Manchester City’s 24/25 Premier League campaign has been a season of contrasts. While their tactical identity remains clear, the team has faced unexpected challenges, leading to some of their most underwhelming results in recent years. Is Rodri’s injury the real reason of the collapse or is it something else?

His relentless energy and ability to dominate the midfield were impossible to ignore. Week after week, Kanté’s performances proved his doubters wrong. Ranieri, who once questioned the signing, later described him as the “battery of the team” and that ”the world is covered by 70% water and the remaining 30% is covered by N’golo Kanté”.

Ola Lidmark Eriksson, the founder of PlaymakerAI, stands as one of the most influential pioneers in football data analytics. In this interview he shares insights on how clubs can maximise their use of football data for scouting and analysis.

The role of data analytics in scouting has become impossible to ignore. With every season, teams are turning to advanced data to make smarter decisions, whether it’s finding a hidden gem in a lesser-known league or optimizing their squad for long-term success.

In football analytics, Expected Points (xP) has emerged as a key performance indicator (KPI), reflecting the likelihood of a team winning a match based on the quality and quantity of chances created.

n today’s fast-paced, content-heavy world, capturing and holding the attention of football fans is no easy feat. While traditional match reports and score updates still have their place, modern fans crave more than just raw data—they want context, analysis, and, most importantly, visual storytelling.
