The harder they work the luckier they getI would guess that Albion's success is down to a very highly skilled, motivated, well rewarded and well managed team from TB/PBOBE downwards that works extremely hard to achieve the success they do. They will use various tools/methods including detailed analytics (as do all Premier league teams) and given that TB already has a successful business in that area make use of that.
Unfortunately good people working hard isn't much of a story. 'The Secret Algorithm' is much more exciting to believe
Cheap as chipsI believe in the Club's last set of accounts we paid £3m to Star Lizard.
Anyone here know how lots of the stats are compiled?Lots of over simplification in the media and on social media about what StarLizard do.
A lot of the football industry is/was quite old fashioned and involved scouts going to watch players to give their verdict. With us there is some serious data science going on to help find players now. There’s stats available for so many aspects of a players game and it can be interrogated in loads of ways using software like R and Python which need to be programmed to find what is being looked for. That is where StarLizard will come in.
Answers are in the book I mentioned. Not students, but people do it. Takes several hours to analyse and document each match..Anyone here know how lots of the stats are compiled?
. Number of dribbles over 10 metres
. Number of successful passes, forward passes...
. Number of interceptions etc etc etc
Are there teams of students analysing each game?? I guess it's common knowledge, in which case... sorry
Ah... thanks very muchAnswers are in the book I mentioned. Not students, but people do it. Takes several hours to analyse and document each match..
Also AI is being used as well now but not sure how much.Answers are in the book I mentioned. Not students, but people do it. Takes several hours to analyse and document each match..
Had an acquaintance that did IT there. Said similar and said the annual bonuses are great. He basically paid off his mortgage (on a gaff in London) in 8 years on the bonuses.A friend of mine’s brother worked there (mathematician). Would not say anything about it all other than he he had to work really hard but loved working there and they were really good bosses.
Interesting stuff - I guess player movements/ actions can be tracked by AI if player recognisable by number/gizmo they wear/hairstyleAlso AI is being used as well now but not sure how much.
Is the right answerI'd say none of anyone's business.
I would beg to differ. As long as speculation is not maliciously founded, surely in an open society any company should be open to scrutiny and comment?Is the right answer
This info must be less and less accurate the further down the tree one goes?Answers are in the book I mentioned. Not students, but people do it. Takes several hours to analyse and document each match..
You're not "interested". You are just an extremely nosey individual with little or no life of any value.
A question for you..;
How long will it be before you run away snivelling and demanding that all your previous posts are deleted from NSC as you did before as Mustafa 1 and causing Bozza one of the most difficult periods of his tenure in charge of NSC....a forum which so many of us derive such pleasure from ?
I shall refrain from describing you as an utter scumbag this time.
NoThat seems a bit harsh, or have I missed something yet again? Is this related to somebody who may or may not have been born and breakfasted in Hove and for some reason seemed very proud of that in another guise, or is this somebody completely different?
In terms of Star Lizard - we know nothing.
