Cool to see the return of what was such a great resource a few years back. Really enjoyed this one and the old episodes are still well worth digging into too.

@robertnhanson @Worville This from @Soccermatics is a nice look at the usefulness of xG (and goals) over different periods of time.

@robertnhanson @Worville Personally don't think there's any right or wrong answer, depends on how much weight you want to give to short term fluctuations in form. I've always liked 10 games because I've found it to be relatively stable and less influenced by tough runs in the schedule.

[Ray Hamill @FinerMargins]

@Worville Thanks Tom, very kind of you! Been really enjoying your work for The Athletic lately 👍

[Javier Fernández @JaviOnData]

Last week, @LukeBornn, @dcervone0, and I uploaded to ArXiv the full technical version of our expected possession value (EPV) approach for soccer, using tracking-data.

I start a thread highlighting the most relevant parts of the paper.
