Joshua Kimmich

Team of the Month Analysis

As Kimmich is now categorised as a Midfielder, I have done some analysis into his TOTM returns if he was positioned as such from August until March.

*WARNING*
This tweet may cause some uproar.

#FootballIndex
I have gone through each of his Match Day Scores to look at his Top 3 Scores if he was positioned as a Midfielder throughout the season.

Therefore, Clean Sheet bonuses have been removed. However, I have multiplied his scores by 1.25 for his Champions League fixtures.
This allowed me to create the following table:

This shows each months Top 3 Scores, Sum of Top 3 Scores, and how far off he was from claiming the 4th Midfielder TOTM spot.

Unfortunately for Kimmich, he fails to claim a Top 4 spot in any of the 8 months.
It is also worth noting that International Scores have been included.

This enhances Kimmich's Top 3 Scores for the months of September (220), October (230), and November (221).
I am expected to see replies such that he would have won TOTM dividends in recent months.

However, this is largely due to having a month or pure German football, with other leagues resuming from mid June.
This does not mean Kimmich will continue to miss out on TOTM Dividends every single month, as we can see he narrowly missed out in September by just 8 points.

But due to his lack of peak scores, I don't expect Kimmich to come 1st any time soon within this Dividend category.
I am not going to give my personal opinion on what his price should be and whether he is good value or not, I will leave that for you guys to decide.

But I do think Kimmich will not smash TOTM leaderboards as tables have suggested, based on him as a Defender.
