I love the application to a specific team. You’d imagine every club has their own profiles that are key to their philosophy or at least within the recruitment team. I’m so chuffed you’ve found the writing useful and it’s an honour to be paired with Spencer’s work. Looking forward to see which profiles you come up with.

Thanks Jake! Really appreciate you reading and commenting. Yeah, I’m interested in unpicking the impact of players being at a very different level than in the original Archetypes - I believe the general principles will be the same (production, effectiveness, efficiency and so on) but am intrigued how much we have the same archetypes but at a lesser level, or more of one trait than others, or very different archetypes. And factoring in team philosophy is, eventually, useful for things like squad planning - some teams will rely more in archetypes, for instance. Anyway, very early days for me on this, but am looking forward to the journey!

Hi Steve

Love your work. I’m struggling to find attacking touches in Sofascore, I’d love to do this for Aberdeen. Any help would be appreciated!
