An analytics-based approach has seen tiny Brentford FC climb from the lower rungs of English soccer to become Premier League giant slayers.

🏀 Some clubs don’t play in the #Euroleague
But they help build it.
I tracked 10 seasons of players who made their EuroLeague debut after passing through non-EuroLeague teams across 14 European domestic leagues.
🗺️ I mapped Europe’s hidden Euroleague pipeline.
I found this quote from SGA interesting: "Every team has their identity. And when they impose their identity more than the other team does, they usually win."
"Identity" = things you do well enough that you can fall back on them. Good teams spend a long while building that.
.@BrentfordFC Performance Director @benjaminryan has detailed how the club have an internal ‘Supremacy Rating’ that helps them resist knee-jerk reactions and stick to a long-term strategy.

@CrumpledJumper 4 teams weren’t in top 10 on defensive rating, while on the offensive side 7 teams weren’t in top 10 offensive rating. Also all the 7 teams that weren’t top 10 in offensive rating were top 5 in defensive rating.

🏀🇪🇺 Baskonia vs. Real Madrid: A Closer Look at Player Workload 🧐
Tonight's game between Baskonia and Real Madrid is not just another matchup—it could also be a test of how player workload impacts performance, especially considering Real Madrid's key absences.
Could this intense workload be the hidden factor that influences the game—and the season ahead?
How does their minute load compare to other EuroLeague teams in official competitions (EuroLeague, national league, SuperCup)?
1⃣ High Minute Loads for Key Players
When we look at the percentage of minutes played by the top 5 most-utilized players, Baskonia (63.8%) and Real Madrid (58.3%) lead the EuroLeague in terms of minute accumulation.
This suggests that both teams are heavily relying on their core players.
The EuroLeague average is 53.9%.
2⃣ Real Madrid's Players Dominate in Total Minutes
Real Madrid has 4 players in the Top 10 for most minutes played this season: Facundo Campazzo (187 minutes, though he is absent tonight), Gaby Deck (182 minutes), Edy Tavares (167 minutes), and Dzanan Musa (163 minutes).
One factor contributing to this is that Real Madrid has already played seven official games this season—more than most other teams except for Olimpia Milano, Virtus Bologna, and Bayern Munich.
3⃣ Baskonia's Stars Lead in Percentage of Minutes Played
Two Baskonia players, Chima Moneke (74.6%) and Tadas Sedekerskis (74.3%), top the list for the highest percentage of minutes played. Campazzo and Deck also rank in the Top 10, underscoring their critical roles on their respective teams.
Could this workload affect tonight’s game? And will it take a toll later in the season when the schedule gets even tougher?
