Week 8

Welcome back!

Some interesting trends beginning to emerge but as is so often said, I’m waiting until Week 10 to make any sort of bold predictions.

The biggest change to note in the graphic is the addition of Goals For to the Big Chart.  I had been tracking this already and although I’m most concerned with Goals Against and Total Shot Ratio on Target, I think it adds to the broader context of what I’m tracking.

This page is set aside for a bit of a hobby of mine: analytics.  Now granted I’m not the SMRTEST guy at this but over the past few years, I’ve been doing a lot of reading on predictive analytics with respect to football.

One of the things that I’ve really been interested in is the correlation between goals conceded and challenging for the title.  I genuinely believe that is one of the best indicators of League position (besides points).
