Russell Martin and Gary O 'Neill paying the price for underperforming bookies expectations.
This is why I look at this metric - to see how many pts teams are getting compared to how much the bookies and joe soap expected them to gain. Expectations are everything.

Maybe. For what it’s worth I’m sceptical that data is having any significant impact on the way football is played

Has the impact of analytics on modern football been overstated?
The debate in analytics has inevitably been framed as ‘Spreadsheet Nerds’ on the left versus ‘Old-School Football Men’ on the right

In NFL history, six QBs have averaged 275 passing yards/game and had 30 TDs and 5 or fewer INT through the first 12 games of the season.
Joe Burrow is the only one of them to have a losing record. Four of the five won NFL MVP that season.

It’s a simple exercise but you can start to see the various parties’ weaknesses (and/or openness to variance).
▪︎ SF are your atypical “stars and scrubs” team coming out on top for the number of candidates nailed on. But the back up bench is weak.
▪︎ FF are just solid across the board. (2/3)

Bears QB Caleb Williams has now gone 232 consecutive pass attempts without an interception, both a Bears franchise record and an NFL rookie record. He's the first rookie QB to go 6 games without a pick since Charlie Batch in 1998.

I just want to put it out there that I am still looking/available for any paid remote recruitment work within football (club or consultancy). I've done public analysis for nearly a decade, and have a bit of experience working within the game as well during the early parts of Covid (2020-21)

🎨 Consistency: possibly the most important consideration when using color in a data visual or dashboard.
The role of color is not (only) to make your visual look good, but mainly functional: to provide emphasis and structure, to draw the attention or distinguish categories.

How do they reduce the list? So many of these guys are all time greats. I'd put nearly 15 of them in the Hall of Fame. The fight to get in is brutal.
