Johnny is someone we highlighted in 2022 when I looked at four players with high potential in Brazil using TransferLab. Interesting to see how heβs developed out of possession

Working on a report for Myles presented a number of fascinating challenges, as so few players break through at his age in elite football and stay there. The process was a real pleasure, though, as Myles and his team really understand the value of analytics.

We would like to congratulate Myles Lewis-Skelly on signing his new contract with Arsenal.
Analytics FC had the privilege of working with Myles and his agent, Marcia Lewis, during the course of the negotiations for his new contract.

Pathways: Should Shakhtar Donetsk be Going Back to Brazil? - Analytics FC
We look at a club with a legacy of bringing Brazilian talent to Europe and ask whether they should, in fact, be casting their net wider
Shakhtar Donetsk have an incredible track record with their signings from Brazil, but as market dynamics continue to shift, might they need to start exploring alternative markets? I dug into the question for @analyticsfc.bsky.social:

Raising the ceiling or raising the floor? The curious case of Jude Bellingham - Analytics FC
Using Jude Bellingham as an example, Alex Stewart looks at how scouting theory can identify player types and make better use of them
Is England's obsession with a certain kind of player causing them to misuse Jude Bellingham?
@afhstewart.bsky.social used scouting theory to investigate portability, usage, and what happens when you make Jude 'the man'

A bar chart plotting the 2024/25 player payrolls of all Belgian Pro League and English Championship clubs. The top six are all Championship sides, while the bottom eight are all Pro League teams.
I looked into the relationship between the English Championship and Belgian Pro League for a recent Pathways feature for @analyticsfc.bsky.social. In the process, I found some interesting payroll data from Capology that really highlights the financial disparity between the two leagues:

How Liverpool can replace the irreplaceable Trent, according to transfer experts
Finding a successor for Alexander-Arnold won't be easy but it is not impossible
Trent Alexander-Arnold's skillset is so niche and rare that those who possess even close to it play in the gameβs rumpled edges, names unlikely to salivate the mouths of Liverpool fans, just yet.
But transfer experts @analyticsfc.bsky.social have found some π

We jumped on TransferLab and used our bespoke profile creation tool to find some Trent replacements. You can't really replace a unicorn, but with a combination of metrics and quality thresholds, you can find similar skillsets.
Great piece by @samcunningham.bsky.social and really fun to work on

Although mostly for fun, this shows how different metrics can be incorporated into TransferLab profiles to ensure that, whatever fundamentals you need for a role in your system or game model, you can also broaden the search to find players who do something a little bit extra!

A special mention too to Dorking Wanderer's Josh Brooking, vibing hard in England's Step 2.

The 'vibiest' CBs (who had played at least 70% of their minutes as a pure CB) were Oumar Solet (Udinese), Laurin Curda (Paderborn), and Odilon Kossounou (Atalanta). All three showed 90th percentile and above values for the metrics we selected.

We created a profile in Analytics FC's TransferLab (Vibey CBs!) and just looked at carries, dribbles, carries followed by pass, dribbles plus (which includes the following action), and Zone 14 passes received. None of that defending nonsense, no long passes, no diagonals.

After Harry Maguire's marvellous attacking moment last night, we thought it would be fun to look at centre-backs who do un-CB-type things.
