The Running Game
As of this season the Bundesliga website provides tracking stats of all players through the "Spiel Matrix" feature (only in the German version for the time being though). In other words: how much, fast, often and where did a player run during a match. Whether this will give fans any new and useful insights remains to be seen, but they could be slightly less useless than overemphasized possession stats.
