Portland Thorns FC
There is a clear idea running through POR: they attack by running at people (1.4 standard deviations above the league), built on a core of off-ball runners. The flaw is just as clear: they struggle to find clean possession (1.0 SD below average). Everything runs through Sophia Wilson.
