Crew Player Goal Differential, Updated

Here is each Crew player's goal difference when on the pitch this year (league games). I'm working on a much larger post over at Massive Report but it was getting cumbersome with explanations and all.

There's like a billion asterisks to something like this, but here are the numbers. On the left is 'goal difference per 90 minutes played' and on the right is total 90 minute matches.

Pulling out the players with over 5 (450 minutes) played thus far this year.

GD p90 : Name : 90 min
+0.48 : Danny O'Rourke : 10.5
+0.40 : Eddie Gaven : 10.0
+0.32 : Agustin Viana : 6.2
+0.29 : Josh Williams : 14.0
+0.25 : Chad Marshall : 12.0
+0.21 : Dominic Oduro : 14.4
+0.06 : Andy Gruenebaum : 16.0

+0.00 : Glauber : 13.0
+0.00 : Tony Tchani : 7.5
+0.00 : Tyson Wahl : 14.9

-0.06 : Federico Higuain : 15.8
-0.11 : Jairo Arrieta : 8.8
-0.14 : Ben Speas : 7.3
-0.29 : Matias Sanchez : 6.9

Here are the players less than 450 minutes. An important callout (which I'm working on 'splaining better at Massive Report) is that these players seem to be dragging the club down. Lots of part time / reserve type players here. This is different from years past in that there was not any sort of gulf between Senior team and 2nd team.

GD p90 : Name : 90 min
+4.74 : Ryan Finley : 0.4
+0.46 : Bernardo Anor : 2.2

+0.00 : Konrad Warzycha : 0.2

-0.49 : Chad Barson : 4.1
-0.50 : Eric Gehrig : 4.0
-0.51 : Justin Meram : 3.9
-0.54 : Kevan George : 1.8
-0.78 : Aaron Schoenfeld : 1.3
-1.22 : Ethan Finlay : 0.8

Barson should probably not be an option going forward. He seems like a nice kid but, like Gehrig and Meram, is approaching 5 games and deep in the negative. Not ready for primetime in this particular tactical setup Warzycha has.

Do I think Meram and Gehrig might (particularly Meram) do better in a different system? Yes.

Stay tuned to Massive Report for more. Bourbon is running out and I've got some Rhett and Link to catch up on. Buies Creek y'all.
