Goal-creating actions per 90 minutes played is a key statistic in objectively evaluating players. Check out my visual showcasing La Liga players born in 1999 or later (24 or younger) comparing their GCA/90 minutes played to their market value. My thoughts below 👇#LaLigaSantander
1. Objective data in this table proves why high-value players deserve their worth. They consistently produce the most.
2. We may be able to find hidden gems in young players with this table. High numbers in GCAs/90 suggest even greater potential with better squad support.
Huge #CopaDelRey matchup tomorrow between #RealSociedad and #Barcelona. In this thread, I will preview this matchup and give guidance on some key areas to look out for in the match.
Key area #1. Real Sociedad's midfield diamond vs Barcelona's inverted triangle. Will Xavi find a solution to Sociedad's +1 advantage in midfield? #CopaDelRey#barcelonavssociedad#midfieldbattle
If I overlay their formations on top of each other. We can see the +1 numerical advantage. If you were Xavi, what would you do to solve this? Drop Lewandoski on Zubimendi and allow the Center backs to have it? have a fullback mark one of the midfielders on the weak side?
