01
Coaches who prioritise set pieces
Hypothetical feedback
Beyond the finishing position, I want to understand the delivery and movement that leave a player free to shoot.
- What works well
- Set pieces are separated from open play and can be filtered by team, player and body part. This supports discussion of whether headers and shots are coming from the intended locations.
- What is missing
- Delivery origins, near-post and far-post targets, and movement to lose markers. Corners that do not produce a shot must also be counted to compare the success of whole routines.
- Use for the next match
- Use recurring shot locations to select video clips, then rehearse the delivery, attacking runs and second-ball responsibilities.
- Suggested additions
- Classification by side and near-post or far-post target, real footage of the five to ten seconds before a shot, and shots and goals per 100 corners.
The distribution of finishing positions alone cannot establish which set-piece routine is most effective.
02
Coaches who prioritise high regains and quick attacks
Hypothetical feedback
After winning the ball, how many seconds and passes does it take to reach a good shooting position?
- What works well
- Last-action categories and shot locations provide a starting point for finding situations associated with regains or ball recoveries and selecting clips to analyse.
- What is missing
- The exact regain location, elapsed time and intervening passes. The current motion is an illustrative diagram, not a reconstruction of measured player movements or timing.
- Use for the next match
- Compare video of attacks that lead to a shot with attacks that break down, then train the first pass after a regain and the supporting forward runs.
- Suggested additions
- A sequence linking regain location, passes and shot using recorded data, with filters for elapsed time and pass count. Include attacks that never produce a shot.
A ball-recovery label alone does not establish a direct regain from an opponent or a clearance error.
03
Coaches who prioritise defensive organisation and opponent preparation
Hypothetical feedback
I want to compare the opponent's preferred shooting areas with the locations where we concede shots, then decide what to protect.
- What works well
- Opponent and player filters reveal shot locations and body parts, providing material for defensive meetings about central entries and crosses.
- What is missing
- A map of shots conceded, opponent comparisons, score state and substitutions. Half labels are estimated, so differences cannot be read directly as the effect of a tactical adjustment.
- Use for the next match
- Review video of areas the opponent repeatedly uses and decide who presses and who covers. Examine both goals conceded and situations defended successfully.
- Suggested additions
- Side-by-side maps of our shots conceded and the opponent's shots, with filters for recent matches, leading or trailing, exact match periods and before or after substitutions.
A low historical conversion rate does not establish that it is safe to allow shots from that area.
The current dataset covers the 2025/26 Premier League. Suggested additions are proposals, and some require data not currently collected. A coach may combine several of these priorities.
