Another tactico against the Ugarte signing tells me he is going to be a success

[NL @ftblnl]

Thank you to everyone who made the last 4 years of doing this so fun. Unless something changes, I think this is the end of the road.

@MoeSquare Unsurprisingly bad for City

[NL @ftblnl]

Another (too early) look at PL Attack Efficiency

-Palace far better than the rest, City not far behind
-Arsenal and Spurs taken a dip since MW 2
-Everton starting strong
-Bmouth high on quantity but not quality
-Forest joins Villa at bottom of the pack

[NL @ftblnl]

Once again, given the small samples these are of course subject to change very quickly. Be careful when making long term inferences with this data. There have been many drastic changes in this data since the previous version which was done after MW2.

@UTDTruth @TheDevilsDNA @pranav_m28 @MazinsNotebook Ik u didnt ask me but @mckayjohns is the best for this sort of thing imo

Man United 25/26 | LCB, CCB, and RCB pass end locations for passes starting in the middle third.

[NL @ftblnl]

@Wanalyst007 Quantifying their distance from the given trend line (Arsenal or Brentford would be the lowest from the sides below it)

[NL @ftblnl]

A far too early look at PL Shot Efficiency

- Arsenal and Tottenham spotless so far
- City, Chelsea, & B'mouth just behind
- Burnley showing some promising figures
- Villa, Wolves, Sunderland, & West Ham w/ slow starts
- 3-0 may have been a flattering score for Sunderland on MD1

[NL @ftblnl]

@Wanalyst007 Interesting, feels like this matches the eye very well. Have you done residual plots for this? That would show things even clearer imo

[NL @ftblnl]

@Wanalyst007 I didn't love the United performance but once things opened up vs Leeds it looked better

[NL @ftblnl]

With such small sample sizes,context for each game is even more crucial. LFC and B'mouth both have good results here but it's important to note each of them have had an opponent sent off. LFC had a 1 man advantage for 57 mins vs Newcastle. B'mouth had one for 47 mins vs Wolves

Goals are everything in football but some are more important than others. How can we determine the importance of a goal?

Tijjani Reijnders - Ball Carrying Rating (Midfielders only)

-City fans were asking for this. Reijnders is ranked 11th among midfielders.
-Quick, effective and penetrative.
