He has now massively outgrown Feyenoord’s average player. Ranking as their best player in the Player Level Index - meaning it may be time for him to move on to a bigger club 📈 Our Transfer Analysis, which is a staple of our reports, analyses possible transfer destinations for players based on their age, Player Level, Playing Style, and insights into the last 15 years of transfer data.

But what does the data say?📊 We looked at Manchester United’s Club Level development—available in our 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁—to better understand how the club has performed under the Dutch coach. The Club Level index ranks football teams by their playing strength based on match results. Points depend on team strength, opponent strength, and home advantage, with tougher matches offering more points than easier ones. As with his predecessors, consistency has been a major issue for Manchester United managers. Erik Ten Hag has reached similar heights to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but has struggled to maintain that level since his first season at the club. In fact, the team's Club Level has rapidly declined since his first season with the Red Devils 🔴 What do you think? If Ten Hag doesn’t manage to return to the heights of his first season soon, should he be replaced as Manchester United manager? #FootballAnalysis #ClubLevel #footballdata #PremierLeague #FootballCoaching

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 – 𝗢𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵⚽📱 Our latest research highlights a connection between Player Level and Instagram Followers 📊. Players who perform better on the pitch tend to gain more followers, but we believe this works both ways. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 We analyzed data from four leagues: 🇳🇱 Eredivisie 🇳🇱 Keuken Kampioen Divisie 🇩🇪 1. Bundesliga 🇩🇪 2. Bundesliga Excluding outliers (like Harry Kane's 17M followers), higher on-pitch performance generally leads to more Instagram followers. But we also see that having a big following can boost a player’s career. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹: 𝗔 𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 A strong social media presence helps in many ways: 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀: Players excelling on the pitch gain more attention, resulting in increased follower counts. Great performances get fans talking, sharing, and following, boosting their online presence. 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: Consistent high-level play increases media coverage and fan interest. This heightened visibility translates directly into more followers, as people are drawn to top performers. 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: A strong social presence adds commercial value. Clubs are now considering a player's follower count when assessing their overall appeal, which can lead to more lucrative contracts and opportunities. 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: Players with large followings get noticed by bigger clubs and sponsors, even if they play in smaller leagues. This exposure opens doors to faster career growth and more visibility at the top level. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 On-pitch success drives social growth, and off-pitch influence creates better career opportunities. This two-way relationship shows that balancing both aspects is key to building a long-lasting legacy. #Football #DataAnalysis #Performance #SocialMedia #PlayerLevel #BrandBuilding #Legacy
