Key Stats You Need to Know

Forget the basic stats. Dive deeper into things like Player Efficiency Rating (PER), Expected Goals (xG), and Usage Rate. These advanced metrics tell you the real story behind the stats.

For example, PER shows how efficiently a player performs, while xG helps you assess a soccer player's potential to score based on their shot attempts. These insights can help you spot undervalued players who might be flying under the radar.

Make sure to watch for 'advanced' stats and combine them with traditional metrics. The deeper your analysis, the better your decisions will be!

Making Stats Work for You

Use predictive models to forecast player performance based on trends and matchups. It’s like having a cheat sheet for your lineup! These models use data to help you predict how a player will perform based on historical trends and matchups.

For example, a running back facing a weak defense will likely get more yards, so starting him is a smart choice. With the right tools, you can predict a breakout performance and capitalize on it.
