"For the first time, Nashville have three MLS-proven DPs. They have a striker who can compete for the Golden Boot, a midfielder who can win MVP, and a winger who can put up double-digit assists. Very few teams in MLS history have had a trio like that."

How many MLS only goal contributions do you think Nashville’s DP trio will be responsible for assuming all 3 stay healthy
Last year they had 29, 28, 15. 60 feels like the expectation. 65 on the high end
That’s terrifying lol

More on Kealey Adamson:
-Moved to QPR in the summer for 300k
-Debuted for the Aussie u23s last March
-It looks like he's mostly been playing with QPRs u23 team
-Same agent as Yazbek
He seems like a player who took too big a step too quickly and is now looking for minutes in MLS

Not bad. A solid A-League player. Looks like a decent defender and unpolished attacker
Good defensive duel win rate
He wasnt asked to carry the ball forward for MacArthur, but his dribble success rate is solid

According to West London Sport NSC is interested in 22 year old QPR right back Kealey Adamson
The Aussie put up 3g and 2a in 30 appearances in the A League last year before moving to QPR where he’s struggled for playing time
NSC needs a reliable backup for Najar

Nashville has $1.1m in salary committed to backup CBs, a desperate need for a starting caliber midfielder, and not a lot of GAM to solve that need
It feels like something has to give there

This harms the football data ecosystem more broadly too. Most people who start in football data aren’t buying raw data, they’re experimenting with freely available stuff (h/t Statsbomb for leading the way) and that’s how they become analysts etc on the pro side later.

Losing FBref is going to only further hamper independent soccer media (and industry media too!) because no one can afford a Wyscout or StatsBomb account on a newsletter/blog/podcast salary.

Some interesting takeaways from last years preseason matches
1. Joe Willis started every game
->starting keeper all year
2. Maher started 4/6, Zim 4/6, Palacios 1/6
->Maher+Zim was the preferred duo to start the season
3. Games 3 and 4 were the closest to a first choice lineup

This is the reason I'm most excited for Espinoza
I highlighted the two main target areas for Espi's Key Passes last season
Who likes to drift to the left and score goals on his right foot? Sam Surridge
Who likes to charge down the right and score? Hany Mukhtar

I just tweeted this last night.
Cristian Espinoza is a great way to replace Brugman's chance creation
Nashville will still need a midfielder who can bring the ball into the final 3rd. But I think this is where Corcoran may come in

A reliable, proven player in MLS who can create for Mukhtar and Surridge and bag a couple himself
He plays on the wing but he also tucks in and can run through the middle. Which is needed in Nashville’s 4222

We need to spend more time talking about Gaston Brugman's replacement.
He played 1,200 min for NSC and was one of the best in the league at getting the ball into the box and into the final 3rd on a per-90 basis.
Corcoran should help but we need a big signing here too

Here’s his radar from this year, with much fewer minutes, which causes higher variation in the bars.
A lot of the same, but he hasn’t been as good creatively, and finishing is a touch worse. No real worries considering the small sample size.

Warren Madrigal, you have my attention
Good ball carrier, gets shots on target, works to get touches in the box, and a smart passer too
He didn’t have many Key Passes, but .26 xA/KP is ridiculous. No glaring weaknesses here
My only question is why isn’t he still with Valencia?
