Am a huge advocate for this. Haven’t really looked at how this scales for recruitment, but the detail is helpful for pre-match prep and coaches definitely ask for it

Wes Burns has been out for nearly a year and is back amongst the goals for Ipswich away at Coventry. One of my favorite players (and people) I got to work with in football, very proud of him👏👏

Excited for another round of “Is Morgan Roger’s finishing 5 times as efficiently as Lione Messi going to continue indefinitely?” today.

“Tyrell Malacia on for Manchester United”

Cunha has this quirk of being the best I’ve seen at playing the ball off a defender. Running through tackles, running with deflections. It’s a unique style and I wonder if that’s one of the elements that have kept him from being truly elite tier despite it being a positive skill

It may be the holidays but we've still got stuff coming out on the Transfer Flow Patreon. Had a great chat with @hvanbrewer.bsky.social about some of the top players and coaches we've seen so far this season: www.patreon.com/posts/video-...

I calculated a soccer-specific chess rating for 4,400 online games between ~100 players' accounts Top 10: 1. Marten de Roon 2. Yussuf Poulsen 3. Antonee Robinson 4. Stefan de Vrij 5. Borna Sosa 6. Christian Pulisic 7. Michael Olise 8. Kevin Prince Boateng 9. N'Golo Kante 10. Josip Stanisic

Fantastic move by the Galaxy. Think this complicates a move to keep Fagundez but the midfield wasn’t their problem and hasn’t been for the last couple of years. The defense needed work and Glesnes and Haak are great pieces

I’m most intrigued by a player subbing in, getting subbed out for injury, and having his replacement who then subbed in also subbed out for injury. Never seen that before

Fun episode. Premier league season has been awesome so far and we dug into some of the detail today

Quality analysis here and the newsletter is literally FREE. Moe does a great job here, give this a read

Give me any chance to talk about the real detail behind Jeremie Doku and I will take it. YouTube compilation skills and the intelligence to keep elevating his timing with teammates to the next level

New podcast! @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @hvanbrewer.bsky.social talk about: • The race for top 8 in Champions League • Why Xabi Alonso isn't working at Real Madrid • Lille's teenage superstar Ayyoub Bouaddi www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQEF...

Very much enjoying this joint men’s and women’s champions league golazo show @ cbs !!!!

New podcast! @hvanbrewer.bsky.social and @shelatneel.bsky.social talk about: • Salah's interview and recent struggles • What Spurs and Man United need to fix • Messi's dominant MLS season www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sbL...

THAT was the Cherki that was promised. Magician🪄

Relentless pressure from Ipswich. Statement goal there at Portman road

Good morning Aston Villa, good morning Unai Emery 👀

Yan Diomandé has burst onto the scene in 2025, displaying a heavy on-ball skill set that's put defenders in a bind. This week's article for @thetransferflow.bsky.social tries to hypothesize Diomandé's pathway towards future stardom www.thetransferflow.com/p/where-is-y...

Todd Dunivant helped build and maintain a one of the USL's best teams -- Sac Republic never had a negative xGD during his better part of a decade in the front office. Obviously, City Football Group only gives NYCFC's CSO so much autonomy. Still, I really like the hire.

That’s a screamer from Gray but did you notice that they were advertising Birmingham, Alabama at the Birmingham City match? That’s tremendous banter/marketing

Points versus equivalent matches last season and in brackets projected totals if all results going forward match those of 2024-25. +10 Man City (81) +7 Arsenal (81) -6 Liverpool (78) -1 Chelsea (68) -1 Newcastle (65) -3 Aston Villa (63) +4 Tottenham (42) -1 Man Utd (41)

@michaelcaley.bsky.social @themlg.bsky.social in terms of impact to an individual team, how high up do you have Nico Williams for Bilbao? For me, the difference with and without him is so significant

Coventry have been excellent since I’ve been watching

*John to his whole family at Thanksgiving 🦃

Liverpool are under pressure right now. We talk a bit about some of the challenges they face in recruiting a center back and discuss some of the factors they need to consider in getting their best CB signing right

Up a man at home against Everton for 75 minutes, this should have been the Shea Lacey debut

One of the best saves I've ever seen, of an incredible midfield attempt.

If NYCFC win this, the Miami would host the remaining playoffs games they’re in. They fell short of the supporters shield, but those wins heading into the playoffs could prove crucial

Eberechi Eze has scored six goals in his last four Premier League games against Spurs. #ARSTOT

What a day for Eze. That’s got to be a dream come true. I am so happy for him.

You gotta love this moment for Eze. Stuff dreams are made of. What a journey to get here

That Morgan Rogers free kick was magic earlier. Will be so interesting to see if he can hold on to the 10 spot for England over Palmer, Foden, and Bellingham

I know arsenal fans are going to use that Eze celebration for memes. It’s a great finish with his left

Elliot Anderson is emerging as a star this season, providing two-way play in midfield as the lone bright spot for Nottingham Forest. This week's article for @thetransferflow.bsky.social is on Anderson, and the power of being a high-floor central midfielder www.thetransferflow.com/p/elliot-and...

A lot of fun talking to Patrick about players that I adore

Used the article to show off some cool new stuff happening in soccer data. Shout out @hvanbrewer.bsky.social for SkillCorner's off-ball metrics, @alexanderschram.bsky.social for Gradient's physical data and @catabush.com for making this plot from American Soccer Analysis's advanced stats.

Sergio Busquets is old and slow. By next month he'll be retired. So how is he still so central to one of the best teams in MLS? Wrote for The Guardian about trying to measure a famously invisible kind of greatness.

Curaçao 🇨🇼 are the smallest nation to ever qualify for a World Cup, with a population of 155,826. For comparison, here are some larger U.S. cities: • Murfreesboro, TN • Killeen, TX • Surprise, AZ • Shreveport, LA • Sioux Falls, SD • Des Moines, IA Simply incredible!

In 2020-21, Robert Lewandowski had 35% of Bayern Munich's xG, the highest ever mark for a player on a title-winning team in a top 5 league. Erling Haaland currently has 60% of Man City's xG. www.thetransferflow.com/p/manchester...

Substitution: Knutson in for Van Straaten Lot of fun talking with Ted about some of the tight edges in the top 5 leagues. In particular, loved his insight into what it would take for a French team to beat PSG to a Ligue 1 title

A sign of MLS quality growth is the type of UEFA call ups it gets. Here's a comparison of 2019 vs this window by Nations League tier: 2019 League A: 0 League B: 2 League C: 9 League D: 4 Nov 2025 League A: 4 League B: 9 League C: 2 League D: 1* Croatia started two MLS players!

Learning from transfer mistakes is key! These Patreon episodes with a bit more research have been very good discussions

England have found solutions to their problems in the attack (Harry Kane), press resistance in midfield (also Harry Kane), and distribution from center back (yep still Harry Kane)

New podcast! @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @hvanbrewer.bsky.social talk about: • If it's time for Liverpool to move on from Salah • How Xabi Alonso is reshaping Real Madrid • Barca's press struggling without Raphinha • Could PSG actually lose Ligue 1? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlos...
