In this episode, The Athletic’s Michael Cox, Mark Carey and Liam Tharme join Ali Maxwell to talk about why this Premier League season has had an unbelievable number of goals.
The number of goals being scored in the top division of English men’s football is at its highest rate since the 1960s.
But what has caused this?
Are goalkeepers not as good as they used to be at keeping the ball out of the net?
What has VAR done to the game in the context of goals given or denied?
And are players shooting more and better?
This and much, much more on the final Tactics podcast of the 23/24 season.

In this episode, The Athletic’s Michael Cox and Mark Carey join Ali Maxwell to put together an alternative team of the season from the 23/24 Premier League.
Mark and Michael are allowed to choose one player from each of the teams in the bottom half of the Premier League to make up their side.
The mathematically minded amongst you will clock that only gives them eleven players, so from one team they get two picks.
This episode really illustrates the truth held within that famous internet aphorism from E.M. Hudson:
“Dudes can literally just sit around and name old sports players and just have the best time.”

In this episode, The Athletic’s Michael Cox, Mark Carey and Liam Tharme join Ali Maxwell to discuss which leagues are the most competitive in Europe.
We cast our eyes across Europe’s top five leagues, and then beyond them into the top twenty leagues across the continent, including some second tiers…
What matters most when measuring what makes a competitive league?
Is it the finance or the depth of talent in each league year on year? Or is it how well spread both of those things are across a division?
And should looking at how competitive a league is compared to other places influence where clubs scout for players?
