Today I’m redirecting you to a blog post I found interesting regarding soccer. More specifically, regarding expected shots from a team.
This is a nice a post covering some definitions, modeling, a good story telling and nice and clear visualizations.
I find it like a good example of analytics being useful technically and in terms of knowledge sharing.
I hope you enjoy it!
Let me ask you a question.
Have you ever felt that your team was taking a few shots? Your team has the ball, the part of the heat map that shows the opponent’s half is red, there are a lot of passes left and right in the final third, they make relatively a lot of crosses, there are a lot of touches inside the penalty area, there are a lot of corners and set-pieces, but not what?
No shots. There are, but only a few.
Shouldn’t there be a benchmark for this?
We had 20 shots! Wow, that’s a lot (is it?).
That’s exactly what I thought about and decided to do in this study.
Let’s have a better 2024
Happy 2024 to all of you!
I want to help you more this year, doubling efforts on the site and the outcome for you.
I want to hear your thoughts, what do you think is missing, how can I help you more. Would you spend a few minutes to share your opinion and help me help you with an only 7 questions survey?
Honest feedback even if it’s harsh please. The only way to make this better is listening to you.
Also, a huge THANK YOU for all of you for having subscribed. This is a one man army trying to get you the best experience to get your dream job in sports. This is the job board I would have loved to find a few years ago.
Don’t hesitate to reach out or submit feedback if you have ideas for improvement.
