Issue #2 of my newsletter, Good Moves — a newsletter about chess and what it can teach us about performance in other things, too! — is now out. Inside: how do we decide what to do when we don't know what to do? And will I lose to another child? Find out! makegoodmoves.substack.com/p…

And as stated before, I'd be quite open to working within a club or consultancy when it comes to scouting for recruitment in football. I'd like to think that I'd be an asset given my portfolio of written/video work in the public sphere since the mid 2010s xitter.cf/MoeSquare/status/18378…

Hi,
Never really done this before, but I'd like to put it out there that I'm open to working in any capacity for a club or consultancy in terms of recruitment. I've been doing public player analysis for 8-ish years (both present and historical), including now on YouTube

I read ten books about how data has changed football, and was left with one question: has data actually changed football?

After 3 matchdays and, like, 1,400 minor personnel moves, @rwohan and I re-ranked the Premier League. Liverpool hops Arsenal, Brighton's awesome, Newcastle is all smoke and mirrors, and ... gross, Everton.

Man United piling up xG at 0-3? @TonyElHabr has already looked into this. Shots and goals when the goal difference is more than 1 don’t strongly predict how teams will perform for the rest of the season. In other words, they’re less meaningful than in closer GD states

From yesterday: the fifth video for @Footy_Insights_ is on Kobbie Mainoo. The hype around him seems to grow with every game, so I tried to figure out just how good he is right now and his road to future stardom

Net Gains by @rwohan explores how data is transforming football in same way it revolutionised baseball.
That might sound like a story you’ve heard before, but this book goes way deeper.
Want to know why I think you should read this? Here you go…

NEW YEAR, NEW RANKINGS. The Premier League season starts tomorrow, and @rwohan and I once again ranked everyone, 1-20. (Read it now before 117 new signings render it outdated!)

What makes a champion? New analysis of over 6,000 athletes finds those who got to world-class, had during their youth:
-more multisport than specialized practice
-started their main sport later
-accumulated less practice
-Initially progressed slower than national class peers

Credit to Versus here for mentioning the transphobia as well as the racism.
Not naming any names but the number of outlets completely ignoring it... well, you notice things.

Although most football fans are understandably focused on the Euros, the transfer market remains important, especially as a few clubs will still be scrambling to sell players to comply with the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).

For U.S. players, is it better to start in MLS or ride the bench in Europe? ESPN colleague @rwohan and I delve into the particulars of that age-old question, one that some current #usmnt players are facing.
