Spurs are currently top of the league. Here’s a look at the relative strengths and weaknesses of the rest of the pack.

  • Arsenal and City are so (boringly?) similar

  • Liverpool looking most well rounded

  • Villa similar to Spurs but without the press

  • Brighton similar to Spurs but without the defence and counters

  • Chelsea look dangerous… if they can find the net

  • Newcastle worse than results would imply

  • United better than results would imply

Data sourced from: https://datamb.football/teamradars/

    I’m surprised spurs are not physical at all. Especially considering how Romero plays.

    Love the content

      Yes, I think the data might be off. Physicality is supposed to be both duels and aerial duels won. Spurs are actually near the top of the tables for tackles and interceptions %. But we’re third from bottom for aerial duels won %. Looking at the other charts and comparing to the data on FBref, it looks like DataMB is only using aerial duels for physicality.
