The College Dropout Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Opta have cut ties with fbref. Most of the good stats came via Opta on fbref. Big blow for desktop scouting that. Good bye ball progression stat! 😔 Edited January 21 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 It was really good for sorting narrative and fact. It was largely the fbref data where it was obvious Pope would be a massive upgrade on Dubs. He beat Dubs on so many key metrics - save percentage, xgc delta, claiming crosses, and distance of defensive actions. Didn't include the pass stats but immediately - I knew Pope's strengths vs Dubs and it was night and day. It is a bit more difficult with out field players and things are more team-dependent. But still useful. Elanga over performed all of his expected data last year iirc. Not great 1v1 stats etc. But still good expected assist data but not brilliant. Fbref was the last free data point for football. Opta site is useles. Statsbomb is paywalled and super expensive. You can gleam some stuff from whoscored and footbmob(?) but not as good as fbref.

A major blow for the N-O Society of Stat Nonces & Virgins. Will they ever recover from such devastating news ? Anything that reduces the Football Stat Twat Dunning-Kreuger effect and minimises the double-burden of incompetence, is a good thing in my book.

The question you should ask yourself, as you take a long hard look in the mirror, is “why do Ramsdale’s stats matter to me so much, how come my life is so unfulfilled?” Then rail a massive line of bugle off the mirror and go out and have real fun with real people in real nite spots.
