POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Six years ago, our editor wrote about a teenager breaking into Birmingham City’s first team in the Championship. This week, we go back to him.

Jude Bellingham has gone from a sixteen-year-old holding his own in the second tier to a Champions League winner, a Real Madrid mainstay, and one of the defining midfielders of his generation. That’s the story we want to tell properly, not as a quick stat update, but as an actual account of how someone gets from there to here.

We’re splitting the telling in two. @itsdottedmedia will carry the words, the context, the moments that mattered, the version of this story you can’t get from a highlights reel.

@itsallign will carry the numbers, running his performance through our VEI model to show, season by season, exactly how his output has developed over that time.

Same player, same six years, two different lenses. First deposit, revisited.

Six years ago, our editor wrote about a 14 in the Championship. This week, we go back to one of them.

Ebere Eze has gone from a promising academy talent to one of the most watched attacking players in English football, an England call-up now firmly part of the conversation. That’s the story we want to tell properly, not as a quick stat update, but as an actual account of how someone gets from there to here.

‘Archiving stories, conversations and ideologies that stand the test of time.’

Football media moves fast, and most of it is built to be forgotten just as quickly. In 2020, we set out to do the opposite. Dotted.Mag became a tangible product, something that could hold stories, conversations, and ideologies worth returning to, not just reacting to.

Issue 001 was where that started. Our editor profiled 14 players featuring in the Championship at the time. Six years on, they’re standing at the top of elite football.

That’s the story we want to keep telling. So we’re introducing Dotted.Bank, a running archive on our website where old stories get revisited. First up, we’re going back to those to see exactly how far they’ve come.

When do Premier League Forwards Peak?

We analysed every Premier League forward season from 2014-15 to 2025-26. 206 players. 496 qualifying seasons. One metric: xG per 90 — the cleanest measure of attacking threat we have, stripped of luck and teammate quality.

The findings? Quite interesting..

ALLIGN WEEKLY ANALYSIS’

Spurs aren't a team with one fatal flaw. They're a team being undone by accumulation—small collapses at the wrong moments, structural vulnerabilities exposed by patient opponents, and a dependence on set pieces that masks how little they create in open play.

Weekly Analysis drops today—your new home for the talking points that define the season, dissected through data and context. This week:
