I was totally amazed how many entries their were for the ‘Friends oF Tracking’ Liverpool analytics challenge. The brief was:

1, Use one or more of the tools we have learnt so far (pitch control, speed and acceleration, passing networks, pass maps etc.) to analyse the data.

2, Feel free to combine with other data available from other sources on Liverpool.

3, Produce an output (short report/video) that can be communicated either to a coach, a video analyst or players.

4, Write technical details in a separate appendix.

5, Post a link in comments below and/or to Twitter using #FoT.

Below is a list of entires in no particular order. If I have missed you then please DM me on Twitter. Over the next week we will, together with coaches and analysts, be looking to find the ones that are best.
