That's a ludicrous increase, especially considering the lack of changes.
What's different to last season in terms of personnel? Not a lot.

What's different to last season in terms of personnel? Not a lot.
Here is some supporting context ...
Spurs
Attack
- attempts : 5.99486%
-- off target : 4.29348%
-- on target : 6.81729%
-- blocked : 11.8012%
-- scored : 0.567108%
Opposition
Attack
- attempts : 10.1449%
-- off target : 8.12656%
-- on target : 11.4257%
-- blocked : -0.246103%
-- scored : 44.5652%
------------------------
So Spurs have ~ 5/6 % more attempted / on target
shots at goal, but no improvement in scoring.
By contrast, the opposition have ~ 10/11 % more
attempted / on target shots at goal, but a 44 %
improvement in scoring.
Conte-ball 2022-23 appears to offer the opposition
better scoring opportunities than Spurs 2021-22 did.
Notable changes in performance for the season to date (games = 25) .
Measures expressed as a % of the overall 2021-22 per game measures ...
Spurs :
1. Number of goals scored from corners has increased by 6x .
2. Number of red cards accrued has doubled.
3. Number of OG conceded has decreased by 49%
Opposition
4. Number of goals scored by headers has decreased by 62%
5. Number of OG conceded has decreased by 49%
6. Number of red cards accrued has decreased by 74% .
My suggestion for the causes of :
- 1 is due to the quality of crosses, and positioning of players for
"flick ons"
- 2 is due to unnecessary rash tackles
- 3 is due to the opposition making fewer dangerous crosses into the box
where the ball could be deflected in
- 4 is mainly due to the Spurs defence being able to deal wuth crosses
- 5 is due to the opposition conceding zero fluke OG this season
- 6 is that the Spurs attack is not putting thr opposition under
sufficient persistent pressure to draw rash tackles

Analysis of report R4.
This is at the 2/3 point of the season (traditionally
deemed to be the start of the "business end" of the season) .
There is not really much of real significance IMHO,
other than the GA is almost the same as it was for
all of last season,
On the Spurs defence :
Conceding less from corners. Nothing from free kicks.
The only notable measures from the stats is that
the number of clean sheets has dropped, and the %
in saves being made has increased by an equivalent amount.

Notable changes in performance for the season to date (games = 29) .
Measures expressed as a % of the overall 2021-22 per game measures ...
Spurs :
1. Number of clean sheets has decreased by 59%
2. Number of saves made is effectively the same as last season
3. Number of OG conceded has decreased by 56%
4. Goals scored from headers has increased by 89%
5. No goals have been scored from free kicks
6. Offsides committed have decreased by 33%
Opposition
7. Number of clean sheets has decreased by 56%
8. Number of saves made has effectively decreased by 33%
9. Number pf fouls committed has decreased by 40%
10. Number of OG conceded has decreased by 56%
11. Number of red cards accrued has decreased by 78%
12. Penalty kicks awarded has decreased by 34%
13. No goals have been scored from free kicks
My suggestion for the causes of :
- 1/7 is due to general defensive lapses
- 2 is due to inviting opposition pressure in the final third
too much, and allowing better quality attempts on goal
- 3/10 is due to the attackers not putting in sufficiently dangerous
crosses/shots to force an attempted block
- 4 is due to the quality of crosses being made
- 5/13 is due to the poor quality of free kicks (shots on goal or
crosses)
- 6 is due to either less attempts being made to beat the defensive
line, or the opposition is less effectively in holding the line
- 8 is due to the Spurs attack being less accurate on goal
- 0 is due to the Spurs attack not forcing the opposition to make
poor tackles in dangerous areas
- 11 is that the Spurs attack is not putting the opposition under
sufficient persistent pressure to draw rash tackles
- 12 is due to the Spurs defence not making many poor tackles in
the box

Anyone remotely surprised by this or expecting it to change before the end of the season?
Free kick goals scored/conceded last season : 3
Almost as if the universe is maintaining an equilibrium.
