Another round of seeing where the nastiness will be for the coming season, and how Spurs do like for like against 2023-24. Season dashboard : 1. PL (like for like with 2023-24 after 38 games) : Pts = -28, GF = -10, GA = +4, clean sheets = -1, W = -9, D = -1, L= +10. 2. UEFA land EL : winners Ranking pts = 32 3. League Cup : SF 4. FA cup : R4 5. Disturbances to the PL fixtures - UEFA : 10 - PL broadcaster c**ts : 5 Fixtures for the current month : May 4th : PL [9] - West Ham (A) May 8th : Europa League - Bodo/Glimt (A) May 11th : PL [10] - Crystal Palace (H) May 18th : PL [4] - Aston Villa (A) May 21st : EL final - Man Utd May 25th : PL [11] - Brighton (H)

Analysis of the PL fixture list : VERY GOOD spread of fixtures against the top 6. Bear in mind that EL participation means sunday games, but it will be interesting to see to what extent TV broadcasters (attempt to) interfere with that over the season.
I think City had less because they rotated a lot from the start. Arsenal just got lucky, especially as they ran plenty of players into the ground. Fulham? Palhinha was the one injuring everyone else!
18 / 20 / 2.5 are the mean / mode / std deviation values (60% of the clubs are in that range) . The injury profiles (severity, opposition-inflicted etc) are probably far more significant.
Yep. A clash of heads resulting in a concussion and a week out is not the same as an ACL or a broken leg. I assume that they're all counted as one injury each for this, though.
Dashboard updated (UEFA land) . Spurs have amortised the pts totals of the 2020-21 and 2022-23 seasons ; https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/trank2025.html
PL (like for like with 2023-24 after 38 games) : Pts = -28, GF = -10, GA = +4, clean sheets = -1, W = -9, D = -1, L= +10.
Thank you all for participating in the experiment I have been running this season on the article to see how engaged you were (the zip file with the "source data" for the PL compass that I updated every game - that nobody accessed, the club PL table rankings I provided in the "Fixtures for the current month" list etc) .
Labour of love that. Not usually into stats as they go way over my head at times, but it did make interesting viewing....
A minute here and there per game. < super easy, barely an inconvenience > Automatically generating the "dashboard" stats on demand would be a bigger "labour of love" (I cannot be arsed to do it) .
