A-M POTS

[AmeriGooner]

Good Morning you degenerates.

In a fit of boredom, I decided to aggregate the MOTM polls @A__G so graciously posts each week into a running Player of the Season calculation. My (probably flawed) methodology was to assign 3 points for the player voted MOTM across all competitions, 2 points for the player who received the second most points and 1 point for the player receiving the third most points. For example, from the Yanited match Zinchenko received 3 points, Nketiah 2 and Saka 1.

I think you all may be surprised at the current standings:

1. Granit Xhaka, 19 points
2. Martin Ødegaard, 17 points
3. Thomas Partey, 13 points
4. Aaron Ramsdale, 12 points
T-5. William Saliba, 10 points
T-5. Bukayo Saka, 10 points
T-7. Gabriel Martinelli, 9 points
T-7. Gabriel Jesus, 9 points
9. Ben White, 8 points
10. Oleksander Zinchenko, 6 points
T-11. Fabio Vieira, 5 points
T-11. Gabriel Magalhaes, 5 points
T-11. Eddie Nketiah, 5 points
T-14. Kieran Tierney, 4 points
T-14. Matt Turner, 4 points
T-14. Takehiro Tomiyasu, 4 points
T-17. Reiss Nelson, 3 points
T-17. Marquinhos, 3 points
19. Rob Holding, 2 points
T-20. Cedric, 0 points
T-20. Emile Smith-Rowe, 0 points
T-20. Mohamed Elneny, 0 points
T-20. Leandro Trossard, 0 points

No, that checks out. Despite individual dips from time to time our midfield is our strongest asset. So, all three midfielders being top three makes sense.

Don't see anything controversial in there tbh. Maybe White could be a bit higher? Maybe.

 

[Farzad Stoned]

I can’t see how Saka and Martinelli are so low. For me it goes Partey, Ode, Saka in order of importance

 

[Gooner416]

Its between Ødegaard and Saka. I'd probably give it to Ødegaard given he's leading the PL in goals from midfield. Almiron has more goals than Saka at this point.

 

[BergMan]

Xhaka has been our most consistent performer of the season.

 

[Erlis]

I normally do not vote in these threads as season is going perfectly and normally more than one player deserve to be mentioned as player of the match, but I do agree with @BergMan's post. Xhaka was consistent in 99.9% of the matches this season.

 

[Riou]

I am pretty certain Arsène won MOTM for the West Ham game...so were he at?

 

[Taneruit]

Xhaka has been our most consistent performer of the season.

That an he's got 2 POTM' for this season, meanwhile Saka and Ode (especially) had slow starts to the season.

People really shouldn't be surprised.

 

[AmeriGooner]

Hey yall,
Thought I’d update the standings following the Fulham game:

Xhaka 21pts
Ødegaard 19pts
Saka 17pts
Partey 17pts
Saliba 14 pts
Ramsdale 13pts
Martinelli 11pts
Jesus 9pts
Zinchenko 9pts
White 8 pts
Gabriel 8pts
Trossard 8pts
Nelson 6pts
Vieira 6pts
Nketiah 5pts
Tierney 4pts
Turner 4pts
Tomiyasu 4pts
Jorginho 4pts
Marquinhos 3pts
Holding 2pts

 

[MartiSaka]

Saka has brought himself back into contention being a dominant player over our slump, whilst Oordegaard and Xhaka had a quiet month in February. What surprised me most was that Gabriel only picked up 3 points during this period. Along with saka, he was our best player. Even saliba picked up more points than him during this period.

 

[Rex Stone]

Imagine if we had Trossard for the whole season

 

[AmeriGooner]

[AmeriGooner]

As it is the 1/3 point in the season, I thought it a decent time to reveal where we are with the current A-M Player of the Season tally.

1. Declan Rice: 24pts
2. William Saliba: 11pts
T-3. Gabriel Martinelli: 9pts
T-3. Leandro Trossard: 9pts
5. Bukayo Saka: 8 pts
6. Martin Ødegaard: 7pts
7. Eddie Nketiah: 6pts
T-8. Kai Havertz: 5pts
T-8. Oleksander Zinchenko: 5pts
T-10. Takehiro Tomiyasu: 4pts
T-10. Gabriel Jesus: 4pts
T-12. Jurrien Timber: 3pts
T-12. Fabio Vieira: 3pts
T-14. Aaron Ramsdale: 2pts
T-14. Reiss Nelson: 2pts
T-14. Ben White: 2pts
T-14. Jorginho: 2pts
T-18. Jakub Kiwior: 1pt
T-18. David Raya: 1pt
T-18. Emile Smith-Rowe: 1pt
T-21. Gabriel Magalhaes: 0pts
T-21. Mohamed Elneny: 0pts
T-21. Cedric Soares: 0pts

A little shocked to see no love for big Gabby.

Not shocked to see Declan running away with it.

Can you explain the score system please?

 

[A_G]

Can you explain the score system please?

It’s in the OP.

 

[db10_therza]

Can you explain the score system please?

You lot and your ‘what’s the score system please’ waaaa waaa waaa.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Rice and Saliba are the top 2. That's fair.

Gabriel should be top 5 at an absolute minimum though, probably higher.

 

[grange]

Good stuff. Don't defensive players have an upward hill to climb for MOTM voting generally speaking? This also speaks to our defensive nature this season as opposed to our offensive output last season as well as Kai's lack of influence across the board.

 

[AmeriGooner]

Another update to the A-M Player of the Season tally:

1. Declan Rice, 34pts
2. Martin Ødegaard, 21pts
3. Bukayo Saka, 16pts
4. William Saliba, 14pts
T-5. Kai Havertz, 13pts
T-5. Gabriel Jesus, 13pts
7. Gabriel Martinelli, 11pts
8. Leandro Trossard, 9pts
9. Eddie Nketiah, 8pts
T-10. Oleksander Zinchenko, 7pts
T-10. Takehiro Tomiyasu, 7pts
T-12. Reiss Nelson, 5pts
T-12. Jorginho, 5pts
T-14. Aaron Ramsdale, 4pts
T-14. Gabriel Magalhaes, 4pts
T-16. Jurrien Timber, 3pts
T-16. Fabio Vieira, 3pts
18. Ben White, 2pts
T-19. Jakub Kiwior, 1pt
T-19. David Raya, 1pt
T-19, Emile Smith-Rowe, 1pt
T-22. Thomas Partey, 0pts
T-22. Mohamed Elneny, 0pts
T-22. Cedric Soares, 0pts

Shocked at how high Havertz is and how low big Gabi and Ben White are.

Why is there a rip off @A_G on the forum?
