very nice graphics, but not having previous years data is a big drawback.

If you take a look at the data table, you'll see that in the BE Scorecard & statistic value columns they are either colored green or red. I'm doing a least-squares linear regression on the player's BE Score here and showing red if the player's BE Score is trending down over the last 30 days or green if the player's BE Score is trending up over the last 30 days.
