Shakhtar Donetsk have an incredible track record with their signings from Brazil, but as market dynamics continue to shift, might they need to start exploring alternative markets? I dug into the question for @analyticsfc.bsky.social: analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2025/06...

I don’t get to write as much as I used to but here’s a piece that uses scouting theory to ask whether England aren’t getting Jude wrong For @analyticsfc.bsky.social analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2025/06...

Is England's obsession with a certain kind of player causing them to misuse Jude Bellingham? @afhstewart.bsky.social used scouting theory to investigate portability, usage, and what happens when you make Jude 'the man' analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2025/06...

I looked into the relationship between the English Championship and Belgian Pro League for a recent Pathways feature for @analyticsfc.bsky.social. In the process, I found some interesting payroll data from Capology that really highlights the financial disparity between the two leagues:

In a new piece for the blog, @shelatneel.bsky.social asks whether Shakhtar Donetsk should continue their focus on Brazil or whether a changing market should mean changing approach? analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2025/06...

The Belgian Pro League has grown as a popular market for English Championship clubs in recent years for various reasons. I examined this pathway and the trends surrounding it in my latest feature for @analyticsfc.bsky.social: analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2025/06...

England's Championship is a power-buyer from many leagues. But are their clubs getting the most from Belgian's top tier? @shelatneel.bsky.social investigates analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2025/06...

Gillingham Football Club, the League Two club, has become the latest team to sign up to Analytics FC’s market-leading scouting platform, TransferLab. analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2025/05...

Trent Alexander-Arnold's skillset is so niche and rare that those who possess even close to it play in the game’s rumpled edges, names unlikely to salivate the mouths of Liverpool fans, just yet. But transfer experts @analyticsfc.bsky.social have found some 👇

We jumped on TransferLab and used our bespoke profile creation tool to find some Trent replacements. You can't really replace a unicorn, but with a combination of metrics and quality thresholds, you can find similar skillsets. Great piece by @samcunningham.bsky.social and really fun to work on

After Harry Maguire's marvellous attacking moment last night, we thought it would be fun to look at centre-backs who do un-CB-type things.

Press-resistant midfielders are among the game's most prized assets so we used TransferLab Emerge to find the next generation of talent. TransferLab Emerge brings 33 new youth leagues and 15,000 players to our advanced scouting platform. analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2025/04...
