Agoume and Mendy on Pedri and De Jong. Suazo splitting duties watching Ferran and stepping up on Koundé as Romero pushed up on Araújo to go man on man. Simple, in one way, and brave but maximum concentration needed to carry it out.

Castellón are unbeaten in five games, are at the top of Spain's second division in a host of attacking metrics and it's all driven by data. The man behind it all, Haralabos Voulgaris, answered some of our questions about one of the most interesting and innovative projects in European

A quick look at the LaLiga landscape in terms of open play performance. Clearly a best five so far: Villarreal continue to perform like a true T4 team and Betis are competing very well, especially on the defensive side. Athletic's attacking struggles hampering their arrival.

Writing a piece about how Raphinha changes everything for Barcelona only to see he has left training and will likely miss the Clásico. How do they now cope and adjust, or not, to the absence of the Brazilian. theanalyst.com/articles/barce…

Atlético’s four draws are hurting them but the fact that they’ve spent only 3% of their total minutes this season trailing is pretty remarkable.

Vinícius Jr. has 19 carries that led to a chance created this season, the most across Europe’s top five leagues. Second is Kenan Yildiz (Juventus) with 10. Second in LaLiga is Lamine Yamal with 6. When a player produces at that level, you can understand Madrid not staying mad

Luis Milla with his 6th assist of the season. No player in Europe’s top 5 leagues has more. And the goalscorer? Mario Martín. Zero career goals before joining... Getafe! Now he has two in ten games.

Another thing about Barcelona's high defensive line is that the linesmen don't raise their flags immediately and there are so many that are right on the edge. You get several sprints 40-yard sprints in def transition that end up getting called offside after the fact. Another

Lorenzo Amatucci is only 21 but he's such a tidy player. On loan at Las Palmas from Fiorentina. Like the Segunda's equivalent to Mikel Jauregizar if you want a neat little comparison.

Marcus Rashford’s moment has come at Barcelona, but it could be gone as quick with Raphinha nearing a return from injury. Robbie Dunne ponders what it might mean for the England international in Spain: theanalyst.com/articles/marcu…
