It’s not quite the half-way point but the New Year seems like a good time to see where each Premier League team are up to in this weird and turbulent season. And who better to hear it from than the fans themselves. We’ve compiled some great voices on each Premier League team to run through […]
INTRO Blog number 3 in the “finding the next…” series and it is the guy. The guy I have had the most requests and messages about writing a blog on. And with his recent injury, it seems even more pertinent to attempt to find the next… Virgil Van Dijk. If you haven’t read the previous […]
INTRO If you haven’t read my previous blog (https://analysisid.com/finding-the-next-jack-grealish/), I recently introduced a simple 3 step approach to recruitment. The idea is: you decide the type of player you want, use a machine learning model to highlight players who are stylistically similar from a statistical point of view, use another data tool to see which […]

Or at least these more sensible people are quieter on Twitter. He’s massively […]
A dive into the video to see what the young Frenchman can bring to Arsenal INTRO I wrote recently about Arsenal’s struggles when it comes to the recruitment of Centre Backs (Part 1 here & Part 2 here). There seemed to be a turning point post the departure of Sol Cambell in 2006, where Arsenal […]
Filling the gaps in data analysis with traditional/video scouting INTRO I wrote recently about the search for Arsenal’s next Centre Back using data (check it out here: Click Me). I will refer to that quite a lot in this piece, so probably worth a read in advance. Naturally part 2 of this process, and what […]
A dive into the data to see if we can highlight some interesting CB options for further scouting. ————————————– INTRO “Arsenal need better defenders” feels like a phrase that has been around since the dawn of time.
