How does the U’s data so far compare with past seasons’ promoted teams?

It’s the end of the month, which as ever means it’s time for October’s Get Your Stats Right. This month Ben is challenged to see if there is a team promoted from League Two that shares a similar profile to United’s so far this season.

It was Matt Caspell from UTAS who asked this question, wondering whether there were any promoted teams from League Two in previous seasons that matched up to United’s profile? 14 games in and with a decent enough sample size now, it’s perfect for this month’s edition of Get Your Stats Right.

Let’s take a look at Cambridge United’s profile up to the end of October and see how it compares to the last four League Two campaigns. That’s 16 promotions: did any of them play/perform similarly to this Harris side of 25/26?
