“Data analysis was a big step,” says Jan Wandt Sky Sports:A number of “This is a giant jump in the ultimate in the female data”. Wendt is the co-founder CupA company that helps to bring artificial intelligence technology to the Premier League Football.
They are already working on four Premier League clubs and around the world 10 times. Giving huge data to harvest and use AI, which makes sense to make it a guide to transfers, detachment and whether it is time to sell the coach.
The initial plan of Wendt and his business partner should have used AI as a prediction tool, but they soon realized that heated football is the main challenge of players in the game. “It’s just as important right now to make better decisions.”
Build what they claim to have the largest database ever built in football.
“We look at it with three steps. One, we can tell you exactly how strong your squad is and how strong to achieve your goals on each player at the end of the season.
“We provide a very clear idea to clearly know what positions it is to strengthen. The third part helps to find the right players, make a better idea of a better idea of a number
“Imagine that you are a doctor and you have to make a diagnosis without X-ray. You can only hear them.
“Then a boy with an x-ray is coming. This does not mean that the past decisions have been wrong, it simply gives an additional tool for what is happening. We give it an additional transparent view of what is happening at their club.
“If you want to reach Europe, these are your competitors, and how strong they are. How to get to the next level? “
While all clubs have access to the same data CupHow do they use it, different? Some willingly use it as a filter to target their scouts, while others are more common and prefer to have it as meaning-checking with their signatures.
“They create a list of their favorite players, we create a list of players who advise our system and we make a coincidence. How more careful clubs actually use suggestions “
Surprise Kaye’s forecast
What are the lessons learned? “Defensive positions are cheaper than offensive positions.” No wonder there, maybe. But the consequences of gaining this expensive new attacker can be difficult. There is more than the goals they score
Some ideas can be shaken. When Harry Kane signed for the Munich of Bayern, for example, Cup It is made in Germany’s titles when it turned out that their models predicted that the record signing of the Bundesliga would not have a positive effect on the team.
“After all, they have so far, and 49 of him have a goal,” said Vendt. Lowest of Bavaria for a term of 13 years. “Tottenham also got better, earned more points, scored more goals and had a better goal. This is how it was like that too. “
Kane is not a little, just recognizes that football is a team sport with many moving parts. Add something to the team and you can lose somewhere else. “The first season through the fight against Manchester City also hit less goals,” Wendt added.
Calculating the impact of the individual player is extremely useful for clubs when making decisions on collection and maintenance. “This is the most used tool.” With button click, Wendt can show a possible consequence of another player with one player.
“The data of the events have been 15 years or more. What we want to measure is the efficiency of systems, not how they can contribute to the team’s success. That’s what we have to cultivate.
“It’s all important, because this is a team sport with many dependencies and relations. What the MP is doing the helicopter, then it is trying to find a lot in this billions of relations. Then it’s trying to be data very much, which is important.
“If we offered to join Manchester City, we were simulating 38 games against each team of the Premier League to see how the data was manually processed.
Continuing with Manchester City, he makes his point of view. “For example, Ederson or Stefan Ortega. The score is almost the same. ” But then he removes Rodrin from the city. “It is massive.” And it will be a lot of injury as a risk.
“The player like Rodrey is in 7,000 of our meters. There may be 200 or so many players in the world on the 6000 level. “
The effect of coaches overrated
Unlike WTDT’s view of a significant impact of world-class players, the effects of coaches are something that he refers to the oversight. He did not enter into the ideas of pre-imagined. Was discovered. “This was amazing for us,” he admits.
“One of the more interesting learning from the Ministry of Emergency Situations is that the quality of the player is responsible for 90% of sports success, and the coach’s contribution is only 10%. Now, remember, 10 percent can still change.
“But the coaches tend to only succeed with the team only in a year. In the last 10 years, no coaches have been left in our system with long-term exceptions. ” Who are they? “Christian Stuburg in Freiburg and Pep Guardiola Manchester City.”
Guardiola’s last struggle without Rodre, of course, only serves to highlight the point. It can also work in the other way. The models also suggested, opposite folk opinion, when Jurgen Klopp was not very superheated in Liverpool.
Wendt shows a schedule that has klopp just on the line where it is possible to make results for that quality team. “Can you see that Jirgen is here, right on the green line because he was last season?” This line represents in line with expectations.
Again, Klopp is not discrediting. Some of the reason why these players are so highly assessed as Klopp improved them. “Jurgen contributed to that of course.
“Now, I think our models show that Liverpool has the strongest detachment in Europe, maybe the second strongest team. If a new coach can add two more percentages to be amazing. “
The temptation to change coaches will now grow only the transfer window is closed. “It’s the only real thing you can change now. It’s like hail Marie’s football. ” But through the notions provided CupThe hope is that better decisions will be made.
“Owners always have that problem, isn’t my team enough or does the coach do outside the team? has been. “
Negotiations in the Industry, which can still be guided by emotions and intestinal feelings for a more accurate Foundation of Decisions. One suspect may be just the beginning because Cup intends to expand its access.
“We now have some psychological parameters. We can predict injuries. It’s an extraordinary tool and we fill stuff every few weeks because they are already finding it hard to act. “
It seems that football becomes more difficult. Surprisingly, the goal of all this is to make decisions. “We want to make it black and white for the club. This player or is good enough to make you better or not. Welcome to Ai World.
