Latest Transition Ratings for @spfl clubs that gives a rating based on each team& #39;s ability to drive possession into the final third via Controlled Entries & how well they make it difficult for opposing teams to do the same.
This is a useful tool to evaluate team& #39;s midfield play

This visual shows how the different aspects of transitional play impact the rating for each club.
Note: @HibernianFC & @KilmarnockFC basically have the same ratings...hence the muddle of dots there.

This rating was introduced in this @ModernFitba post & I also address how weird it is to see @JamTarts rated so well (hint: their problem is their play in their final third & defensive third & not so much in the midfield). https://www.modernfitba.com/blogs/2020/4/11/using-zone-entries-to-evaluate-transitional-play-in-the-scottish-premiership">https://www.modernfitba.com/blogs/202...
I should also note that the data is still being collected so the results will be fluid. Learn more at our Patreon site https://www.patreon.com/spflentriesproject">https://www.patreon.com/spflentri...
One of the most useful aspects of this data is the ability to hone in on transitional play in the three different zones of the midfield: left flank, centrally, & the right flank.
Here& #39;s how each team& #39;s Controlled Entry rates breakdown along the left flank

Driving possession into the final third on Controlled Entries isn& #39;t easy but it comes with big rewards (it leads to a shot 26% of the time, compared to 16% & 17% on the flanks).
Finally, here is how the Transition Rating is broken down when honing in on the right flank of each team& #39;s midfield.
Lastly, we are still early in the process of meeting our goal of tracking all the 2019-20 matches. The results above will be fluid & mainly I& #39;m showing HOW we can use this unique data set.
