Exciting times, finally posting a new article again. I'm in the midst of a big research on how we can use data to predict future performances and mid-process you create metrics/scores to help you along.
There's merit in sharing the process, even if the results might be negative

Lessons from the NFL: Explosive Plays Analytics ⚽️🏈📊
I turn to the NFL analytics and adapted their Explosive Plays for football. The focus is on making plays from possession, which involve goal kicks, deep free kicks, kick-offs, and defensive throw-ins.

Using correlation we can see that there is little predictability between traditional aerial dominance metrics and points per game. With ASIR, we have a higher correlation.

It’s good have a path in front of you, but in all honesty we don’t speak enough about in professional football: the doubts that can occur in the analysis/recruitment fields.
Am I good enough? Should I do things differently? Why are my peers progressing and I am not?

Every season I take one specific league, watch majority of the games, release all my data analysis + engineering on that league and create models/apps.
Best thing I've done to get to know the league on a deeper level. This season? Portugal 1st tier.
