New Player Dashboard for today, and it's the one Leeds United missed out on: Rodrigo de Paul.

He generally operates on the right side of a midfield 3, occupying the right-half space and looking to impact the game in the final third.
He's also adept at progressing the ball from
deeper positions, with his direct running and range of passing, and doesn't mind taking on shots from distance.
He's been linked to Inter recently, in a move that wouldn't be undeserved. He can't really stay under the radar much longer.

But essentially, the concept is that a pivot pass is one that changes the direction of play
significantly. I've defined it as one that the passer moves at a deviation of 60° from the pass they received, and it needs to be 10+ yards long to qualify (both arbitrary measurements atm). I've also excluded passes made from the flanks (a quarter of the pitch from either side)
as almost every pass made from there would be classed as a pivot pass.
Here's an example of what I'd call a pivot pass (0:13 in the vid)
Basically, a lot of these types of passes would be classed as sideways/non-progressive/not very valuable. But because

these types of passes can often help in pulling the opposition defence from one side to the other, or open up different angles, or help a player draw the press an vacate space, their importance can go unnoticed.

As it's still a bit of a new concept and probably still needs a
LOT of work, I'd love to get some input if anyone has any (tactical/viz-wise).
