals but gets schooled on defense from time to time.
- It's really hard to apply rates to Defenders.
- I threw Marko Marin in with the Fwds just because
- John Terry - Controversial, but Brave & Loyal
- I gave Cech credit for a goal for his PK save in a Champions League match.
What say you? I'm also open to reweighting, so throw your input here.
In the meantime, I'm going actually...work....or something.
