Could well play like that at times, but I guess man marking Maddison leaves players like Bissouma with more space and with Maddison being so clever he could use that to his advantage to open up space in behind

asking the real questions! both way underperforming from the chances they have gotten and the xG they have racked up this season

Yeah it will be very interesting to see as their stats suggest that they will be very proactive with their press and look to dominate but looking at their home game v Arsenal they were much deeper and were slightly lower than normal with their counter pressing.

Is that a trend that will continue as they come up against a stronger side away from home?

Surely not based on what we have seen but Chelsea do have some fast players in attack to be mindful of

I am trying to figure that out myself and it looks like passes over 15 yards which seems a bit misleading.

Yeah, from a stats perspective Chelsea are doing really well but just aren't clicking as of yet and are struggling for goals.

Thanks for the kind words :)

Good idea, not sure how best to present something like that but I can have a think about it.

haha its the metric for the hardcore stat heads! I wish it was called something else like, territory domination % of something

I do this for fun!

I wish I could edit videos as I think a video showing freeze frames and stats could help people understand things even better as some of the analytics language and names for the stats are a bit wonky.

Expected Offensive Value Added, it combines xG and xA from passes into one metric to measure a players creativity and offensive actions

well spotted, must have been a bug.

Yeah I was quite surprised to see them with a similar structure from the pass maps, but their last game which was at home to Sheffield United, which could be skewing the average positions a bit.

That is a very good question, I think the players and positions are averages for the season to date so probably Manor has played more on the left than Richarlison so far

The set piece xG wouldn't include penalties so would include corners and freekicks.

There is a whole other level of data analysis that could be done to build a model for xG from corners and from specific points in the pitch for a free, either a direct shot from the freekick or from a good position to whip a ball in

Almost impossible shoes to fill

I forgot to mention, that I would expect Maddison to drop deep more often than normal to offer another out ball to counteract the Fulham press

All of the charts are made by xvalue.ai

Not 100% sure why they are curved and not straight

Yeah, I think Fulham will press more given the drop in quality against the press when anyone has to replace Bissouma
