The average age of the Lincoln squad is 24.32, which is three years older than the youngest squad, Stockport (21.22), and three years younger than the oldest squad, Bath (27.22). We have the most internationally-experienced side, with an average of three caps per player (thanks to just four players—Olembé, Marques, Koroma, and Pacquette, who have 65, 19, 2, and 2 caps, respectively).
We have the quickest defence in the league, with the average pace and acceleration of our defenders rated at 10.80 and 11.50 (out of 20), respectively. We suck at marking, though, and have the worst midfielders in the league at shooting from distance.
We're rated ninth best at passing if you take the average across the entire squad, but we're fourth best if you look at just the midfielders. Our midfield creativity is also fourth best, but our teamwork is rather poor (average of 9.55 in the midfield).
In attack, we have poor finishing, heading, and movement (those just so happen to be the weaknesses of Rodney and Ansah). But we're among the fastest, only lagging slightly behind Fleetwood on pace and acceleration.
This indicates to me that I'm probably playing to the strengths of my team. We pass the ball around, but hold our formation rather than shift players here and there until a gap appears. Our goals come from speedy dribbling, counter attacks, and excellent wing play leading to low crosses. Meanwhile, our strong defence comes from good heading and great tackling, chasing down anyone who gets in behind. These are our strengths. I'm glad to have data to back me up.
