@KierDoyle @AnalysisEvolved Obviously I have the historical data, but the work to keep updating this data going forward will take some time.

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

As https://t.co/TQxnaLqwd4 have lost access to advanced metrics, this will impact mclachbot. I have some plans on next steps, but they will take a while to implement. As a result, there'll likely not be data updates to radar charts and much of the other data until summer.

Harrison Reed blinder had a PSxG of .76 - insanity.

By comparison, long throws are much less of a factor in Ligue 1, where only 4 teams have attempted 1 or more long throw into the box per game, only 1 team generating 10 or more shots from them multiple teams generating 0 shots from long throws.

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

Long throws have become a potent weapon for Premier League teams this season, with every team but 4 attempting more one or more long throw into the box per game. 11 teams have used them to create 10 or more shots and Chelsea are the only team to not create a single shot from one

New tool
Detailed data for analysing goalscoring performance are going to be added to this tool soon.

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

I hope you find these useful in your data exploration journey. I'm actively working on additional features and views. Please feel free to provide feedback on anything you want changed or added.

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

Lots of new features added to https://t.co/LYerCRCCJb over the holidays. First is a League Performance table that lets you dig into teams' underlyings vs actual goals, slicing by a variety of situations, game states, shot types, etc.

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

The second is a detailed shot visualisation tool, allowing you to see where every team have taken and conceded shots, again, slicing by various situations, shot types, etc. Includes a neat feature to draw a zone on a pitch to see data on just shots from that zone.

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

Can extreme xG overperformers sustain it? History says, "not so fast". This is a very important infographic to see for people who argue that we should look at large G-xG as evidence of finishing ability.

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

@arasaka222 @ChicagoDmitry Didn't make the minutes cutoff, but damn, those are eye popping numbers.

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

https://t.co/LYerCRCCJb is back up and running.

It will be a text-based data alternative to https://t.co/EGguHYKS9M

[McLachBot @mclachbot]

Belgian League features 5 of the players on this list. They tend to sell relatively well and some of the players on this list are surely worth a look by lower Premier League teams.

All data is from https://t.co/TQxnaLr42C, for the last 75 days for players U25, with min 400 mins

Spotlighting the 10 young attackers who have been popping up outside the big teams lately

The following U25 attackers have caught my eye for putting up impressive numbers in the last 75 days. Many play outside the Top 5 leagues and might be ready for a step up.

10/ BRUNY NSIMBA (Dender, 25)
npxG+xA/90: 0.66

Angolan winger who was raised in Belgium. 14 goals in second tier two seasons ago. 9 goals in 38 last season helped Dender survive. This season improved even more, but faces a challenge as Dender are in last place.
