Gday! I have kicked off the Match Ratings averages again for this season.

I'm hoping to be more consistent in keeping it updated, but we'll see what life throws at me this year :)

I'm still hoping to set up something for the 23/24 season and do a comparison with player ratings from 24/25. No promises...

Howdy all! It's taken me a while to get back to this for various life reasons, but I have finally collected all of the average scores (as voted by you and I) from the Post-Match Ratings, combined and then cultivated that data into a nice spreadsheet that I now cede to you all!

I have provided some screenshots and stats below for convenience but, feel free to peruse the link provided.

During the process, I went a little deeper and added additional things like wins/draws/loses, notes for goal scorers, tracked injuries, suspensions, benched players who didn't feature and so on. Those can be found on the other sheets in the document, along with all player scores and a summary I made on how I felt the season went in each competition.


Disclosure: The stats are purely based off of what was rated in the Post-Match Ratings as a collective and therefore is not necessarily representative of any one individual. It also doesn't factor in minutes played, substitutes, starters, dismissals, etc.


Overall Average Totals

  • 🔺Denotes Out on Loan
  • 🔻Denotes On Loan to the Club

Saka takes the top spot with the highest Overall, Premier League and Champions League averages over 37 games.

Or did he?

Although only playing two games total, Nathan Butler-Oyedeji topped in the Overall, Premier League and Champions League Averages:

Kieran Tierney finished his Arsenal career featuring in 20 games with an average rating of 6.94, the 5th highest. His highest score with 8.33, came in his MotM performance against Southampton in the final day of the season, his last in an Arsenal jersey.

Some other (potentially) interesting stats:

  • PL Highest Score: 9.67 Bakayo Saka vs Nottingham Forest at Home
  • Highest Overall Score (All Comps): 10.00 Declan Rice vs Real Madrid at Home and Ethan Nwaneri vs Bolton Wanderers at Home
  • Lowest Overall Score (All Comps): 1.00 Mikel Merino vs Nottingahm Forest Away
  • Featured Most: 56 Leandro Trossard
  • Featured Once: 9 Ayden Heaven, Ismeal Kabia, Maldini Kacurri, Reiss Nelson, Norberto Neto, Josh Nichols, Jack Porter, Tommy Setford and Takehiro Tomiyasu
  • Total Goalkeepers Used: 4 Norberto Neto (1), Jack Porter (1), David Raya (55) and Tommy Setford (1)
  • MotM: Bukayo Saka was voted MotM 9 times, followed by Declan Rice on 8 and Ethan Nwaneri on 6
  • Myles Lewis-Skelly was voted MotM with 6.38 despite getting a red card in the match against Wolverhampton Wanderers

I could spend so much more time delving into these stats, but this feels like it's getting long. So, let me know if there's anything else you want me to pick out. I still plan on tweaking and tinkering as I go.

I plan on doing the same again for this season. I have a template setup now, so I should be able to just put the data in and get most of what I'm after.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to delve into or if you have any recommendations!

Reflecting after signing his new contract, Myles said: “I’m so proud and happy. I know those words are simple, but I think they sum up how I feel signing for this club. I’m a fan and it’s like a dream come true.

“I've embodied the values of Hale End and come through. I've still got a lot of years ahead of me, so if I can keep staying humble and being a good person, that's the most important thing to me.

This feels like something out of the Archer TV series.

Howdy all! For a little while now I've been considering collecting all the data from the post-match ratings to help (mostly me) visalise how we think players have performed throughout the season in all competitions.

I also kind of enjoy tinkering on spreadsheets. I know my way around, but not overly experienced. So, this kind of also scratches an itch since I am "between jobs".

I've included all players including those out on loan and anybody named on the bench who didn't play any minutes. This was so if they do potentially feature in a future game, for whatever reason, I won't have to add them in later. I also thought it would be interesting to track what was happening with each player at those times (i.e. Bench, Injured, Cup Tied, etc).

Whilst writing this I realised I don't have dates for any matches. So, that's something I'll add in at some point.

