Elliot Anderson is emerging as a star this season, providing two-way play in midfield as the lone bright spot for Nottingham Forest.

This week's article for @thetransferflow.bsky.social is on Anderson, and the power of being a high-floor central midfielder

99th percentile in:

• Line-breaking passes
• Deep progressions
• Passes into the final third

Why Elliot Anderson might actually fetch the £100m price tag Nottingham Forest put on him.

Bournemouth wanted everyone to know Antoine Semenyo has a £65m release clause because they want someone to pay it.

We don't think anyone's going to pay it.

Is anyone buying Antoine Semenyo at a £65m price tag?
Bournemouth are trying to sell at the top of the market.

The last season before Haaland, Man City ranked 93rd out of 98 big five league attacks for heliocentrism (Sterling led the team with 14% of their npxG) and they were the best team on the planet
November 18, 2025 at 3:51 PM
In 2020-21, Robert Lewandowski had 35% of Bayern Munich's xG, the highest ever mark for a player on a title-winning team in a top 5 league.

Erling Haaland currently has 60% of Man City's xG.

www.thetransferflow.com/p/manchester...
Manchester City's over-reliance on Erling Haaland is crazier than you think
City are the top scorers in the Premier League this season, but only one of their players has found the back of the net multiple times.
