Nathaniel Brown | 22 | Left Back | Frankfurt 🇩🇪

Role Archetype: LWB | Progressive Creator

He is an aggressive modern full-back. His profile is built around advancing play, supporting possession and contributing in the final third without sacrificing defensive intensity.

📊 u25 striker ability to create value pre- and post-reception

- npxG-xA received: the xG value of shots less the value of the location where the pass was received
- xThreat received: the value of "danger" received from open play passes and crosses

Not the full picture, but this gives a directionally solid picture of which strikers create value with movement before the reception, which strikers create value after the reception, and which do both.

Everton’s Goodison Park here, back in 1966

Así encaraba y evitaba Eusebio a la defensa norcoreana en 1966.

@efctruth20802 That Christmas period is a real sliding doors moment. 2nd at Christmas and then collapsed to 10th?

The huge over spending crippled us. Mad when you look at Carlo’s interviews when he said Europe wasn’t the target, yet the budget was

James Garner - Passing Profile and Channel Defending

-Garner is the best channel defending midfielder in the Premier League (alongside Iroegbunam and Florentino).
-High volume of tackles in the pockets with a decent success rate (~50%).
-No midfielder made more interceptions in the defensive half-spaces than Garner (19).
-And he doesn't disappoint on the ball. He is rated fairly high for his passing ability, given the kind of defensive responsibilities he has at Everton.
-Gets the ball into the box a lot (context: tall striker) and he can do it from either side of the pitch.
-From a quick glance, we can also see the high concentration of passes to and from the attacking half-spaces.

If a team is looking for a 'pockets' player, Garner is a great option. And I think his ceiling is very high.

@MatteMoretto Hay gente que ve sus números y no entiende que el Elche rechace la oferta de 22 M€ y es que lo peor de Alvaro son sus números cara a puerta, solo J.Álvarez aguanta mejor la posesión bajo presión, de los mas ganadores de suelos, y técnicamente con el balón sobrado. Solo 21 años

[Andy Judge @AndyJudge]

@Progression1878 I think he could be great, this will be another one of my favourite joining another PL club 🙈

[Andy Judge @AndyJudge]

Yeah, I’m all in, Alvaro Rodriguez is the perfect Moyes striker and good at finishing @Everton admin pass it on 😂

Good article this, happy to see one of my favourite players, Amar Dedić (Benfica, 23) listed. Could have come last year for around €10m Euro’s and can also play LB.

Álvaro Rodríguez, delantero del Elche, está en la orbita de la Premier League.

Ya han llegado ofertas importantes por él, de unos 22 millones de euros: el Bournemouth y el Hull City están en la pugna.

Real big fan of Kinteh, would be interesting seeing if he goes to Leeds, I feel €6m will be a steal

[Rudy Galetti @RudyGaletti]

🚨🔥 EXCL | Köln continue pushing strongly for Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh and are ready to raise their offer to €6m after Tromsø rejected a €5m bid, as exclusively revealed in May.

Leeds have also recently gathered information on the Gambian CB, adding him to their shortlist.

[Andy Judge @AndyJudge]

@fc_mossman What is your thoughts on Kodai Sano? Big fan of his, how does the data compare to the PL?

[Andy Judge @AndyJudge]

@Progression1878 @efctruth20802 I agree, It’s interesting though, given Dibling is the development signing. Would a Bowen/Summerville type player be the replacement. Can’t think of any 21-25yr olds that would have the goals and assists we need.

[Andy Judge @AndyJudge]

Everton not getting Europe will hinder us in buying players, but also hurts us in retaining our better players.

This will start to feel like 16/17 season onwards when all the better players left. This is where recruitment and a project/system is very important

[Andy Judge @AndyJudge]

@efctruth20802 Totally agree. If Everton got offered £50m-£60m you should accept, but how do you recruit and sell a project to the next Ndiaye?

[Andy Judge @AndyJudge]

@ScoutTom_ Looking forward to this. I have a feeling through Moyes is looking at defensive FB’s. Which narrows down the options and scope

There’s been a lot of feedback on Hayden Hackney. Everton fans, here’s a professional view below. 👇 Spencer will give us a balanced view

Hayden Hackney x Tim Iroegbunam would be about as complimentary a data pairing as you could find
