Episode 2 - Midfield Playing Styles Across Europe

How do you explain to someone who has never watched a game of football, that Roy Keane and Robert Pires were both ‘midfielders’? They played totally different roles in their team!  In episode two, we take an in-depth look at midfield playing styles across Europe. We look at how the role of the midfielder has evolved over the years, and explore how you could use analytics to find a bargain buy in the transfer window. Plus, we deliberate about our dream midfield combination, and Ryan introduces a bizarre new game for everyone to play! -- Bio links:  David Beckham Goal vs Kansas City: https://youtu.be/W5-CZnlYyRA.
