🗣️ Analyst Jonathan Stoop reports that Brighton’s data model is “reaching its ceiling" and the change in the strategy and summer signings in 2025 have not worked out... 📊 He believes Tony Bloom heavily prioritises data over traditional scouting in final tell decisions which has helped Brighton uncover undervalued talents like Yasin Ayari: "he's good on the ball but will struggle to physically compete in central midfield within English football." ⚠️ But Stoop warns the club’s competitive edge is shrinking as tracking data & AI become widely accessible across football. ⬆️ He also suggests Brighton’s summer recruitment signals a strategic shift and questions whether the execution has been good enough to push the club toward becoming a league-dominant side. "The signings Brighton made in the summer window show a change in strategic direction and I think they have executed quite poorly, but time will tell."" “Tony Bloom has the final say and he certainly values the data's opinion much higher than human opinions.” “Now it’s about the best process, not the best data.” [@jonathanstoop] #BHAFC
