The leagues in throughout Europe started again and thus we can see more movement in the players. Especially players that changed the club in the transfer period are more likely to make larger movements. The strongest Goalimpact improvement in August came from a young player in the English League One. Britoli Curtis Assombalonga is forward at Peterborough United, a club with a remarkable performance last month.
Peterborough won all of their four League One games and all their two League Cup games in August. All of their three away games even with a margin of two goals at least, scoring five in two. Yet, most surprising must have been the 6:0 against FC Reading, a club that plays in the higher Championship, in the second round of the League Cup. Given this performance, actually all players of Peterborough improved their Goalimpact. I selected Assombalonga as top mover, because he had the strongest movement among those players that had already 3000+ minutes.
Assombalonga nearly played the whole time. He has been substituted only twice. In minute 89 int he game against Notts when it was still 4:1 and in minute 80 against Reading at a score of 5:0. Assombalonga contributed five goals and three assists to those six matches. His score went up by 6.6 points (yes, even as a young player, even such a performance doesn't make you skyrocket) to 103.8. With that score surely he should be able to play Championship, no?
