Episode 62 - Manager...lytics

The Football Fanalytics Podcast

The domestic season is underway, and there are already plenty of talking points to discuss!

After Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte’s touchline clash, we thought we’d focus on the dugout this week. How can you profile managers using analytics?

From formation use to tactical styles, what is the best way to quantify the impact of a manager above a team’s ability? We dive into the debate, and discuss some useful resources for good measure.

Finally, we are delighted to announce our collaboration with Spitch — a live Fantasy Football Manager app where you can pit yourself against other managers, and win real money in the process!
