Player Analytics
Our teams strive to accurately determine the intrinsic value of each player to help club managers make informed decisions. Based on a comprehensive analysis, we look at key aspects of a player’s performance, personal characteristics and potential contribution to the team.
Our analysis first focuses on the player’s sporting performance, looking at specific data and comparing it to similar profiles. We then assess extra-sporting criteria, such as injury risk, marketing image and mental resilience, to provide a complete picture of the player’s added value beyond the pitch.
Finally, we carry out an in-depth financial evaluation, including mathematical and statistical tests to assess the value of the player’s investment. By combining these different strands of analysis, we provide managers with a clear view of the risks and opportunities, enabling them to manage their staff more effectively and strengthen their strategic position.
Staff Reviews
Our squad review service provides an in-depth analysis of all the players in a club’s squad, giving managers a better understanding of the make-up of their team and helping them to optimise their strategic decisions. By examining the sporting contributions of each player, we help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the squad, enabling managers to make choices based on the specific needs of the team.
In addition to sporting analysis, we assess the economic impact of players, taking into account their salary costs, resale potential and indirect income generated. This assessment allows us to better balance sporting performance with financial viability, highlighting players offering a good return on investment and those for whom a contractual review could be advantageous.
Finally, we carry out a prospective analysis to estimate the development potential of each player, whether they are promising young talents or experienced players. This dynamic approach provides managers with a medium- to long-term vision, making it easier to plan future recruitment and possible sales, while contributing to the sustainable and competitive management of the club’s resources.
