Here are their respective distributions, each game is a point indicating the % of shots and xG contributed in that match by the player(s).

Took the idea from this tweet to create a dashboard (using understat data so it might not agree 100% with SB) to measure contribution to team's xG by player, Messi not at 50% here but close enough! https://t.co/yoSFykUT8e https://t.co/zBZuZPSOH4

Had a go at comparing teams across Europe's top five leagues and how they settle into different levels.

I calculated z-scores of these metrics then applied PCA (captured >95% of info. in two components) to reduce dimensionality to visualize them, and eventually use clusters. pic.twitter.com/wKF4pxyzeP
The five metrics are summarized into two components, and then plotted here. Shades of black in the first graph represent different leagues, colours in the second one represent the different clusters. pic.twitter.com/8Ptu7wUwdN

I also did this in isolation to just attacking and defensive metrics, here are the results.

My next steps are; how well do some preceding n games forecast outcomes based on these 'bands', and maybe develop some sort of similarity rating.

A while back I added a simple classification model on leading time and trailing time to calculate probability of finishing in a group of positions.

Took inspiration from the 538 model but used different inputs, feedback welcome!https://t.co/bnUzRzqMeG pic.twitter.com/MezTzGabR0
comparing this with the xG contribution helps define if the most involved players are also the best at getting/creating the highest value chances for their team pic.twitter.com/xD8TbIrBbi

Pogba's been involved in >1/3 of all shots taken since Ole came in, Liverpool will want to stop him if they want to choke United's supply line, much like PSG did. Not sure if they'll chose to do as tight a marking job on him though. pic.twitter.com/SKEUBZN2nT

Looking at shot quality distribution and conversion rates;
— Yatin Kapur (@yatin_kapur) February 11, 2019
- City lead # of top quality chances and scoring
- Chelsea don't create enough >0.5xG chances for a top 6 team
- Wolves, Everton score well from low quality chances
- Palace aren't good at converting from *anywhere* pic.twitter.com/S6BVVTuj9l
Height vs. shot quality from set pieces:
— Yatin Kapur (@yatin_kapur) January 2, 2019
- Man. Utd generate good looks using their height
- B'mouth have been effective while not being too tall
- Lot of bottom half teams could be using their height advantage to get better quality chances

DC United's recent climb probably not _just_ down to Rooney but he's been a key character in their rise

> Uruguay, Belgium, Croatia, Brazil all flawless
> Portugal probably deserved to finish first bc of their sustained leads vs. Spain & Iran
> Germany ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ pic.twitter.com/I8VHdD09rF
