Just posting a quick telestration and some of my thinking when scouting CB's, one thing I'm always looking for is can they decrease or try to decrease the quality of chance for the opposition? In these clips Tom Atcheson already shows potential for this so early in his career.

Following on with another telestration, this time looking at Junior Nkeng and how he effectively uses his body to retain possession and set up progressive play despite not being what many would consider physical.

@fc_mossman Agree Spencer,it's like a player realising they can't rely on a specific skill set or physical attribute that's been reliable for them at a different level and then they move and it's just not the same. I think the effort needs to go into his finishing potentially? thoughts?

[Joe Pearce @joep724]

Very happy to see Tresoldi's name being touted for a move this summer, looking forward to seeing who brings him in.

A football match contains ~1,600 on-ball actions. Traditional metrics (goals, assists, xG) evaluate fewer than 1% of them.

VAEP is the metric that values the other 99%. That's where hidden talent tends to surface. 🧵
