[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be honest and I recognize my ignorance about soccer development when I say this: I don't like the current rankings based on quality of play.

My issue is that QoP is not clearly defined. The  MLSN website just says that they use Taka’s analytical formula. What does that mean? how can my player or my team improve on this metric? Without additional information and guidance, this is just a change from a possibly flawed but objective measure of a team's success - the final score, to an also flawed but subjective and unclear measure of a team's success - QoP.[/quote]

Did you read the USA Today link someone took the time to research and post for you?[/quote]

Yes, the article explains a bit more than what the website does.

My observation from following what Taka posts on Instagram is that the algorithm probably considers the number of players on the team with good individual  skills (those that are getting top % plays monthly) and constant movement and linkups which I’m assuming means they are trying to create plays or are constantly strategically playing and using technical skills, as opposed to reacting to what the other team does.

But I wonder if the algo adapts or already reflects the overall skill level of MLSNext players? I see dribbling highlights all the time on Taka. If that is such a significant skill to highlight,
does that mean most players aren’t very good at it?[/quote]

Dribbling at the highest levels is measured by the net result at the end of the dribble. 
Successful breaking of lines, positive pass or shot on target

Dribbling through 8 players then losing the ball isn't bonus points. Especially going backwards, side to side or in circles

True, the ones Taka highlights end in shot attempt, a complete pass or a goal. [/quote]