I also plan on doing something similar for the 23/24 season (maybe not as extensive), but I used this as a smaller test and spring board to find a layout I liked that worked. This was also a little less overwhelming considering we've only played 8 games compared to 38+.

If you would like me to post updates to the ratings every week/month/year/never, let me know. Otherwise, feel free to critique, view, discuss, ignore at your own leisure.

This may be a long rant, but I watched Arteta's postmatch interview and he was (rightfully) savage at the end.

He was asked given the circumstances, Arteta and the players could take some real belief in what they we able to achieve. He replied along the lines of, it's incredible how we reacted, but he could not be happy because he wants to be involved in a high quality game that can be enjoyed and can be spoken about "in the proper way and we are not talking about that."

Then ended, "It's clear, you haven't asked me one single tactical question."

The fact they were asking him his thoughts on all the controversy means nobody got to enjoy a high quality/high stakes game, because it was once again ruined by poor officiating.

How can everyone go from, the refs need some common sense in situations like those, for Rice's 2nd yellow one week, then, Trossard needs to do better, he should know you will get punished for that, the next. Assuming it's for the kick/clearance and not the tackle, it happens in such a split second and then you're expecting him to pull out as soon as the whistle blows. There's a reason someone invented a table saw that shuts off on human contact. We're not that fucking quick.

It's annoying how much people squirm and twist to excuse one player and not another, like Doku. Jesus got a yellow for delaying a restart as well.

What about Haaland? Not a single yellow despite throwing a ball at the head of an opposing player or for the unnecessary unsportsman-like barge into a player off the restart. When City do it, they're just passionate. If Arsenal do it, they're overreacting, they should sit down until they've actually won a trophy. Here's a yellow card. It'll brighten up the place. You know what, two would brighten things up even more! Ohh whoops. Yikes... my mistake. I guess that's red now.

In our game against City last season, although Howard admitted Oliver got it wrong, Oliver apparently didn't want to card Kovacic since he didn't want to have a negative impact on the game. Just fuck right off. Are you there to officiate the rules of the game as your job as a referee or decide when the rules apply dependent on how you feel?

I know the officiating is abysmal for a lot of teams and you can point to any number of reasons why that is. I'm just fucken annoyed by it enough I needed to rant and get it off my chest.

I also want to mention Silva mentioning Arsenal using the "dark arts" is fucking rich coming from this City team.

I could rant about a lot of things, but I'm going to end it here.

the teams working on various Assassin’s Creed games are “part of the brand” and it’s important that all the studios are talking to each other to avoid “redoing work.”

Sounds like they are handicapped by the formulaic structure setup for the AC IP.

I guess it will be akin to previous releases, just more stealth focused again. Potentially.

I would love an AC game made similarly to the style of Dishonored or even Uncharted and the latest Tomb Raider games. Less focus of filling out huge maps and can focus on capturing a more intimate and immersive story that could heavily play into stealth and assasin mechanics.

Just my 5 cents though. A man can dream, lol.

Poor kittie, but very cute.

Sounds like she's in good hands :)

Often... I have sometimes spent hours trying to photoshop faces of my mates (with permission) on random objects or random scenarios, like a cat or kettle, trying to make it look as normal as my skills allow for a 1-off joke.

I would love this so much right now...

A little before I started using Reddit, my mate who told me about it said upvoting was used as a means of promoting posts or replies that people may be interested in, not because you like or dislike a post or reply.

I think Facebook has changed that and I will admit I will thumbs up a post/reply because I like it, but I will also upvote posts I think other users may be interested in.

Agreed! I don't use it as extensively as I probably could, but it feels clean and simple.

It also feels like you have a voice that people can hear instead of being drowned out. It may not last, but it's nice.

I wish I knew, they don't seem to know what happened either, unfortunately.

Howdy all! As the title mentions, what happened to lemmy.wtf?

Someone in one of the communities I frequent mentioned lemmy.wtf was nuked and they lost their account, but I wasn't able to find any further information.

Does anybody know what happened?

This isn't intended to be a support question, it was just to find out if it anybody knew what happened.

EDIT: Looks like Lemmy.WTF is back up
