Entering the 2024 season, Head Coach Gonzalo Pineda said the team was emphasizing defense, and that showed up in the club’s efforts during the offseason. The scouting department, led by Carlos Bocanegra and Jonathan Spector targeted players with a strong pedigree. Seven matches into the regular season, the strategy seems to be working. Atlanta United is playing better defensively this season, conceding fewer goals in MLS and limiting quality shots for the opponent, which can be seen in this week’s metric called expected goals per shot against. As Atlanta United, and MLS, develops deeper knowledge and use of data analytics, we’ll be taking a look behind the curtain at some of the specific stats the club values. In our new weekly content series, we examine one metric provided by StatsBomb that may not stand out on a first watch, but upon closer evaluation, is a useful tool to measure the team’s performance.
