I've started tracking squad retention for every Premier League and EFL club - this page will be refreshed regularly during the transfer window: open.substack.com/pub/experime...
As is traditional, here's a calendar year table for 2025: open.substack.com/pub/experime...
Stoke weren't able to end their wait, although they'll get another chance if their game with Sheffield Wednesday goes ahead. I've written something on the longest waits for a team to sit top and bottom of a table here, and the latter is even more interesting: www.experimental361.com/p/which-club...
I've created squad retention charts at the top European leagues (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Netherlands & Portugal): experimental361.substack.com/p/squad-rete... I thought there was a bug when I saw Alverca's profile, but it turns out they have only one player left from last season.
Following on from the Premier League versions last week, here are fixture difficulty grids for the three EFL divisions: www.experimental361.com/p/analysing-...
As the new EFL season is almost here, I've updated the fixture difficulty grids as promised: www.experimental361.com/p/analysing-... The PL version will also get a refresh in early August.
I am continuing to refresh the squad retention graphics on a weekly-ish basis: www.experimental361.com/p/squad-rete... Leyton Orient now without 7 of their 8 most-used players from last season.
Trying out another new template: recalculating the league table after each minute of play to show when teams performed relatively well (and not so well). Each mini-chart highlights an interesting cut-off for a team. Full explanation via the link: www.experimental361.com/p/minute-by-...
As is traditional, here's a Premier League difficulty grid, smashing together the newly-released fixtures with the latest betting odds. open.substack.com/pub/experime...
I've finally gotten around to making some post-season graphics (as per these examples), including a new version of the squad age profiles - all accessible via this link: www.experimental361.com/p/plans-for-...
Ending the year with another traditional post - here's a 2024 table for the English leagues: www.experimental361.com/p/2024-table...
I thought I'd kick off the Bluesky era with one of the all-time classics: scatter graphics for the Premier League and EFL. A full set of graphics for each division can be found via the links in this post: www.experimental361.com/p/scatter-gr...
