"Hearts roared to the top of the Premiership on Saturday with a dominant 3-0 win over Falkirk to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, a game where left-back Milne lined up on the right side of midfield. Head coach Derek McInnes spoke pre-match about his side's lack of options for that position, but said Milne had impressed when dropped into the new role in their recent 2-0 win over Rangers at Ibrox."
"But in the summer window, he completed a "life-changing move" to Greek side AEK Athens, which raised a few eyebrows. Why were Hearts letting him go? Selling a player when their stock is high, after what may be viewed as a purple patch, is the underlying principle of Bloom's data-driven approach: maximise gains, reinvest in the squad and, crucially, always have the replacement in the building."
Harry Milne moved from understudy left-back to a dynamic right-sided attacker for Hearts. Hearts beat Falkirk 3-0 to reach the top of the Premiership while maintaining an unbeaten start. Milne started on the right side of midfield due to limited options for that position. Milne had previously impressed when he played that role in a 2-0 win over Rangers at Ibrox. New minority owner Tony Bloom and Jamestown Analytics focus on converting unlikely players into all-round talents. Hearts sold James Penrice to AEK Athens in the summer, applying Bloom's sell-high, reinvest strategy. Milne seized the opportunity, using direct pacey play to fill the right-sided gap.
