Updated Kramb's Law Figures


I've updated "on pitch" numbers to date for the Columbus Crew. These are player results based strictly on what happens when a player starts (Win/Draw/Loss) and on the field (Goals For/Against).

CALLOUTS, GOOD
• Agustin Viana is the only player that has more wins than losses (3 wins, 2 loss, 3 draws).
• Viana has earned half of possible points when starter, best on Crew.
• Danny O'Rourke has best Goal Diff (GD) when on pitch (+0.56)
• Eddie Gaven, Dominic Oduro, Agustin Viana also good.

CALLOUTS, BAD
• Tyson Wahl. -0.11 GD when on pitch
• Wahl only player with negative GD on club
• Federico Higuian, Jairo Arrieta, and Ben Speas are even on GD but below team average.
• Crew average opponent combined table rank: 12th
• Eddie Gaven and Chad Marshall are only players to make start in at least 1 game in first 10 since 2011.

KRAMB'S LAW OF PERFORMANCE
For a couple years I've been messing around with how players do as starters and not long ago Chemical Engineer, Ryan Kramb asked about results when players were on the pitch.

KRAMB = (AVG ON PITCH GD + TEAM PTS EARNED WHEN STARTER)

So... higher the number the better, easier way to put it.

KRAMB : NAME
1.89 : Danny O´Rourke
1.75 : Eddie Gaven
1.75 : Agustín Viana
1.50 : Dominic Oduro

1.40 : Andy Gruenebaum
1.40 : Chad Marshall
1.40 : Joshua Williams
1.40 : Gláuber Berti

1.20 : Federico Higuaín
1.17 : Jairo Obando Arrieta
1.00 : Tony Tchani*
1.00 : Ben Speas
0.89 : Tyson Wahl
-2.00 : Matías Sánchez*

*Tchani and Sanchez - less than 5 Starts. Always need 5 starts.
