Among defensive midfielders, Cristian Roldan leads MLS in “xPass”, according to @americansocceranalysis.com. Albert Rusnák also leads attacking midfielders in xPass score per 90. Jackson Ragen, who often leads in this category, has dropped all the way to fifth among CBs.

Ragen’s drop, fwiw, appears to be more about the way Columbus and San Diego are playing than anything he’s doing less well. In fact, Ragen’s xPass per 96 score is better this year than in either of the last two years when he led the league in xPass.

xPass gives a better look at who has been most influential moving the ball and what stands out to you here?
While Wallem's passing numbers save some of his negative play elsewhere, Santos is dead last in passing score, thanks in large part to the Seattle match where he completed 1 of 10 crosses.

To the surprise of no one, Courage Captain Denise O'Sullivan picked up right where she left off. She leads the league, for her position, in 6 different xPass categories! In short, she is still the playmaker we have all come to know and love.

People really want a stat to show how good yer Krooses and Rodris are, but everyone kinda knows that a basic pass completion % is half the story.
I think it'd be a great way to get xPass completion in front of people without it seeming too geeky

New report added: xPass by Field Third - you can easily see what clubs excel in passing in the defensive, mid, and attacking sections of the field.

That branch also adds cp/cpoe, spread-aware vegas_wp, xpass/pass_oe, fourth-down and two-point decision surfaces, and create_qbr() — plus a fix for the failure that made epa_wpa = TRUE unusable for 2006–2013.

That's NOT Nico's profile. Here are the metrics for a 6, compared to Tonali:
→ Ball-winning: 98th %ile vs Tonali's 56th
→ Aerial duels: 86th %ile vs 26th
→ xPass Overperformance: 93rd %ile vs Tonali's 42nd
→ Active defence: 97th %ile vs 65th
He will improve Newcastle's structure in all phases.

I have been working on a new model called Expected Defensive Threat Reduction (xDEF). This attempts to measure how much a defensive action or pressure reduces the threat of opposition possession based on xPass, EPV and OOP movement.

her vision as a passer probably still better than AT’s, but not particularly in this role she has trimmed down her creative output a lot compared to even last season. Huge drops in xA per 90, xPass+/- and passing g+ as like very vague statistical indicators of this

Turner has more of his passes long, but is underperforming xPass in the long and overall buckets. Freese is passing less often, shorter distances, but is blowing xPass out of the water and is overall much more secure (see passes per ball loss)

You joke, but it's only a matter of time til they leverage that publisher muscle and xpass.

Just so we're all on the same page, Lamine Camara is 35th percentile for xPass, 23rd percentile for aerial win rate, generated worse padj. active defending numbers than both Gravy and Dom while playing in the Ligue des Agriculteurs, and was dropped from Senegal's starting lineup in the World Cup 🤷♀️

I'll do these in reverse order
2) 'counting stats' for runs/movement. Runs in behind, recovery runs, movements into pockets of space (which need a name to catch on)
If specifically a model-based stat, xPass vs actual pass completion when under pressure

Where do you think the next frontiers are for 1. analytics in analytics communities (i.e. all-in-one stats incorporating tracking data, etc.) and 2. analytics in mainstream communities (i.e. the next stat to hit it big after xG)?

I launched Palworld on Xpass to check it out. Turns out it's very, very fun! I'm not sure how much I'll play it, because I'm approaching guns in the game and it's putting me off. I'll try to avoid them if possible :P
