@withqwerty under-score, over-score

@BeGriffis second only to the dodgers in runs allowed, the defence was always there, the boys are just mashing now

This turnaround is actually insane

@PPetrov_FR The "bypassed opponents via pass" machine 😂

@BeGriffis Not a single soul familiar with the USL Championship should be surprised by this. 😅

A while back @tmccabe98 sent me an interesting idea... is it possible to measure a team's diagonal tendency? The idea is to see what teams break lines with diagonals, but also dive deeper to see inside & outside diagonals Data via @impect_official

@maciej_jeicam I've liked Popa in Romania and think he could do a really good job... but it is risky tbf 😅

@BeGriffis I'd reconsider the GK position. Idk about Popa, bit Lis from Lech and Schulze from Górnik seem to be no1 choices for their teams, both with respectable defences in front of them.

I bet it'll suck but lfg

So it's only natural Oakland's main diagonal line-breaker is... ... Tommy McCabe 😉

New Mexico lead USL Championship for using diagonals the most to break lines, while Monterey Bay are the lowest As Tommy put it, "the only truly safe progressive option nowadays is diagonal", and we see that discussed a lot by coaches. Diagonality is getting more important

@widzewometr You guys messed me up last season 😅

@BeGriffis No one from Widzew? It won't work 😆

I have made a deep dive into the match Besiktas vs. FC Midtjylland in #EuropaLeague. 👀 My main focus is on Besiktas, so correct me if I might have some shortcomings, because I do not know Türkish football that well. I used TransferMarkt & Best 11 app by @BeGriffis 🧵 #FCM #ELDK

@fnpatricke The weights and definitions are in the app actually! Scroll to the right on the tab list They are all my own, there’s no standard weighting in football tbh

@BeGriffis Hi mate, curious as to the roles you have per position, such as deep lying playmaker, adv. playmaker, inside forward etc. To calculate the weighting of each stat per each role, are you relying on a market standard weighting or coming up with your own? Thank you

Major Improvements 👀

Probably releasing this in the coming days. I've been toying with it a ton recently and have a lot of ideas, I just need to know when to stop and let it sit before a V2 lmao In the meantime feel free to ask for a team playstyle to see what tags they have/if they're massively off

I'm also adding some ability to select what seasons to include in the sample. Virtually all leagues have at least the past 2-3 seasons, but a few have data back to the mid-2010s. So you can choose a more "modern" or "old" sample to compare against
