Terrace Talk

Introduced in the month of February, United Zone Football Forums has added the man of the match section. This allows members to nominate and then vote for players who they believe deserve the honour for each match.

Player of the Match is tabulated through a two step process. The first step is through nomination. This is done in order from the top player through to the third player nominated. For each match, a point system from three points to one point is assigned to the top player nominated, down to the third player nominated (nominee 1 - 3pts, nominee 2 - 2pts, nominee 3 - 1pt.)

Depending on the number of matches per week, each match thread is opened for a period of 3-5 days. Afterwards, a poll is opened for voting of the top 3 nominees for a period of a week. This allows members to catch the match live or on replay and allow them to carefully weigh in on there selections for both.

It is very important that United Zone members not only weigh in and nominate players, but also make sure and vote.

The top 5 nominations for Player of the Month for February were:

Wayne Rooney (76 points)
Carlos Tevez (69 points)
Anderson (63 points)
Michael Carrick (62 points)
Nani (59 points)

The top 5 poll votes for Player of the Month for February were:

Carlos Tevez (12 poll votes)
Anderson & Nani (6 poll votes)
Michael Carrick & Darren Fletcher (4 poll votes)
Wayne Rooney (2 poll votes)
Cristiano Ronaldo & Nemanja Vidic (1 poll vote)

Final calculations for Player of the Match is determined using the devised formula:

Nomination Points + 2x (Poll Votes)

So it is with great pleasure that United Zone Football Forums recognizes Carlos Tevez as their Player of the Month For February.

Congratulations and continued success throughout the season!
