Great film and really gives an interesting insight into statistical analysis, and the reasoning for why the management were bringing in the players they did.
Really makes you think about how a football team (even though it stemmed from Baseball) has been put together and the reasoning why certain players are in the squad.
Highly recommend. |  | | |  |

It's a good film though the book is much better (in my view). I think one interesting factor though is that the 'Moneyball' approach can lead to consistent overperforming without ever breaking through into excellence or dominance. True also in football I think; Brighton, Brentford, even Bournemouth - all have found a pretty good formula for being mid-table sides when their resource base suggests they should be perennial strugglers, though they can't consistently challenge for the top spots. |  | | |

In football the acquisition of players is only part of the story, forging those players into a team is arguably a bigger factor than the stats for any one individual. |  |
