new tableau drop??
This is still a little experimental, but I created a dashboard for viewing NWSL player-level g+ broken down and standardized by game-state. Resulting metric is "g+ above average per 32 mins IGS (in game-state)". Let me know what you think!

the fact that many NWSL clubs don’t seem to have even considered this graph and it’s underlying concepts is rough

playing Kaptein really high up to support ABJ and the wingers in the press is paying dividends for chelsea rn. so many players in and around the box and West Ham can’t pick them all up or play out of the press #wsl-live

i actually hate this rule so much but this is also really funny lmao
Hugo Ekitike scores for Liverpool to give them a late lead against Southampton.
And, in sheer joy, he celebrates by taking his shirt off — and gets a second yellow card.

Arsenal really have to win games like this if they want to win the WSL, because you know Chelsea would find a way and that’s the standard rn

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have learned their opponents for the 2025-26 Women’s Champions League league phase.
And, yes — Chelsea will play Barcelona again.

difficult to overstate how hard Cata has worked on this. unbelievable resource for 0 cost. couldn’t be more proud of her 🫶🏻
Over the last 5 months, I've been working on building an app that allows *everyone* to generate data visualizations using ASA data. From match-level action plots to season-long radar charts, VizHub lets you download tons of different graphics with ease.
It's 100% free and public, too. Enjoy!

Love the ASA data but wish you had a helping hand in turning it into fancy plots and graphics?

Brann 1 - United 0. *insert joke about those missing boots being the shooting ones*
A Manchester United spokesperson confirmed to the Guardian: "A bag containing some of our players’ boots went missing during the journey to Bergen. We are investigating how this happened. In the meantime, we have secured new boots for all the affected players, and they are ready as normal." #MUwomen
