Romain Faivre’s evolved role as a centrally-positioned playmaker is noteworthy. He recorded 2 Assists, 4 Shot Creating Actions and 2 Goal Creations against PSG yesterday. 

#Faivre #Brest #Ligue1 #FootballAnalytics #DataAnalytics Image
Faivre is an excellent progressor of the ball. He switched between LM and RM last season, and thrived by making penetrating carries into the final third. His ability to break lines in combination with a strong defensive output will make him an exciting number 10 for Brest.
His biggest strengths lie in ball carrying & shot creating actions, especially through dead balls. His shooting could be improved. Moreover his new role as an AM could certainly add more carries & passes into the penalty area.

Faivre is a creative threat going forward in different phases of play. In addition to being a reliable carrier of the ball, he averages a healthy 2 key passes/90. Faivre is also a set-piece specialist, adding another dimension to his game.

The French youngster outputted above average defensive actions compared to midfielders in Ligue 1 last season. Moreover, he has an efficient pressure success rate of 33.1%. Faivre might be given the license to apply his work rate higher up the pitch this season. ImageImage
Faivre's multifaceted profile shares a radar mould with the likes of  Raphinha and @LorePelle7

Pellegrini has higher GCAs from dead balls whereas Faivre outperforms the Roma star defensively.

In terms of style of ball progression, Raphinha outputs higher for passing metrics as opposed to Faivre, who outputs high for carries.

Against PSG, 97% of Faivre's possession value (xgChain-xGbuildup/xGbuildup*100) was involved in the final phase of his team’s possession chain. If he sustains his form, then he could be one of Ligue 1’s more exciting # 10s this season.

Pape Matar Sarr is a young, versatile Senegalese midfielder playing for FC Metz. Interestingly, he’s from the same academy that produced the likes of Sadio Mane, Ismaila Sarr & Papiss Cisse. He played most of his games as a DM, but featured at CM too.
#Sarr #Metz #Spurs #THFC
From the footage, we see his biggest strengths are his ball-carrying & defensive abilities.He also likes taking many shots, averaging 1.75 per game [92nd percentile], out of which 0.48 are on target[84th percentile].This allowed him to score 3 goals, outperforming his xG by 2.21.
Sarr’s most touches unsurprisingly come in the mid-third area of the field. From these heat maps, we can see Sarr loves pushing up forward as well, suggesting he’s more box to box. We can also see he usually plays on the left side.

Nathaniel Phillips Thread :

@LFC's injury crisis last season led to Jurgen Klopp trying as many as 19 different centre-back combinations. Eventually, Nat Phillips stepped up putting in a valiant shift, helping them secure a CL spot.
#NatPhillips #LFC #Liverpool #EPL #DataViz
Phillips’ no-nonsense approach to centre-back for this Klopp team saw him record a surprisingly well-balanced output. He was exceptional in the air and was an effective distributor of the ball too.
#Phillips #LFC #EPL
Phillips averages 8.81 clearances & 6.05 areal duels, ranking him the highest for these metrics in Europe’s top 5 leagues.
He wins very few tackles & gets dribbled past often. This could mean he doesn’t lunge into challenges, however, 1.62 fouls committed per game contradicts it
