Another tactico against the Ugarte signing tells me he is going to be a success

Thank you to everyone who made the last 4 years of doing this so fun. Unless something changes, I think this is the end of the road.

Another (too early) look at PL Attack Efficiency -Palace far better than the rest, City not far behind -Arsenal and Spurs taken a dip since MW 2 -Everton starting strong -Bmouth high on quantity but not quality -Forest joins Villa at bottom of the pack

Once again, given the small samples these are of course subject to change very quickly. Be careful when making long term inferences with this data. There have been many drastic changes in this data since the previous version which was done after MW2.

A far too early look at PL Shot Efficiency - Arsenal and Tottenham spotless so far - City, Chelsea, & B'mouth just behind - Burnley showing some promising figures - Villa, Wolves, Sunderland, & West Ham w/ slow starts - 3-0 may have been a flattering score for Sunderland on MD1

With such small sample sizes,context for each game is even more crucial. LFC and B'mouth both have good results here but it's important to note each of them have had an opponent sent off. LFC had a 1 man advantage for 57 mins vs Newcastle. B'mouth had one for 47 mins vs Wolves

Data behind the new CBIT scoring for FPL: -10+ CBITR by DFS = +2 pts -Adds value to CBs -Attacking FBs not likely to get these pts but still threats going forward

Data behind the new CBITR scoring for FPL: -12+ CBITR by FWDS or MIDS = +2 pts -Adds value to DMs -Bruno can do that and create attacking output (maybe Ouattara too) -Possible bias towards high intensity teams

Now that Mbeumo is done, a reminder: United have signed the top 2 NPxG performers who both like to walk around. Lack of fatigue from sprinting throughout the match helps them finish above average. It’ll be interesting to see how United use this to their advantage.
