We have a loaded lineup this year that includes @lvanden.bsky.social, @jperline.bsky.social, Gerard Cuenca (UEFA), Peter Tea (Sportlogiq), Dee Kundra (Bayern), Martha Reyna (Statsbomb), and many more! isac.baquora.app/conference/s...

I do think defining a single league strength value to order is tricky, and probably needs breaking down into various metrics E.g. English Champ is ranked 6th by "average" rating which is probably too high. That's more due to the depth of the league as it drops to 13th using top 5 team quality (2/2)

I wrote a lil post on the amazing work that @ginareynolds.bsky.social does championing ggplot2 extension developers and teaching others to build their own! The post features the Scrollytelling Quarto extension and the group's cute #RStats hex 🐱: rworks.dev/posts/ggplot...

Liverpool 541 oop at home to Palace was unique in many ways. The last time Liverpool started a match not in a back 4 at Anfield was Brendan Rodgers' last home game in charge (October 1st 2015). afaik #lfc

Glasner yesterday. Slot goes 541 oop from the off at home, in what is damage limitation mode.

Larnaca beat Palace 541 so Slot figured it's worth a shot under these conditions 😅

I'm much more used to Salah showing up on charts as the other kind of outlier this is... quite something

Updated from last weekend/ gameweek 9. 😬

Big fan of the match event illustrations from the Almanacco Illustrato Del Calcio 1984. Romania v Italy 1983.

Can you spot the difference? If you've wondered how to get those pretty previews when you share your Quarto websites on social, you need to enable `open-graph`. Docs: quarto.org/docs/website...

I'll be running a free, online workshop at @rinpharma.bsky.social on Nov 3rd! If you've never built an #RStats package before, or if you want to learn some tips to make better packages, come along to build a package together! 📦 ⏰ 10am EST / 3pm GMT #RPharma

IMPECT released a season of public event data! ⚽ There’s already plenty of event data out there — so why care? Because IMPECT’s data adds some really cool and unique features, such as their Packing Zones. And with the new kloppy v3.18 release, it's really easy to get started with this dataset.

TOMORROW! Join me on the #DSHangout with @tanho.ca to chat all about... whatever you want! Great topics: R in Production, sports analytics, open source dev work, and pumpkin carving 🎃 ❤️ I plan on asking about my fave: working out loud! You can go to pos.it/dsh to register! #databs #rstats #python

When's the last time Salah was on the bench for consecutive CL games (if ever)? Format change and all that jazz of course too #lfc

I'm fascinated with how the 24/25 PL POTY currently finds himself near the bottom 2.5%~ for these actions, whilst also being the closest to reaching a whole -2 standard deviations on both measures.

Don't trust a bed with a monthly subscription plan. www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

What's up with Mo Salah? Again, really concerning trend finding himself on the wrong side of the extreme values so far this season...Bad outlier territory.

The recording is now available so that you can confirm that I indeed have a German accent and color-match my outfits with my Zoom background. youtu.be/YL0co26ng-g?...

When comparing change from last season ground duel won % + excl. players who have changed team/league in that time (adaptation variance?), Salah has the 2nd largest negative diff (-1.9 SD❗) after Hudson-Odoi (onto his 3rd manager of the season). With all attacking players incl., he's still bottom 5.

this was his last presser at Everton #nffc

A very strange outlier. The only players that go below -2 SD are Barry, Brunn Larsen and Fullkrug (under 400 mins). No one else is under -1.5 SD. Strand Larsen & Mitoma (-1.4~), 2 players known to have recent injury issues. No other wide fwd/winger goes under -1 SD. Is Salah playing through injury ?

On the topic of duels, fixture congestion, rotation, injuries...Interesting to revisit an article from Feb. 2024 during Arne Slot's time at Feyenoord. 🤔

Could be early season variance but not a great trend. Last season Salah had around a 41%~ ground duel won rate. So far this season it's 21%~. 😬

Quarto has a way to collapse code, but what if you want to collapse code OUTPUT? The amazing @mickael.canouil.fr created an extension that does just that!!! Check it out! github.com/mcanouil/qua...
