Football analysis is more useful when readers can see how a conclusion was reached. Our articles therefore separate the available data, the surrounding match context and the writer’s interpretation.
Start with a specific question
An article should answer a defined question rather than collect unrelated statistics. That question might concern how two playing styles interact, whether a recent result reflects a broader pattern, or which part of a performance changed after a tactical adjustment.
Use statistics as evidence, not decoration
Possession, shots and recent results can describe a match, but no single number explains it. We compare metrics over an appropriate period, identify what the metric does not measure and avoid presenting a small sample as a reliable trend.
Check the match context
Schedule congestion, squad availability, competition format and game state can change how a performance should be read. When reliable information is unavailable, we state the limitation instead of filling the gap with an assumption.
Separate evidence from interpretation
Facts and source-backed observations should be recognisable as such. Tactical interpretation and opinion are valuable, but they should not be written as verified facts. Predictions are uncertain and are never presented as guaranteed outcomes.
Correct the record
Football information changes quickly. Material updates should include a revised date, and factual errors should be corrected without silently changing the original conclusion.
