Just a quick snapshot (attached the amazon links below as their reviews give a good description) they are both statistical thinking on sports. Pardon my lack of clarity if its confusing at all, just got out of a midterm.

Soccernomics is a book with a strong amount of analysis by economists in how the market has shaped up for transfers (trades) and any trends that have been set. Essentially they are both based off of 'advanced' statistics and interpretations through sports. I'm essentially most interested in managerial decisions in sports and any books on related topics.
