  • EM 2021 Första Elitålder
    EM 2021 första elitålder Lenny Asp den 7 juni 2021 Till: Föreningen Svensk Elitfotboll (SEF) Svante Samuelsson Thomas Hasselgren Robert Johansson Jag har gjort en analys av alla spelare i trupperna till EM 2021 som de ser ut idag. Jag tänkte att ni kan få en sorts bonus analys över första elitåldern för dem. Det är ju ett par statistiska svårigheter med detta som vanligt. Dels är det svårt att få fram exakt info för tidiga åldrar på spelarna, framförallt för de östeuropeiska lagen och Nordmakedonien har jag inte ens försökt gissa på. Jag har ofta använt Wikipedia som för det mesta är tillförlitligt när det gäller de bästa spelarna. När jag inte hittat exakt info men tror att spelaren kom tidigt till elitlaget så har jag satt 11,5 år i flera fall. Dels måste man bestämma sig för vad som är ett elitlag i de olika länderna. Även där är östeuropeiska länder besvärliga, jag vet för lite om deras inhemska fotboll. Men även för de bästa länderna måste man bestämma sig för var gränsen ska gå? Jag försöker få något som motsvarar Superettan i Sverige för alla länder så att det ska bli någorlunda jämförbart. Det innebär att för topp 5-nationerna så är det åtminstone nivå 3 som gäller. För övriga oftast nivå 2 men England har jag nog tagit med några nivå 4 lag också. Kriteriet för att vara ett elitlag är ofta om laget kallas för ”professionellt” enligt Wikipedia, även om det också är ett lite luddigt begrepp nuförtiden. Så det blir en aning subjektiv från mig ibland, men jag tror att det blir ganska bra åtminstone för de västeuropeiska länderna.
