All three promoted clubs got relegated. Again. That’s now two seasons in a row — and historically nearly 70% of promoted sides don’t survive more than a year. Check out our article that lays out the four steps required to stay in the Premier League. machinefootball.substack.com…

🚨 Thursday's Transfer Talk powered by Machine Football 📊 🔴 Arsenal are increasingly confident of signing Nico Williams. Machine Football ranks him No.1 in his archetype, with 99.98th-percentile dribbling and projections showing improved attacking output across Arteta's 4-3-3. 💰 Nottingham Forest want around £130m for Elliot Anderson. The data loves the midfielder's fit at Man City, projecting stronger progression and defensive intensity, but Machine Football values him closer to £73m. 🔴 Manchester United are weighing up a move for Mamadou Sangaré. Ranked 7th globally in his archetype, the Lens midfielder would add ball-carrying and defensive quality, although his best role may not suit United's current setup. ⚪ Tottenham remain reluctant to sell Pedro Porro. Machine Football identifies the Spaniard as one of Europe's elite attacking full-backs and a near-perfect tactical fit for Manchester City. #Transfers #AFC #MUFC #MCFC #FCBayern #THFC

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Conor Gallagher for £35 million. However, as many Spurs supporters fear, our model predicts the midfielder is unlikely to address the area they urgently need to improve most – their build-up play. #Spurs #PremierLeague
This snapshot of our model highlights where Tottenham are predicted to improve – and where they may decline – with Gallagher set to replace the now-injured Rodrigo Bentancur in the starting XI.

Sean #Dyche confirmed as the new #NFFC head coach this morning. Our analysis of his his final full season at #Everton (2023/24) highlights how Chris Wood will be eager to get going under his former #Burnley boss due to his preference for creating headed chances.
Everton's playing style under Dyche in 2023/24. Dyche's style is far less expansive than Postecoglou's, placing less of an emphasis on build-up play and instead focusing on maintaining a solid defensive structure (similar to Nuno).

#Wood also offers far more going forward than Dyche's previous options at Everton, which is likely to make his direct system more effective than it was on Merseyside.
While all of these strikers rank in the top percentiles in terms of aerial finishing, Wood offers more as a target 9.

#NFFC are in free-fall under new boss Ange Postecoglou – six games without a win, and fans are already questioning his credentials.

These issues have since transferred over to #Forest. Where Nuno was able to recognise and build on his squad’s pre-existing strengths, Postecoglou struggles to acknowledge when it might be best to adapt (at least in domestic competition).

If Ange fails to pick up a win in the weeks following the recent international break, starting with a tough test at home to #ChelseaFC, Forest's controversial owner, Evangelos Marinakis, may have another decision to make.

FT: Brentford 0-1 Manchester City. Brentford looked far more impressive in the second half, but couldn't craft chances in the central areas from which they typically thrive. This visual sampled from our game model highlights those zones where they look to shoot. #BREMCI

Under 15 minutes to go. Brentford now fielding a completely different midfield three to the group which started the game. Our model suggests Vitaly Janelt could be key in creating a late opportunity for Kevin Schade. #BREMCI

Brentford taking off their most creative player in Damsgaard (according to our model). The Dane has struggled to make an impact from today's midfield three. #BREMCI

Brentford constantly looking to bypass City's defensive line with long balls. Putting real pressure on Guardiola's side now. Our model ranks them within the top 10% of teams in terms of their final third-play, suggesting if they get a chance, they will likely take it. #BREMCI

Brentford nearly drawing level after being more direct. Hickey's long ball finds Igor Thiago, who is usually a lot more clinical from that position. #BREMCI
