I am not saying that analytics cannot be applied. I have been making money applying analytics to football for years. But analytics is not some machine that you just cram data into and out come the best players. That may work with baseball it doesn't work with football because the nature of the game is totally different (another example is with NBA, NBA's scoring frequency and pitch size totally changes the dynamics...it is another invasion game, but one that has totally different properties to football). No equilibrium strategy has been explained twice. If you don't know, I can't help you. They aren't "farm teams". That only makes sense in the context of American sports (once again). Analytics is an emphasis at many of these clubs, it is how they win games (again, I am not sure if you understand that I am not talking about American sports...win probability is important because if you don't win games, you get relegated, and your club can stop existing in a few years...you need to win games).
