Request for assistance-- what are the best ways of measuring performance of soccer players?

[Anonymous]

We are doing an academic study about how football players' movements from one team to another affect their own performance and the performance of their new team. As you know, there are many different measures of football player performance, but we would like to focus on the measures that are most important for each of four main positions (forward, midfielder, defender, and goalkeeper). To avoid biasing the study, we do not want to rely on our own opinions of which measures are most important but would rather like to identify a consensus among a wide range of football enthusiasts. Could you help us?

To complete our brief survey, please go to : http://gwu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8wSujMPOe0sGd7f

Thanks in advance for your time!

It’s already been done. The major league clubs track everything. The better ones will compare there current players with a player they are looking to add to their club. Its datametrics and most of the data is not publicly available.
