*MONEYBALL CLINIC*
A team guide series, using a statistic-led approach to squad assessment, tactic building and recruitment. Mini episodes give a brief overview, looking at player's strengths and how that can inform tactical and transfer decisions. The feature episodes go into more detail, analysing player's in a far more holistic manner, digging deeper into the tactical side, and putting the ideas to the test.
*WHAT IS A PIZZA CHART?*
theathletic.com/2746113/2021/09/12/a-guide-to-smarterscout-and-understanding-the-athletics-pizza-charts/ (requires subscription)
In simple terms, it’s a chart showing a high level view of how often a player performs a specific action and how that ranks when compared to their peers. The bigger the slice, the higher the player ranks. A player in the 90th percentile for a category means they perform that action more than 90% of other players.
The pizza chart is calculated at 5% intervals, and each concentric circle represents a 20th percentile. It is based loosely on the above article from The Athletic, adapted to work with the metrics available within FM.
I have analysed 26,000 players playing more than 900 minutes in the Top 20 domestic leagues, breaking down each metric by position. Due to limitations this means the underlying data is static. For example, an Attacking Midfielder who completes 4 dribbles per game will always be ranked in the 90th percentile, even if at that exact moment in your game world there may in fact more or less players better than them.
The same metrics are used for each position (except goalkeepers) to enable you to understand the tactical profile of a player. Forwards will be involved in a defensive capacity, and defenders will be involved in an attacking capacity, and understanding how a player compares in his position in all aspects of the game is important.
You can incorporate in your game of FM24 by using a custom skin. The following are my recommendations:
