Looking at the Portuguese strikers currently playing in Europe (the top 5 leagues as well as Liga Portugal) to compare them against each other, on top of a comparison between all the other forwards in these leagues.
Pt.3 - Percentile rank vs Forwards with more than 700 minutes played in top 5 leagues + Liga Portugal
New visualisation:
Unweighted Z-number for Ball Winning Midfielders:

- Out of the top 15, only 4 players are older than 25, even if the top player on the list was one of the 4
Team’s Defensive Performance:
Best teams per league:
Eredivisie: Feyenoord (Pt1) Go Ahead Eagles (Pt2)
Liga Portugal: Sporting (Pt1) Porto (Pt2)
Pro League: Brugge (Pt1) Mechelen (Pt2)
Süper Lig: Fenerbahce (Pt1) Basaksehir (Pt2)

Braga Corners Routine:
1️⃣ - Most players close to the 6-yard box creating space at the edge of the box
2️⃣ - Creating movement to draw defenders
3️⃣ - Not forcing the shot
4️⃣ - Corner delivery swinging outwardly when it comes straight to the edge of the box to facilitate shot
