PStats (Acronym of PeasoStats) seeks to be an appreciation coefficient for the efficiency of a team in Hattrick, depending on the obtained qualifications in a match, and to bring the results as close as possible to what the game engine considerates to be this team’s efficiency.
This coefficient does not try to be a tool to solve the score in a match, but tries to be an indicator of the exact efficiency of a team and a statistic to show which the evaluation tendency is.
The reference point that has been taken to make this research is the statistic section: My games > Best played games > All Team. There, we can find a classification of the 15 games in which HT considers that the team has had the best efficiency, and compares it with percentages. A consideration that has been taken is if these statistics really reflect what the engine considerates to evaluate a game, but we have supposed that this is correct, as if it was not, the statistics would be useless and would give wrong information.
The HatStats index, due to its simpleness and universality has become the start point. For not initiate, HatStats is based on the numerical equivalence of the Hattrick qualifications in every zone of the field. i.e. 1=Disastrous (very low) and increasing 1 by 1 every level (very low, low, high, very high), so that we have 4 points for a full level and 80 for every zone of the field. As HT gives 3 qualifications in defense and attack and only one in midfield (MF), this one is multiplied by 3. Adding all these 7 marks, we get a range from 9 to 720.
The basic problem in HatStats is its equability when comparing the specific weights in every zone of the field, as the general feeling is that players and scores in the games make us feel that not all lines have the same weight and cannot have the same consideration, as in a standard tactic like 4-4 -2 it cannot have the same value a winger (where only one player plays) than an inner (where 2 players usually play).
Another advantage of this new index is that, as it is studied with percentages to each one of the obtained qualifications, its absolute weight indicates its global team potential, able to translate it into HT qualification terms.
