By my reckoning if Stoke are still top of the Championship at the end of today, it'll be the first time since 27 April 2008 that they've ended a day top of a league table. At 17 years 3 months 12 days it's the longest such drought among any of the current PL and EFL teams.

I've created squad retention charts at the top European leagues (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Netherlands & Portugal): experimental361.substack.com/p/squad-rete... I thought there was a bug when I saw Alverca's profile, but it turns out they have only one player left from last season.

I am continuing to refresh the squad retention graphics on a weekly-ish basis: www.experimental361.com/p/squad-rete... Leyton Orient now without 7 of their 8 most-used players from last season.

Trying out another new template: recalculating the league table after each minute of play to show when teams performed relatively well (and not so well). Each mini-chart highlights an interesting cut-off for a team. Full explanation via the link: www.experimental361.com/p/minute-by-...

I've started tracking squad retention for every Premier League and EFL club - this page will be refreshed regularly during the transfer window: open.substack.com/pub/experime...

I thought I'd kick off the Bluesky era with one of the all-time classics: scatter graphics for the Premier League and EFL. A full set of graphics for each division can be found via the links in this post: www.experimental361.com/p/scatter-gr...
