As for United:
super fit
spent 200mn on surefire above average EPL attackers.
will be tough to beat
don't have enough quality/patience for final action
lot of confirmation bias with this one for me - not sure i learned much.
I back them for a european finish with 1 game a week so good 3 points

headed shots seem to have a bug where none of them are first-time, so digging into this.
the timeframe is our entire DB so everything starting 16/17 i think.
I can pull normal heading numbers - i'd assume 99% of headed shots are first-time tbh

alright lets do this again.
VG = 150/573 for 26% first time non-headed shots. 32% conversion.
BS = 93/296 for 31% first time non-headed shots. 21% conversion!

double checking the math here - feels like we might get rid of headed shots?

this was wrong i think.

Sesko 93 first time shots out of 386 for about 24%
Gyokeres 193/667 for 28%
will check this again but counterintuitive i guess

He has a great context around him
and least G+A output on his team
and lower OBV than Raph
