Why Top Teams Use It
Two Ways to See It
Data Lens
This lens quantifies entries by number, type (pass, carry, dribble), and location (wide, central channels), correlating them with subsequent actions like shots, key passes, or expected goals (xG). Analysts might track entry success rates and identify patterns in where entries are most effective for a team.
Scout Lens
A scout observes the quality of the entry, such as the timing and precision of the pass, the player's decision-making under pressure, and how the entry impacts the opposing defense's shape. They assess the threat posed by the specific players making and receiving these entries, considering their individual skills and tactical understanding.
