Here's what a RAWK 'game' looks like..
Liverpool Squad and the "Rule of Thirds"
« on: April 7, 2015, 04:23:08 PM »
So just as an interesting little flight of fancy (and to lighten the mood after the weekend!), and to see what people think of the squad and the players we have in it, here's a little game, of sorts.
The game is simple. The pitch is divided into 9 zones - Left, Central and Right channels, and then Forward, Midfield and Defence lines. The task is to put the players in our 25 man squad (minus the keepers, who have a set position) into the areas of the field you think they are naturally best at, or where you think they'd be most effective, etc. There are a few rules though:
1) Players can't be named more than once. Even though we have players who play multiple positions, they can only be placed in one zone - for example, Can can play in either central midfield, or central defence. But he can't be placed in both
2) Formations don't come into it. It's just the area of the field you think a player would be at their strongest, or best placed for the team (there is no zone for goalkeepers, because goalkeepers are always in the same zone
)
3) Feel free to debate the merits of each posters choices, but bear in mind that every poster will have a different perspective. Hopefully that's where we'll get some good discussion from. There is no "right answer".
4) Disregard whether players are leaving. We're talking about where players might play on the field now, although I'm sure there might be scope to discuss what a player's departure might mean for that zone of the field
To help, there is attached an image of a 9-zone grid. If you copy the image to your computer, you can write in your names into each zone, and then upload it via Imgur or something and post the link for all to see.
If you don't want to do that, then here is a text diagram of the zones. I'm using notepad and the "code" function to get it set right. It might require a bit of work to format it properly, though. Alternatively, you can use "quote" or "code" for each line, and then format for left middle and right channels for each line? Either way, as long as the grids/lists are clear, we should all know what we're all talking about

The Alternative Premier League Table 2015-16
This is a continuation of the last four APLT threads which ran over the last three seasons and can be found here:

For those of you who are new to the APLT, or those who need a reminder of the model, the APLT makes an assumption that in order to win the league title, a team needs to win 90 points for the season. This can be achieved by winning all home matches, the seven ‘easiest’ away matches (the three promoted teams and the 14th-17th ranked teams from the previous season) and draw the 12 remaining away matches. I refer to these as the ‘par results’. As in golf, par will be achieved more often than not, but sometimes points are dropped or gained in relation to par.
The fixture list below for the top seven teams from last season indicates the ‘hardest’ matches which are all par 1s, with the remaining fixtures all par 3s.
Over the season, I will plot the results in relation to par for all the teams featured on a graph (an example of last season’s completed graph is below). If a team plays to par, the line on the graph will be horizontal, whereas dropped points will lead to a negative gradient and gained points a positive gradient.
The green depreciating line reflects a drop of 0.5 points per game (dropping to 19 points below par by game 38) to illustrate a 71 point season, a reasonable estimation of the points needed to achieve a top four finish. Any team with ambitions to finish top four needs to be above this green line by the end of the season.
I’ll do my best to keep this up-to-date as best as possible as the season progresses and I hope it illustrates the impact of results on our season.
I'll also try to send a tweet when I do an update @RawkProf

What the hell have I just read
Something with graphs mate.. something with graphs.. and the word par a lot, that isn't golf.. and err.. I have no idea tbh
Maybe they could alter the pitch markings at anfield to make it easier for the idiots to do their graphs and zones
Maybe it's all down to how many passes lead to a goal . For example ..Skrtyl to Benteke , knockdown to player to score is a par three hoof. Tiki Taki with 1867543 passes is off the chart

I think you sussed it.. I also suspect if the keeper scores its a hole and one and they win the league.

Its a Kopites idea of fun Jal, like Raleigh car racing but with graphs instead of cars and no possible point for existing.. a bit like Kopites in that respect.

It kind of reminds me of Stephen Hawkins writing his theory on black holes and everyone slapped him on the back saying how brilliant it is and how clever he was and all that but only a very few equally clever and equally brilliant people could understand it.
Then one day years later he said by the way that theories a load of BS and those equally clever and brilliant people all nodded and said "yeah of course.....tell us more"
