Actim Top 100 Index Revisited – Points Per Game Basis

I’ve been mucking around with the Actim Top 100 Index for a good few years now: I used to publish regular updates in an old forum before Aston Villa Central existed. It’s far from perfect, but it’s a pretty decent rule of thumb type of measure.
Someone once asked me whether the Villa players generally [...]

Villa Players In Actim Top 100 Index – 2009/10 Season

We’ve been checking in on the Actim Top 100 Index all season long on a roughly monthly basis and I’m very happy to include the final standings in the 2009/10 Season Review series as Villa actually top out the team table with no less than 10 players in the 100. If that surprises you, [...]

Villa Players in Actim Top 100 – Mar 23rd 2010

It’s that time of the month again, time to see how our players are measuring up according to the Actim Top 100 Index. This time we once again have 8 players in the top 100:-

6th Gabriel Agbonlahor – 489 points

Villa Players in Actim Top 100 – Feb 23rd 2010

Aston Villa have 8 players in the Actim Top 100 Index this week, second only to Chelsea, with Gabby Agbonlahor leading the way in 3rd place with 475 points.
Focusing on Gabby for a moment; he may well be the embodiment of the Aston Villa style efficiency I’ve been discussing a lot recently. Wayne [...]

Villa Players in Actim Top 100 – Jan 26th 2010

This doesn’t include the Arsenal game, but as we haven’t had an update in 2010 so far I thought it was about time to check out the latest Actim Index. Gabby’s dropped down a place to 5th, but it’s an impressive foursome ahead of him – Cesc Fabregas, Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Wayne [...]

Villa Players in Actim Top 100 – Dec 15th 2009

I haven’t had chance to do an Actim post for a little while, but worry not, I do keep an eye on the data.  I’ve been waiting for the Index to be updated with the data from the weekend as I had a sneaky suspicion that our players would benefit from a certain victory over [...]

Villa Players in Actim Top 100 – Nov 17th 2009

I feel bad, there’s lots of things I could have filled the international break with and Actim is ideal, but it completely slipped my mind. I thought I better throw this update out there before Jermaine Defoe’s 5 goal haul against Wigan wins him every spot in the top 20!!
Of course, I also want [...]

Villa Players in Actim Top 100 – Oct 20th 2009

Milner and Petrov (just) eased back into the Actim Index Top 100 this week, making 8 Aston Villa players overall. James Collins’ performances and winning goal propelled him up the charts from 58th to 16th place – our highest placed player.

16th James Collins – 147 points
19th Gabriel Agbonlahor – 144 points
34th Ashley Young – 124 [...]
