@appaloosabones Without xG, United is actually 18th in the PL, with 8 points in 10 games. How do you think that this argument makes any sense?

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

Sure, here’s a broader view: United’s average xPts per game since Carrick took over.

[derpy p (: @appaloosabones]

this graph means fuck all until you take a rolling average of ~5/10 games at a time.

xG being flawed without context is still gonna be an issue even then, just not worthy of all this shit

Footverse v3 is live.

Funny how it comes full circle. Footverse was the project that gave me my big break, and I've spent the last few months rebuilding it from the ground up. v3 is a complete redesign with a lot more under the hood.

🟣INTRODUCING PLAYERPRINT

Every facet of a footballer. One app.

Top 5 Leagues | 23/24, 24/25, 25/26 | 4,396 players | 321 metrics

12 concepts on one player page:
Passing | Carrying | Shooting & Footedness | Aerial Duels | Hold-Up | Decision Making | Final Third | Half-Spaces | Tempo Control | Defending | Post-Recovery | Link-Up & Synergy

THE SCOUT. Build the player you're looking for.
Pick up to 10 metrics from any concept. Weight each 0-5 by how much you care. Get the top 50 ranked by Fit, with the percentile behind every column, so you see why he fits and not just that he does.

Nothing is pre-baked. Every percentile, rating and role is computed live against your pool: season, league, position, minimum 90s. Move the pool and the numbers move.

Maps you won't find anywhere else:
Angle Bias Index | Decision Bloom | half-space entries | injectors vs resets | post-carry take-ons | aerial duel quality | link-up synergy

Passes are comets. Carries are dotted. Every visual downloads at 300 DPI.

I wrote the article

wish me luck

Lionel Messi is the GOAT, Ronaldo is not, why just about every statistical analyst agrees

Another update: Player Summary now features a scatter plot with xThreat Prevented vs Offensive Action VAEP

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

@c1utch_i Standard. Atomic is far more complex to calibrate and it had a worse predictive power here: https://t.co/TCE3SrzZBs

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

Minor update to Scout Lab: scatter plots now show images for highlighted players

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

@SimonBrundish Since you work with stats, you know all too well that penalties are much less dependent on individual talent, and that the best player/scorer on a team isn’t always the designated penalty taker.

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé are still 2 goals away from the real record.

Non-penalty goals in the World Cup:

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

3 great World Cup resources I’ve been using:

🔹 Futi app (live games): https://t.co/gaKkDVW045

🔹 Fifaphy by @Vdot_Spain (insane amount of data): https://t.co/FdZAt3h0So

🔹 Expecting Goals by @MC_of_A (model-based projections): https://t.co/jxtQcYVtno

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

Deniz Undav. That's it.

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

@F_Soeren The gap in any other metric would just be hilarious. You wouldn’t like to see it.

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

It was never a debate, Messi is the GOAT.

But in the future, it's possible that we end up arguing about who’s second in the modern era.

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

This post is a response to Ronaldo fans going after Bruno. Everyone has their limits.

[Scout Lab @ScoutLabApp]

Proud of my guy, Diomande is a star. Our fan club welcomes new members.

@CymruComps @ef_Stats It captures the image based on the dimensions of your screen, which is why it doesn’t look good on mobile, for example. Your browser window is probably not very wide. Try hiding the sidebar before taking the screenshot in that case.
