2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

I've mentioned it a little above, but this is the core of Moneyball. Often people think moneyball is buying young foreign players (often for big money). Moneyball is really about taking decisions that may look strange, but give you statistically better outcomes.


Like imagine that scene with the scouts. People saying "he can't pass" "he's 33" "he's lumbered" "his technique is bad" and Brad Pitt saying "we win 57% more points with him in the team" (that's a made up number but you get my gist). For whatever reason, he clearly makes a difference.

My own view, is Dyche will probably have to rotate his midfielders, including in game, which is not natural to him, but if he can get it right, we can be really effective in that area. Yesterday Gana coming off the bench really helped, and we can potentially get more out of him if he isn't playing 90 minutes each game.
Finally, finally! It's Brad Pitt's fault. Everyone else has had a turn.
