Arsenal Preseason Position Battles to Watch - Arsenal have typically had a pretty settled hierarchy entering preseason this year it looks different and there are some key positions up for grabs cannonstats.com/p/arsenal-pres…

Martin Odegaard has been a major lynchpin of the Arsenal squad since joining full time , playing 90+% of the minutes available while healthy. Do you think that changes at all this coming season?

I’m working on v2 of my transfer pricing tool and I’m planning on integrating some of this as well! Really good stuff here

Adam's transfer rating formula re-writes transfer history - I love the idea of doing an unfiltered back test and it turned out great. Lots more hits than misses! cannonstats.com/p/adams-formul…

Seeing pictures of all the Arsenal players and the strength and conditioning guys have done excellent work this summer

Spending time amongst the tall trees is cool

Not a worry in the world

I think Chelsea would take a bid of £20 full stop no need for the “m” to not have the wages on the rest of that contract

Arsenal pick Gyokeres? - can’t help but have a touch of skepticism and worry but it’s Arsenal buying a striker and I am excited cannonstats.com/p/arsenal-pick…

Ready to recharge on the coast

I’m planning to get away from the heat, headed to the coast, just for the heat to leave with me and have some of the nicest summer temps of the season. Sometimes that’s just how it plays out.

I hope Rashford bangs for them. That’s also just a pretty massive amount of wages to take that risk but Barcelona and prudent wage management is oil and water. United should be thrilled to have a year free of those off the books.

I can totally understand why if Arsenal are looking for a midfieldy winger that they have narrowed it down to these two. Simons more upside but less certain to hit the ground running, probably a cheaper overall package Eze has the PL proven™ tag. Last year a bit down one but…

Eberechi Eze - Detailed Shot Map 2024-2025

I love doing these for new players. Nice way to quickly get a sense of what they can and should do with the club.

Viktor Gyökeres - Attacking Half Passes Received 2024-25 One of the things I am going to watch with great interest is how Gyokeres' left side tendency works with the pod on that side. One of the upsides is bringing back some of the fluidity and balance that has been lost since…

I have been thinking a bit more about trying to create a shot chart that is a bit more information dense and helps give a bit more context. Is this too much? Does the extra information help?

This is what I expected, players need that break. This still gives him two preseason friendly matches before the season starts

Arsenal confirm that due to Noni Madueke playing at the Club World Cup for Chelsea earlier this summer, he will join up with the squad in early August after their Asia tour.
