This week, Neil Kilkenny announced his retirement from professional football, closing out a remarkable career that included spells at Leeds United, Melbourne City, and Perth Glory. At 39, he finishes at Sorrento FC, where he helped the club achieve immortality last season.

Kilkenny’s leadership, experience, and intangibles are irreplaceable, but what about his actions? For that, we turn to data.

Radars are Ben Griffis
Data is Wyscout

As always, feedback appreciated

@yureedelahi @BeGriffis Yah those ones where you select 4-5 normal metrics are silly. These full ones or the value framework ones (pass, shoot, receiving, dribbling etc) are the best and only ones that should be used.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

Beach and Herrington. Herrington is 18. He was a regular in a top 50 league in the world at 17. He has played different roles at the back and defended types of players in different zones. He will start for a team in a top 25 league in the world next year. He is a rare archetype of player with height, speed, intelligence and left footed.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@SantiSignals @insightlane xG is awful in low samples.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@BeGriffis Question on why xg after crosses and not recoveries?

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@EmlynBreese Yeah Ben is inspiration for any analytics guy.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@kristianvpisano Hard one to take on considering you want best 22 players. Best 7 are 100+.

@scout_aussie From earlier on in the A-League season. What a player.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

Guess I better start doing these since I’m in hat territory.

Daniels over Clarry for the cash over the next two weeks.

Rank 210.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@yureedelahi It’s exceptional work.

Couple of things.

1. is threat open play? Arsenal in each corner having highest seems strange? I have it differently

2. I think the xpts about Pythagorean adds way to much. I think most people including @BeGriffis tone it down a bit.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@ballboysfantasy It’s our time. Caldwell hold will come through. See ya Scott.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@RowanTAFM Finding the next stretch of top of line scores out of the byes is going to be play. Oliver and LDU are interesting given their run out of thier byes.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@DidakDT Did the same. No idea why bkth are below 4% owned.

[Andy @TacticalFool]

@ballboysfantasy It was a really hard watch. Was meant to be the ace in the hole vs Tigers, to have the extra “premium”.

Mitchell: “He's just management. He's got some ongoing long-term knee stuff, which we just manage really carefully with him. “
