Style profile · how they play, not how good they are
Each axis is a percentile against the 19 other clubs with a profile this season, built from every shot Sunderland has taken and conceded in their last twelve matches. A club can sit high on these axes and still be poor — this describes character, not quality.
- Creating
- Conceding
Descriptive only. We tested whether style matchups improve match forecasts — a set-piece side against a set-piece-vulnerable defence, and so on — and the answer was no, to five decimal places. These profiles tell you what a match will look like, not who will win it.
