As Columbus rides out this terrible run, let's take a look at updated "Net Promoter Scores" (NPS) for each player over the last 10 games (4 points from a possible 30).
A quick refresher on my NPS measurement - It takes the % of good games and subtracts the % of bad to get the final score (more can be found HERE) based on WhoScored game ratings.
NPS Example: David Guzman - 10 games
1 Great (10%)
5 Average
4 Poor (40%)
10 Total
NPS Score: 10% - 40% = -30%
NPS Score (July 15th, rounds 12-21)
+50% : Federico Higuain (inj)
+33% : Gyasi Zardes
+25% : Robinho (traded)
+22% : Pedro Santos
+17% : Waylon Francis
+11% : Héctor Jiménez
0% : J.J. Williams
0% : David Accam
0% : Aboubacar K
0% : Connor Maloney
0% : Ricardo Clark
0% : Josh Williams
0% : Wil Trapp
0% : Artur
-20% : Jonathan Mensah
-22% : Gastón Sauro
-25% : Alex Crognale
-25% : Harrison Afful
-29% : Luis Argudo
-30% : David Guzmán
-33% : Patrick Mullins (traded)
-33% : Eduardo Sosa
-33% : Zack Steffen (transfer)
-40% : Niko Hansen
-50% : Joe Bendik
-67% : Jon Kempin
Highlighting a few players at the bottom here to show regular starting players that are performing poorly. An important callout: the two center-backs playing in front of the two goalkeepers at the bottom.

Here is how it look back on June 5th (rounds 1-16)

Final Crew Player Rankings
Summarizing an entire season in one score is unfair to any individual player but it can tell a story.
Below is how things played out for each Crew player according to the only four player rating models that I know exist. HELLTOWN (me), WHOSCORED.COM (they hammer away at Opta data), CASTROL (they go their own way), FANTASY (MLS fantasy scoring, a rating is a rating).
So, there it is. Why is this not greeted with more fanfare? Maybe a giant post at Massive Report or even petition On the Fire to do it? Because it is basically a list of top minute earners to least.
For me, personally, this is something I noticed the first year I started tracking. The better players get to play more. So much is dictated by the coaches and the league. It's not so much the players ability that is being judged here but more the player's ability to fit into the league system that the play in.
Peel back another layer and you get to the place where Major League Soccer's competitive structure can be so frustrating. In this sport, above all others, good players need other good players to truly rise above the scrapheap of mediocrity (which is sold as parity in the United States).
Food for thought and all that.

MLS Player Ratings Made Easy
While working on a project at work I figured out a way to assign productivity scores in a way that was easier for people to understand. Some teachers already use the method: Sliding Scale. What I've done is take the player ratings that I have been using and put it on a 100 pt scale. The best player receives a perfect 100, the lowest rated = 0.
The best player, according to my ratings, right now is Thierry Henry with a score of 4.4. The lowest rated player in the MLS right now is Shavar Thomas at -2.00. The difference is 6.4 pts. In adjusting the -2.0 to equal Zero and 4.4 = One I just divide everyones score in and multiply by 100.
An early explanation of my Player Scores can be found HERE. Although, that description is not complete, it gives the gist of what I'm using. I'll probably never fully explain all the ingredients I'm using. I did test my score scale on the EPL and it passes the smell test, so I'll stick with it.
This will also allow me to make it easier to understand team power rankings. Since I'm using a 0 to 100 spectrum on the players the score a player receives tells me the score percentile he is in.
Example: The Crew's Designated Player Andres Mendoza has a score of 43. A score that puts him, statistically, around the middle of the 389 players that have minutes this season. Considering his is the 10th highest payed player in the league? I'd say that is an issue... for another post on another day. Shawn Mitchell touched on this in his column today.
Go on Stoke.
