It’s no secret that data analysis and performance analysis are both lightyears ahead of where we used to be in the beautiful game. But many clubs still do not have access to a team of qualified individuals who can dedicatedly work alongside the club to link data, video and performance analysis together.
The vast majority of analytics companies work with professional clubs, without properly linking analysis to the team’s specific needs, style of play and principles. It’s been reported that nearly 50% of all new signings fail.
We recognize the importance of scouting & recruitment as a part of the strategic planning process for clubs. Our team of analysts work alongside clubs to identify players for their needs and style of play. We help clubs strategically plan for the future by creating ever-flowing scouting databases and player reports, allowing the club to already have a suitable replacement for every single player, position and player role in their squad.
$80.99 PER MONTH – SCOUTING DATABASES
Our team of analysts utilize a mix of live match footage and Wyscout, merging video, data and performance analysis together throughout the scouting & recruitment process. We rank players based on data in each player role, and create in-depth player analyses to help the club meet their needs.
Importantly, we help clubs to identify like-for-like replacements (or enhancements) on all current players in their squad. In our scouting databases, we include players that the club already has their eye on (whilst providing detailed analysis), in addition to players beyond their current scope.
To see an example of what this entails, reach out to us over email. We are happy to discuss how we can improve the scouting & recruitment processes of your club.
In working alongside clubs through scouting & recruitment, we are also happy to provide clubs with additional services as needed:
- Player Reports
- Opposition Reports
- Performance Analysis
- Set-Piece Analysis
- Player Performance Coaching

Game of Numbers #40 – Bruno Fernandes as an ‘8’
They might not be firmly in the top four yet, but Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United have seen significant improvement this season. Much has been made in the media about Amorim’s use of the 3-4-2-1 and whether or not it’s a perfect fit for players like Bruno Fernandes and his midfield partner Casemiro. But with some…
Game of Numbers #39 – Erling Haaland’s backstep before goals
Manchester City have scored 15 goals in the Premier League’s opening 8 matches. Erling Haaland has scored 11 of them. And among many of those goals, a common trend has emerged. I call it – the backstep!

This is a rather optimistic take on the state of Manchester United, amidst much in the way of common criticism and calls for Amorim’s head that will likely continue to circle the media all season long. Here is my tactical analysis of the Red Devils to start the 2025-2026 Premier League season.

The benefits of consulting with a performance analyst
Clubs, and certainly professional players, are not currently accessing this to the extent that would truly take their game to the next level. Yet so many youth coaches and younger athletes at the youth level remain unafraid to make that leap. Soon it will be those coaches and players who are already investing in their…
