Creating Data Profiles

To find players using performance data; you have to “translate” real-world footballing qualities into numbers. Elite analysts can build a detailed picture of a player using data. This module shows you how it’s done. The module covers the key statistical techniques and knowledge Premier League analysts use to identify technical; tactical; and psychological strengths in a performance dataset. We’ll learn the challenges that can make it difficult to capture a player’s qualities; and how analysts overcome them. The module wraps up with an interactive exercise which gives you the chance to help your club find a new full-back.
