I created an all-in-one football player metric that tries to estimate a player's impact on winning. It's called CPM and takes inspiration from advanced basketball metrics. Explainer: docs.google.com/document/d/1BP…

@MoeSquare Yes! Redesigned it to be faster and simpler to calculate. I've also been experimenting with team-adjusted stats and find that it generally makes the ratings more stable when transferring teams.

@Edvin_TH I'm guessing you redid your model?

The Estimated Impact web app is now updated to include the weekend's matches. Check it out if you want player ratings in the big 5 leagues since 17/18: etranhoac.shinyapps.io/estimated_impa…

@Stat_Ron What are your thoughts on possible solutions? I've noticed (for soccer at least) that tuned ridge lambdas can be quite volatile. The magnitude of the ratings can vary a lot across seasons. Not ideal when you want to look at the ratings over time.

Here's what happens if you blindly use ridge regression (w/ tuning) on #NFL player participation data courtesy of #nflreadr and extract QB coefficients, where model is pbp epa ~ designed play type + player indicators where OFF is 1 & DEF is -1 (clear issues below I'm ignoring)

@MoeSquare The model is updated with the new FBref data now, btw. Think we briefly talked about that before.

We've reached the final profile for the Golden Boys of Yesteryear series, and it's on Kylian Mbappé. I looked at: - Electric combo of on/off-ball threat - Growth as a playmaker - Absurd statistical resume - Arguably the best modern U21 attacker ever moesquare.medium.com/golden-boys-of…

@DrMukherjeeS Fair enough. So you’d want it to be less cold but still pretty cold? Or would you want it to be hot?

@Edvin_TH Water needs to be at a temperature which doesn't freeze the mouth Why drink cold water when the weather itself is so so cold I tried to drink water & walk around Gamla Stan yesterday. It felt like a torture to my mouth 😂

Why is it so difficult to get normal temperature water in #Stockholm?? In hotels, it's ice water. In shops, bottles are always in cooler I can understand in summer but in winter?? It's -3°C outside for Gods sake 🥶 Please keep some water bottles outside of cold storage

@MoeSquare Fully agree with this. Although I'm skeptical he will ever reach the level of peak Messi. Not impossible though.

#WCFantasy Final Update OR: 2929 OP: 445 I was privileged to not only see the 🐐 do 🐐 things in the final, but also to see the overwhelming response to the initiative undertaken by @elevenify & I. Over 15k views in a month, 100s of downloads per week are stratospheric numbers!

@6yardscreamers @StevenMarcScott Thanks Christina! I've previously had problems with England and other footballing nations without an ISO code but I'm so happy this seems to work.

@BeGriffis Yeah I agree. The WC is obviously huge and the ultimate dream for any footballer. But what do you think, personally? Not what the general public will think. Bc to me, my GOAT list looks exactly the same as it would’ve done if France won the PKs. Probably an unpopular opinion.

@Edvin_TH Yep spot on. He stays the exact same player but has a different aura almost. It’s very strange but it just goes to show the weight put on this single trophy lol. He’s no different than yesterday

@BeGriffis Sure. I think people focus way too much on it, though. Messi is not a “better” or “worse” player than he was yesterday bc of this match, and neither is Mbappé. Greater? Yes, in the eyes of the public. To me? Barely. I’m just happy Messi won it so people can shut up about it.

It’s so crazy though that a single game can change the status of a player. One game. But it does, really… it changes so much so quickly even the best player in history can get elevated that one step more The beautiful game
