William Saliba (23) lost possession less than any other outfield player in the first half against the Netherlands. He lost the ball just once playing at left centre-back.⚽️ ( @Squawka )

Estêvão: Goal Contributions Starting off with a layup. Estêvão is 15th in npxG/90, and by far and away the best in terms of xAG/90. His 0.315 xAG/90 is 20th out of all 1,898 players with 900+ minutes in the Série A since 2019, regardless of age. (3/9) #Brazil #CFC

This season, there were 30 center backs in Europe's top 5 leagues that started the season under the age of 22 and played at least 1,350 league minutes. Starting today, and for the next 30 days, I will be posting a quick analysis on each, replying to this tweet to make a large

You'll be hard-pressed to find a midfielder in La Liga with a stronger combination of duel winning and progressive passing than Valencia's Pepelu 🦇 🧵 on his analytical profile👇 #OsasunaValencia | #vcf | #LaLiga

Raphinha is still the most under-appreciated player on Barcelona, in La Liga, and possibly in all of Europe. He is so far clear of the rest of La Liga (outfield players with 900+ minutes) in chance creation per 90 statistics. (1/3) #FCB | #Barca | #FCBarcelona | #LaLiga

To illustrate just how good Villa's pair have been, I compared them to some of the most high profile duos in the Premier League. In the simplest terms: Watkins and Bailey have been among the most potent duos in the Premier League. They are second only to Nunez and Salah in goal

If the Premier League had an American style Most Valuable Player instead of Player of The Year... Ollie Watkins would be the runaway winner. He's accounted for 28% of Aston Villa's non-penalty goals + assists; the highest contribution in the league. #AVFC #PremierLeague

Exequiel Palacios now has two assists in his past two games after missing over a month with injury. Tonight: - 62 mins - 1 assist (game winner) - 3 chances created (2 big) - 62/68 passing - 6/8 duels won Genuinely a top 3 midfielder in Europe and nobody is talking about him.

In fact, Raphinha's 7.51 Shot Creating Actions Per 90 rank as the highest in La Liga since the '18/19 campaign when #Messi had 8.06 Which also means he has a higher SCA/90 than Messi did in '19/20 and '20/21. #FCBarcelona | #Barca | #FCB | #LaLiga

I’ve been indifferent to and even critical of Martin Zubimendi, mostly because he doesn’t pop analytically. But he was excellent today. 5/5 duels won, and didn’t put a foot wrong. Spain hardly skipped a beat when he came in for Rodri at half. I need to evaluate him further.
