Canadian Premier League Scouting Databases

The intention of this CPL Scouting Database series is to present undervalued and underrated players from leagues across the world that could be valuable options for Canadian Premier League teams, or higher levels of play in North America. The players featured here include:

  1. CPL players that are among the best in their position/role within the league.
  2. Players across leagues from every continent that would comfortably be one of the best in their position/role in the CPL.

All players featured here have been screened through an intensive data and video analysis process, often times through the culminating work of three TMS scouts. Our data analysis primarily includes players with the following criteria:

  1. Under the age of 27, with a market value below $600k (the standard currency for market values is listed as €400K and below, so we have converted it to CAD$).
  2. Specific data criteria used to screen players in each role/position based on our player roles.
  3. Contract expiry dates typically between now and 2024. Some CPL or Canadian-born players featured have longer contracts, but have been included due to their fit for the clubs in question.

CLUBS – SCOUTING DATABASES

We work with clubs through a linkage between data and video analysis, assessing potential prospects around the club’s specific principles of play and needs. In doing so, we create comprehensive databases that continuously allow clubs to identify players that suit their needs, and strategically plan for the future.

To discuss what this would entail for your club, reach out to us over email! We love connecting with new clubs.


COACHES – MENTORSHIP

We work with coaches around the world in six different sports, helping them to develop their coaching philosophies, game models, and tactical/analytical knowledge.

To discuss the possibility of coaching mentorship or a coaching consultation, reach out to us over email! We love connecting with coaches from all over the world in any sport!


PLAYERS – PERFORMANCE COACHING

We work with athletes across the pro, semi-pro, university/college, high-school, and youth levels of five different sports, primarily soccer/football. We break down live in-match footage to help players better assess for ‘BOTS’ and make quicker, correct decisions on and off the pitch.

To discuss the possibility of sports performance coaching, reach out to Rhys over email! We love connecting with players looking to grow their game.

Tactical talking points from Matchday 1

The new season has sprung upon us, enlisting a host of exciting tactical tweaks to explore. Some things might not last more than a match, and that’s all part of the fun of the first round of fixtures. Here is what stood out to me from Matchday 1.

Lewis-Skelly and Tzolis star in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Coventry

Earlier this week in my Arsenal preview, I declared the Gunners as favourites for the Premier League title again in 2026-27. They’re just so complete. So well drilled. So organized. No missing components to the puzzle. It’s a really efficient side that Mikel Arteta has built, and one that can hurt opposing teams from such…

How Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal could look in 2026-27

Arteta’s made subtle adjustments in the transfer window to keep his squad the same, adding only a few pieces to the puzzle. The only loss is Leandro Trossard, and it’s safe to say that United, Liverpool and City have endured greater losses. Meanwhile, Bruno Guimarães adds another versatile dimension in midfield, and Greek international Christos…

How Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool could look in 2026-27

After winning the title in Arne Slot’s first Premier League campaign, Liverpool endured one of their worst seasons across the past decade in his second, ultimately resulting in an end of season sacking. Three points below them, Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth secured European football for the first time in club history. Despite that, the prospect of…

How Enzo Maresca’s Manchester City could look in 2026-27

The 2026-27 season will mark the first time in ten years that Pep Guardiola has not been one of the dominant forces in the Premier League. After six Premier League trophies and a Champions League title to his name, Pep Guardiola finally closed the curtains on his time at Manchester City, making way for a…

How Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur could look in 2026-27

Roberto De Zerbi managed to do something remarkable in quickly instilling a high intensity, press and possess 4-3-3, whilst predominantly just showing the players that they were cared for and looked after. With more time to properly employ his methodologies, we could see a Tottenham Hotspur side ready to challenge for the top four. Here…

How Michael Carrick’s Manchester United could look in 2026-27

After a string of successive failings at Manchester United, Michael Carrick brought a breath of fresh air to the club at the start of the year. The Red Devils lost just two of their seventeen matches with Carrick in charge, winning twelve and drawing three. We’ll never know what might have been possible had he…

How Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea could look in 2026-27

Xabi Alonso enters Chelsea as one of the most reputable managers in the world, despite only being in the managerial scene for seven years. He also enters at a time when Chelsea desperately need someone to steady the ship. The Blues finished a measly 10th in the 2025-26 Premier League season, and lost the backing…
