Spurs are currently top of the league. Here’s a look at the relative strengths and weaknesses of the rest of the pack.

  • Arsenal and City are so (boringly?) similar

  • Liverpool looking most well rounded

  • Villa similar to Spurs but without the press

  • Brighton similar to Spurs but without the defence and counters

  • Chelsea look dangerous… if they can find the net

  • Newcastle worse than results would imply

  • United better than results would imply

Data sourced from: https://datamb.football/teamradars/

Key to the attributes

  • Goals: Goals per 90
  • Attacking: Shots on target per 90, Touches in box per 90, xG per 90
  • Possession: Possession %, Positional attacks per 90, Accurate passes per 90, Pass accuracy %, Avg passes per possession
  • Counter: Counter-attacks per 90
  • Defending: Goals conceded per 90, Shots on target against per 90
  • Physicality: Duels won %, Aerial duels won %
  • Pressing: PPDA (Passes per defensive action)

Addendum: Brenton = Brentford. That was a typo on my part - apologies.

It’s a pity that there’s so few purple in the Lemmy soccer community. We need to find a way to make it bigger.

Post content and replies consistently over time and it’ll grow. The problem is people expect it to be like the other networks that have been through that process over decades. Takes time and tenacity to build communities. :)

Why the hell are people downvoting this? At least say why so I can answer any critiques or correct any issues.

What are your observations or interpretations of the data? Interested to hear what you think.

Because no other fan-bases have active content creators, it makes them feel like they only see Spurs related posts. They might also think this should be in the Spurs community, not in the general football community.

It was originally posted to the Spurs community (and Mastodon). See here. I cross-posted it here because I thought it might be of general interest for other fans to see how their teams compare. The site used to make the graphs can be easily used for other comparisons. Worth having a play if interested.

I’m surprised spurs are not physical at all. Especially considering how Romero plays.

Love the content

Yes, I think the data might be off. Physicality is supposed to be both duels and aerial duels won. Spurs are actually near the top of the tables for tackles and interceptions %. But we’re third from bottom for aerial duels won %. Looking at the other charts and comparing to the data on FBref, it looks like DataMB is only using aerial duels for physicality.
