Premier League Injuries updated through 2025/02/27, including an update for the percentage of total team value lost for and against.

let's be honest, in the 'which of the continental tournaments are valuable in comparison to each other' debate, the wrongly-rated one is the Copa America. Routinely a dreadful tournament, such poor quality. Tough to place too much focus on a Brazilian/Argentine winning it. Obv a huge deal for others

I was mostly OK with Arsenal not doing much in Jan (although think Tels is a star). I have lots of questions about last summer though! What was the plan if Sterling didn't happen?

I wrote a little bit about quantifying the impact of fatigue on ball-striking/finishing for players. Do players get tired in-game? Or between games without rest? talatabont.substack.com/p/do-tired-p...

Things I want for this UCL night: - a red zone with all high xG misses and chances - a model that tells me which next goal would be most impactful for top 4, top 8, top 16 chances - A live look at draw outcomes at all times But apparently TVs don't even do PIP anymore and none of the above exists?

I wrote about Long Balls, First Contacts, Second Balls, who's good at them, who's BAD at them, and a few other bits and pieces, for the @statsbomb.com blog here --> statsbomb.com/articles/soc...

Increasingly convinced that MLS + Timber make the Arsenal attack go Unsure if it's completely a good thing?

With Ethan hurt & another controversial ref call, that about wraps it up for league play. Frustrating to talk about refs, but this is the league that said the Doku/MacA 50/50 wasn't a pen and the Saliba one is a carbon copy with less contact. Get healthy, go for cups, go again next year!
