First Football Analytics Meetup
Thanks to everyone who came along to our first Football Meetup!
We started with a short football metrics quiz before moving into team setups to face various European opponents. That led to some lively tactical discussions as we worked through different game states and assessed how our strategies held up.
To wrap things up, we reviewed scouting reports and debated which players best fit into our teams based on roles, attributes, and overall tactical fit.
Here are some of the key resources we drew on:
