In this weeks @iDiskiTimes article I wrote about positions as a tool in player development. I give and discuss a practical example of a multi directional practice in a circular field and go into detail of why this can be useful in developing well rounded multi faceted footballers

First blog post in a while.

Tracking data research probably wasn’t worth it until recently. And some unexpected utility of the Hungarian algorithm.

Guardiola's influence is so deep it has become a competitive advantage in England as other clubs appoint pencil sketch imitations of the old master. This is not the case in Europe. It shows at times

I went to Wycombe Wanderers, where a Georgian-Kazakh tech billionaire is aiming to defy preconceptions by rebuilding a football club from the bottom up.

This is going to be a fascinating story to follow (even before the manager leaves).

I wrote about a simple metric to measure the strength of the connection between players on the pitch together. It help up surprisingly well under the microscope, and can provide at-a-glance information about how teams are constructed, as well as how they develop over time.

Jadon Sancho has four assists in the Premier League this season following his brilliant run and pass for Cole Palmer's opener today.

That's already more than he ever managed in a single PL campaign for Manchester United.
