BIG THREAD OF PREMIER LEAGUE DATA AND VISUALS. An extensive collection of data visuals, statistics and insight that covers the entirety of the Premier League 22/23 season. (1/14)
Teams ranked by total threat creation. Liverpool, Leeds & Chelsea significantly underperforming based on threat created. Forest some way off the rest of the league by this metric, making their survival even more impressive! (2/14)
De Bruyne, TAA & Trippier lead the way by threat created through in-play passes. Mitoma and Grealish lead by threat created through carries. (3/14)
Here's where some of the most threatening passers play their passes from - passes coloured by threat. (4/14)
Players ranked by volume of progressive passes made (passes moving the ball significantly towards opposition goal) Andersen's excellent long ball ability shown, but progressions rarely lead to chances. Trent, De Bruyne & Fernandes excel by progressions leading to a chance (5/14)
Players ranked by volume of box entries per 90. Grealish, De Bruyne and Salah lead by a margin (6/14)
Which player is most threatening from each area of the pitch? Incredible to see Grealish appearing in three high zones! (7/14)
Teams ranked by crossing effectiveness. Spurs very effective, heavily due to the fact that they have Kane to target. Villa and Southampton both look very unlucky to not have scored significantly more goals from in-play crosses (8/14)
Ranking teams by threat generated from passes between full backs. The Trent > Robbo pass is extremely clear, but Spurs and Newcastle's full back combinations have been more threatening. Shorter passes by Man City as full backs invert. (9/14)
Onto defensive qualities, ranking teams by the mean height up the pitch that they win the ball. Man City win it highest up the pitch, and no surprise to see Arsenal and Brighton just behind. (10/14)
Wolves and Newcastle are the most effective teams in terms of defending set pieces, conceding least chances from indirect set pieces. An area of improvement for Man Utd and Arsenal (11/14)
A view of defensive contribution by player, showing top players by recoveries and direct ball wins. Rodri levels ahead by direct ball wins. Joelinton and Casemiro lead by recoveries (12/14)
Arsenal duo, Jesus and Saka, completed defensive actions in the opposition third most frequently (adjusted for opportunity) (13/14)
