Playing style

How Christopher William Gerard Hughton's teams play vs league-season peers (2016+)

Descriptive — how a coach's teams play, not how good they are.

Career average

One shape blending all 2 clubs (2016+).

The baseline — each polygon on the right shows how one club's style deviates from this.

balanced profile

+0.32style consistency across 2 clubs

More consistent than 64% of multi-club coaches.

A high score means the same playing style travels from club to club — well above the random-coach baseline (-0.01), so it's a signature, not the squads.
