Shape of the Week
Last edition · Week of Jul 27 · built from GoalPost's own numbers
San Diego’s possession share jumped from 24 to 62 over the past week.
That is a long way from sitting deep and playing without the ball.
Orlando City SC went the other way, with press intensity falling from 100 to 56, a clear step back from the front-foot version of the week before.
Dinamo Zagreb’s press intensity also dropped, from 72 to 40.
Remo added directness, moving from 0 to 36, while FC Thun’s press intensity eased from 100 to 70.
Different teams, same pattern: less pressure in some places, more of the ball in another.
