Who Could Birmingham City, Coventry City and West Bromwich Albion sign to replace their Key Players?

Episode Description:

In today’s episode, we look at the most productive attacking talents for three championship teams. Siriki Dembele of Birmingham City, Matt Godden of Coventry City, and Brandon Thomas Asante of West Bromwich Albion.

With these players performing particularly well for their clubs we explore the potential scenario of 'What would each club do if they were to receive an offer they couldn't refuse, the player suffered an injury..... or decided to declare themselves available for the upcoming AFCON Championship?

We feel it's important for all clubs to be ahead of the game and having potential replacements already identified, scouted, and fully researched for off field characteristics puts them in a very strong position and less likely to malke a reflex panic decision that could set the team and club back........We've all seen some strange deadline day signings haven't we?!

We identify potential replacements who mirror their playing styles, using comprehensive data from their performances in the EFL Championship this season.

  1. Finding the Perfect Fit for Dembele: We delve into the candidates who could step into Dembele's shoes at Birmingham City, focusing on players who match his playing style and attacking characteristics.
  2. Searching for Godden's Doppelganger: Discover our top picks to replace Matt Godden, emphasizing players with similar physical presence and goal threat.
  3. BTA's Potential Replacements: We assess players who could fill the void left by Brandon Thomas-Asante focusing on those who share his goal threat and pace.
