MLS Power Rankings for 5/18: www.soccerdatavizer.com/power-rankings

Sometimes, club colors are too close to each other - you can use the color pickers to give reports more contrast and make them easier to read! Find them on each of the Match Reports and on the Match Recaps screen.

Reload the site and you'll see some big changes - a new Players page, where the CCT g+ and xG cards now live, along with a whole bunch more player data. The Rosters page links to the Players page, and the Data page has been renamed Clubs & Leagues to specify what it covers.

We've added the "copy link" button to almost everything on the site - pages, reports, player and team cards, etc. When you just want to link to it and not download a png, you can. Reload and you'll find them next to the download/share buttons.

The MLSPA spring salary guide is out, and I've built a full dashboard breaking down club and player spending. • Lionel Messi alone makes more than 28 clubs • Vancouver spend 43% of their roster on TAM players, roughly the Union's total budget • Sporting KC and Seattle have zero U22s

Added the Starters vs. Subs Effectiveness report to the Data page, measuring the difference between what each club is getting from their starters vs their subs. www.soccerdatavizer.com/data?chart=s...

Our new Lineup Variance report shows how stable club's lineups have been this season and how it has (or hasn't) translated to winning. www.soccerdatavizer.com/data?chart=l...

Large update today, as we've upgraded the side menu Player Search to a global Explore - search players, clubs, stats, reports, anything and everything. We'll be refining and tweaking it as time goes on to become even more responsive. Reload and give it a try!

We've added a new Match g+ report in the Match Reports page. Here's a completely, totally random match as an example which was picked for no reason at all.

We've made a change to the way we present match-specific information - the Match Reports are now "Match Recaps" and the match-specific reports from the Data page have been given their own page, now called Match Reports. They've both been grouped into the new Match Info section on the sidebar menu.

Added the "Form - Last 5 Matches" button to the player cards on the roster page. Click the trending up button to the right of the player's name to see it.

Reload the site and you'll see the new player search on the side menu - picking a player jumps you to that club and player card. Speaking of player cards, g+ and xg cards will now save their history every Monday morning, so you can see how a player's ranks adjust during the year.

New report added: xPass by Field Third - you can easily see what clubs excel in passing in the defensive, mid, and attacking sections of the field.

We've added a strength of schedule report to the data page, which will adjust after each matchday tracking past and future opponents.

You can now flip between clubs on the data page for all club level viz/reports without changing your "global" club in the menu. Also, we moved the manager history to the overview page and added the new pressing vs outcome report.

We've added a new Substitution Timeline report, not that it's aimed at any specific club or anything.

So we're in the process of backfilling some missing players, so you should see the complete rosters for every club today, despite the official MLS website denying the existence of a number of players, including 12(!!) from the Rapids alone.

We removed the club-level shot profile report and overhauled the league-level Shots Profile by Pattern report to make it easier to see how your club stacks up. Want the raw data? Click the table button to see it.

Usability improvement this morning, as we added the ability to search the club selector by name or abbreviation and the ability to favorite a club so it stays at the top of the list. Less scrolling=good.

Clicking a player on the scouting, next match, and leaders pages to bring up their player stats card now has a "Jump to" button that jumps you to their team and player card. Reload to see it.

I debut the Minutes Budget at lunchtime, and before you take your afternoon smoke break, it’s available @soccerdatavizer.com for all to use. soccerdatavizer.com

Quick tip while using the site - refresh/reload frequently - as we are in active development, we are pushing out tweaks, bug fixes, etc VERY frequently. To ensure you have the most recent updates, refresh your page occasionally.

New feature on the Roster page - player comps. Quickly get an overview of comparable players based on several metrics and an overall evaluation of which comp players are performing better or worse.

2 new reports today on the data page - Goals for vs xG/xGA by club and Goals for vs xG/xGA for the entire league.

"But how can I share this to show how well/average/poorly my team played?" - fear not, as the share button on mobile now enables you to share the single match's full shot map (and your happiness/apathy/frustration) as a gif directly to your favorite social media platform.

We've added a Replay feature to the Shot Maps available on our Data page, enabling you to see the shots as they happened over the course of a match. Want specifics about a particular shot? Click or tap the shot/goal marker to get more info.

Miami - Orlando was certainly something yesterday.

Added mobile share buttons across the app. Hope this makes sharing easier!

Added a comparison button to the scouting page, so now you can feel better (or worse) about how your team matches up against any other club in the league.

Caught a bug that was preventing some of the CCT Player g+ card sections from showing - it's been restored to full glory.

As we're updating stuff frequently, be sure to refresh the site once in a while to catch any updates we push out. Notable items will go in the changelog but small fixes to things like layouts and graphics here and there are getting pushed all the time.

Thanks to some excellent suggestions from @mattdoyle.bsky.social, the new Shot Map report on the data page includes the ability to select multiple games, 1H/2H/Full Match, game state, minutes, and individual player shots. Check it out on the data page.
