Guardian Chalk Board

Nice work setting this thing up Laurence. I assume I know what I am doing, treating this thing like a posting on Fantasy Football but with more options/facilities/potentialities etc.

Just thought I would mention the new stat facility from the Guardian, many of you will have seen it already, but thought I would get it into the blog as this is exactly the sort of place I should be linking it for everyone.

With that in mind, I will give brief summary - the facility is called Chalkboards and it is supposedly used by Premier League managers from Alex Ferguson to Ricky Sbragia. It gives you accurate stats on all players passing/shooting/tackling/interceptions etc in all matches in the last three seasons. The visuals are the main attraction as they can tell you where a player is making his passes and interceptions etc, plus there is the ease with which you can study a player's performances in individual matches.

It looks like it could be very useful, but I think it could take a while to see how it can be used to its full potential. I am hoping it can provide some illuminating information with regards fantasy picking.
