Not seen anyone post this but heres an interesting video from our "Moneyball" expert Dan Altman
Something I've picked up from this video (and if we buy players from this style of analytics) is that the players we will sign in the future will be more direct in their passing especially defenders (no more swansalona?).
Watch out for the moment where he calls Swansea "a not so good team" lol
Be interesting to hear your interpretation from the video

Stats like this has a place in football but he is massively over emphasising their importance. How can the some ratings from the teams players and predict a teams results? If he could really do this regularly why isn't he making his money out of gambling on the footy?

I think it's more than a search tool by the sounds of that (boring) presentation.
It looks like they could put an alogorithm into a computer that identified qualities they'd want in a decent centre back (i.e. Number of Blocks, tackles, headers - very simplified) and apply it to the top 5 divisions across Europe. Presumably you'd get a result that showed the likes of Otamendi, Koschelney, Ramos (which i guess would prove the algorithm worked) but the results may also show a cb playing at a mid table Italian team, one in a lower end Spanish team etc and then you'd go and watch those players and scout them in the traditional way
