Some Questions About the New Prozone System

[absurdbey]

Hello everyone, i have some questions about the new prozone match analysis system. I have some ambiguities about the use of the prozone match analysis during the match and after the match.

Question 1: How do you use prozone during the match? I try to look for the heat map of my own team and the AI's team, shots made by my team and the AI's team and evantually the avarage positions of my own team and the AI's team but i have to be honest, while i am looking for these stats, in fact deep down i do not know what i am looking at exactly. What should i take into consideration during the match with the stats i talked about and what else can i check with my own team and AI's team to analyze the game and make the necessary changes or tweaks. Can you possibly give me some insights about this? Which stats do you think would be useful to look at during the game, when you are losing or when you are winning the match except the heat map, shots and avarage positions? And by the way, what the hell avarage positions mean?

Question 2: Lets say for instance, if you suffer a defeat, what are the stats that you look at and interpret after the match? What do you take consideration into and how do you interpret these stats?

Thank you very much. I would be so glad if someone have answers to my questions.

The most common issue to iron out that people have imo is seeing their team dominate possession, have 30+ shots on goal and lose to a team who have a tiny fraction of that.

In situations like that, you need to ask some questions...

1) ok, 30 shots.. but how many on target? how many clear cut chances? where are my shots coming from?

2) ok, i'm dominating possession, but am I using the ball correctly?

For both of these questions, you can use prozone, which will show you where your shots are coming from i.e all long shots, all from horrible angles etc. Prozone will show you where passing is coming from i.e all sideways passing? no penetration?. It can show you heat maps, which will show you any weaknesses in your system i.e where the opposition is getting the lions share of the ball.. are they constantly getting crosses in from one flank etc?

Average positions show you where your players are generally throughout the game, so it will show you your general shape, which you can pinpoint weaknesses... is your rampaging fullback always too high up the pitch for example?

So one can say that with heat map: You can see and analyze where your team moves and leaves spaces behind or exploits, and the same applies for the AI's team.

With shots option, you can see where your team tries to score and how it tries to do it, with long range shots etc.

With the pass stats, the prozone goes crazy. You see hundreds of passes that is done during the game, is there a better option to analyze this like important passes to see where the dangerous passes are coming from and where they are heading to? Thanks a lot welshace for your answer. It kinda cleared some things.

Worth just searching through and taking a look tbh, so much info in there.

Should be mentioned that with the passes option you can filter it down to single players to help narrow it down, the idea is to give you a rough idea where that player is getting some joy out of the game.. i.e is your trequartista getting successful passing while drifting to the left flank? is your CB making too many risky passes? is your DMC just hoofing it long when you want him to pass it simply to the players ahead of him?
