CCSG By The Numbers: An Introduction to Statistics (2024 Remastered)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Due to a website migration, and further updates in my methodology, it was necessary to rewrite the article I penned in the winter of 2023/24. This is essentially the same article as tha...

Check out this article that I originally penned in 2023, but was recently updated to reflect current methodology! It serves as an introduction to stats, analytics, and everything you need to know to understand my work! (yes, it's for CCSG, I am a long-suffering ATO fan after all).

Pechersky has signed for the Roses! Ranking as the best player in the league last season, she is very good at recovering the ball and on ground duels, and ranks the highest in foul differential. Her one real weakness is in defensive actions. Amazing signing!

A stalwart in the AFC Toronto midfield, Regan showed few weaknesses going forward, but was a little rough in duels and defensive actions. She was particularly good at her passing success rates. Great move for her!

Excellent acquisition (re-acquisition?) for Ottawa. Mbomio instantly became the best CB on the team when he arrived, and to get him for longer than his initial short-term loan is huge.

Field has always been a solid FB option off the bench, increasing his defensive impact but regressing slightly offensively from 2024. He would make a good depth option for any CPL club next year.

While getting up there, Lopez played very well off the bench for York Uni- I mean Inter Toronto, even if his WPA suggests otherwise. More opportunity might have paid off on the pitch both for him and his club.

I find it shocking that a talented midfielder forced to play out of position as a closer would leave for greener pastures and the opportunity to play full 90s. Nevertheless, she played well in her role and leaves a champion!

Tyr was stuck behind the other three U21 CB options in Ottawa last season, but on a rate basis ranked as the best player of that group. With rumours swirling, it's possible he will play a bigger role next season.

Baldisimo was an alright depth option at the 6 for Cavs last season. He was a very good distributer, and a decent duellist, but didn't show up much elsewhere. Decent retention.

Didic headlines the trio of departees, but don't overlook Sissoko as a Free Agent. He played very few minutes for ATO last season, but is still a very good bench option in this league.

Chang was one of the best players in the league last year, so this is a shock, unless it is for better things, given she is still young. She doesn't have any standout attributes, but is very well-rounded, if a little offensive minded. Tough loss for the Rise.

Golen recently extended with the Rapid, a good get for them. Her numbers are a little variable, but she was one of the better wingers in a weak 2025 NSL class. Good potential here.

Jimoh remained an exciting offensive talent in 2025, even if he, expectedly, regressed slightly analytically in a larger sample. Only 17, the sky is the limit for him.

Abathneh's hyper-inflated short passing and touches stats are doing a lot of heavy lifting for an already medicore WPA grade, but he has definitely increased his defensive prowess from last season. Rumoured for a move, this will only increase his stock.

A lot of you pegged Coimbra for a breakout season, and breakout he did! He was one of the deadliest strikers on a rate basis, held his own in the air, and drew his fair share of fouls. A deserving U21 winner, and possibly onto better things!

Kobza is the best of the returnees, someone who started his CPL career with great promise but has lapsed into a good-but-not-great option at the 6. A very good passer and duellist, he still has room to grow.

Although he scores well, Juhmi's numbers are a little all over the place, typical for someone his age and sample size. He is an excellent dueller though, and his 2025 will be one to watch.

Leon was a serviceable defensive CB last season with York United, but who had much better numbers in 2024. He will likely prove a solid starter again next season.

Emily Amano just re-upped with the Rapid, and although her sample is a little too small for significant analysis, she does look good behind the ball, although her distribution and offensive touch could use some work.

Mekideche's rating is a little inflated given his underlying numbers, so this move isn't too surprising. He showed promise last season, with a good base in a smaller sample, but wasn't able to build on that. He would've still been a good option for most CPL clubs mind.
