10 games of tracking data is awesome for sure and definitely doesn't have a parallel in the soccer space! I was more thinking about how SB free data seems to cover event-level for whole comp seasons

10 games of XY data, and season-level aggregates for midfielders I think. Not _too_ different from past statsbomb releases?

Ah the trouble more specifically is that I’d want to do my dog Jasper, but then I’d need to do him justice and that feels daunting haha
