One metric that would be interesting to look at is some of the more physical aspects of the game. I get the sense Diggers could run and run and run and run. Is there a way to look at the distanced covered on the pitch?
Are certain players scoring more when they're running more vs running less?
Presumably Wingbacks are covering loads of ground so are less likely to produce assists than wingers?
Cavaet with I am not a stats person, I know very little about tactics of football, just know how to shout loud. Love the work.
Great questions! I was already planning on putting a playing style chart in the next edition and sharing a couple others teams’ too… and this will compare to teams across the world, we can see possession, circulation around the back, low block, crossing tendency etc. I think this will help a lot there
Ill also see if I can get on your second part. I have stuff already to see the success rate of team’s buildups (getting into opponents half or opponent third) and possession length. I’ll see what I can do to connect them and give more insight into the style!
This is just always so so so good.

Thank you! Yeah there is physical data out there, but the downside is it’s not available to most people because it’s so expensive :(
I don’t have anything on distance, speed, etc sadly!
