Just a lil thought that I have after seeing these two football data analyst job descriptions.
On one side is a club looking for Excel/Power BI/Tableau expertise, on the other side is a club looking for Python/Java/JS expertise. Kinda show the quality difference in football analytics right now.

It's probably time to give this project a full release huh?
From the league that brought you Sam Kerr, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Mary Fowler, if you want to find the future and past Matildas, let FBRef's data and this Streamlit app be your best friend!

4 goals scored after 3 matches from 4.71 xG, and 5+1 goals conceded from 5.78 xGA.
There are obviously patterns to how the Young Socceroos scored and conceded goals here, but my opinion about their performance is, they weren't very good overall, even against Cuba.

Just wanna say a quick thank you to anyone who chose to sub to my blog, and also to the people who check in every now and then! I will try to get back to writing a bit more once I'm finished with the Streamlit dashboard and get back some downtime, so please bear with me 🙏

For anyone interested, yes you can switch between light and dark mode too. I know the cyberpunk theme might not be everyone's taste, so the app will come packaged with light and dark mode at release, with dark mode being the default one, and Streamlit's themes are disabled completely.

Now that the Dub/A-League Women is confirmed to be on FM26, it's probably a good time to share the project I'm working on! If you want to know more about the league before FM26 is officially released or the new season starts at the end of October, I hope this dashboard can be useful to you.

First draft done, still need to do a lot of code refactoring, get the outfield stats to display, then calculate similarity 🫡

Well one way that I cope with that feeling is to just put my progress out here.
Made a bit more progress with the dashboard so far. This is still not perfect cause there's a lot more logic that I'll need to work on. But yeah I'm trying to switch over to Plotly for some vizzes!

A bit more teaser about what I'm working on!
With Western United heading into hibernation, these are their A-League Womens players who will be heading into free agency along with their mins played from last season, except for Chloe Lincoln and Kahli Johnson.

Now that 4 matches + the DFB-Pokal first round have passed, if you're still looking for a 2. Bundesliga team to follow (especially UK fans with the matches being aired for free on Youtube), I recommend choosing Preußen Münster for this season and here's why.

Came on at the 70th min. Made 7 touches. Received a yellow at the 98th min, then got sent off just 2 mins later.
Rough day for Mattias Svanberg, but at least he can say he's not having a worse day than Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.

Was tempted to pick Bizot over Ramsdale for my FPL Challenge team and even wrote this for an archived FPL article that I didn't want to release. Wanna see if I'm right about Bizot or not 👀

A bit of xG data from the #Matildas U23 match for anyone interested! A fairly uneventful match with Philippines only started to create chances in the second half, which also coincided with the Matildas U23 slowing down.
