Data Droplets - MD26
Analytics on MD26 and beyond.
Hi 👋
Data Droplets is a periodic short analytics post to help you understand what is happening in the Premier League.
This is a very quick update post. In this post:
Stream
Data Page Updates (scatter plot, projected table, matchweek fixture projections)
GW 26 - 31 Team Goal and Clean Sheet Projections
GW 26 - 31 Player Goal Involvement Projections
1. Stream
Yesterday I did a short 30-minute stream talking about things in more detail. It was a casual introduction to my team strength ratings and a discussion on recent interesting trends (Title/Top4 race, Tottenham, Man United).
Feel free to check it out if that interests you. If people like this, I will try to do more casual streams.
2. Data Page Updates
For those who have not visited the data page in a while, there have been quite a few updates recently:
Player projection lists updated to top-60.
Interactive scatter plot added - you can hover over teams to see additional stats (example shown below).
Live-updating Projected League Table Added (example shown below).
The much-requested matchweek fixture projections have now been added as a live table (example shown below).
3. GW 26 - 31 Team Goal and Clean Sheet Projections
Notes:
Arsenal defensive improvements are showing through on these graphics - top here by a significant margin.
Bournemouth are entering an extremely nice run now - high table numbers even without the Luton double included. Although they have shown great improvements across the board, their high showing in these tables is mostly fixture effect.
Tottenham defensive decline is reflected in these tables now - not a particularly hard run but only 1.3 clean sheets.
4. GW 26 - 31 Player Goal Involvement Projections
Many people are interested in Hwang vs Neto specifically, my numbers on them at the time of writing over the next 6 as follows:
Goals: Hwang (2.21) vs Neto (1.42).
Assists: Neto (1.04) vs Hwang (0.79).
Goals + Assists: Hwang (2.99) vs Neto (2.46).
Thank you for reading to the end! Please do reach out if you want me to gift you access to see the full data page - no commitment is required at all!
Much love ✌️
