The Nation's League 24/25 draw takes place in Paris this evening, and Irish fans will have one question answered regarding the team's future. What areas should the incoming manager focus on in order to make it a successful campaign?

@GlidingPhoenix Auckland FC won the A League. Auckland City play domestically in the NZ League and are amateur, but played in the CWC last year.

@Docuzor @EBL2017 By 'lucky' do you mean winning every single league phase game? Strange definition of luck.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

We did it, together.

Hello you beautiful people, we've only gone and done a little fanzine for those of you travelling to Plovdiv!

It's packed with tips, facts and most importantly propaganda for the pod 😀

Let us know what you think, it's our first attempt so your feedback is very welcome!

Yes, it's retro, so the colour scheme is supposed to make your eyes bleed 🤣

How can you measure control on a football pitch and what tactical insights can it give you? I took a look at some data from the first 20 EPL gameweeks and wrote about it on Medium 👇

Expected goals as a metric is widely agreed to be at its most valuable by looking at averages over a span of ~15 games, but it still can provide useful insights over smaller periods too to aid video analysis

Had a play around with FBRef and Fotmob data and created a Tableau dashboard looking at the top shooters and their NPxG in the Premier League so far this season (those with 4+ shots). Early days and a very small sample size of 4 games but some interesting insights already 🧵📈

4. Watkins
- Had a slow start to the season with 0 goals in his first 3 games before scoring 2 at the weekend
- His cumulative shot quality in games 1-4 has went from 0.11 - 0.87 - 0.71 - 1.18 so can assume he's beginning to get up to speed this season
