Excited to be at #NESSIS this Saturday, representing @gemini_sports ⚽📊 We’ll share our work on a league-normalized plus-minus approach in football and how it can uncover value in the transfer market. Lets catch up if you are attending!

Great article @probberechts.bsky.social @jessejdavis.bsky.social and Maaike! So important to know if what you build really matters

🌀 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐲𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 My @pydatalondon.bsky.social talk on Graph Neural Networks applied to Football has just been uploaded to YouTube, go check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUXU...

I am attending the IMPECT conference tomorrow in NJ. Looking forward to hearing some smart talks and catching up with people from the football analytics space. Let me know if you will be around!! @impect-official.bsky.social

🌀 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 @ 𝐏𝐲𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 On Saturday I presented a Graph Neural Network Expected Possession Value model at @pydatalondon.bsky.social 2025. This 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐄𝐏𝐕 model is an ML approach that predicts scoring probability for any moment in the game 🔗 tinyurl.com/pydata-ldn25

🩵 𝐊𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐯𝟑.𝟏𝟕.𝟎 + 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! Last week we released a new version of Kloppy that includes fully reworked documentation and support for 3 new tracking data providers amongst dozen of other features and improvements! 🔗 kloppy.pysport.org

👀 Something's changed at kloppy.pysport.org We’ve completely rewritten and reorganized 𝐤𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐲's documentation, now with: • 🚀 Quickstart Guide for new users • 📖 API Reference for power users Dive in & let us know what you think! @pysport.org 🤩

Hey @hugoriosneto.bsky.social, is that your work I see in this Scouted article? 👀

THIS FOOTBALL CLUB!

Not sure who cares here but I'm playing a HeartGold hardcore nuzlocke (dupes clause optional). I carefully planned my encounters for Whitney and her Milktank and got not one but two female Heracrosses! How're they both modest and have swarm!?!?!?

🌉🌁 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬! We brought together contributors from different open source projects to discuss how we can align our work and improve interoperability in football analytics. Looking forward to the next steps. #FootballAnalytics #OpenSource #PySport

Drawing a Spanish side in a European knockout game is exactly what ManUtd needed.. 22/23 - Sevilla (UEL QF) 21/22 - A.Madrid (UCL R16) 20/21 - Villarreal (UEL final) 19/20 - Sevilla (UEL SF) 18/19 - Barcelona (UCL QF) 17/18 - Sevilla (UCL R16)

Nothing beats the Athletic article @johnspacemuller.com wrote about that project!

🚀 Excited to see the improved data structure! Proud to contribute to @pysport.org's Kloppy package, especially with the new format integration. Grateful to @unravelsports.com, @probberechts.bsky.social, and @pff-fc.bsky.social for their contributions and for releasing tracking data in open-source!

@amod35.bsky.social finalized his pull request to integrate this new format into Kloppy a couple of days ago along side his earlier (unreleased) contribution for parsing the individual tracking data files too!

🚀 Great to see this improved data structure! Glad we could be of some help with this. Thanks @pff-fc.bsky.social!

First season with Athletic Bilbao. Got blessed with this

So fun squashing those 🐛

The last time ManUnited won at Anfield in the Premier League was January 2016. I was preparing for my board exams at the time. That means I've never seen United beat Liverpool as an adult... and now I can't sleep 🫠

Amazing! 🎊🏆

I've finally put some effort into writing a blog on it! unravelsports.github.io/2024/12/12/p...

Part 2 in our series on possession value models design decisions🔍: How the definition of "near future" has interesting effects on player ratings. It's not about 'better,' but about understanding the nuances. @probberechts.bsky.social lorenzo cascioli lode vantente dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/sports/blog/...

Back in 5th or 6th grade, I remember having an English essay book and one of the topics was "Why should you wish 'All The Best' and not 'Good Luck' " and although I don't remember the exact reasons it has stuck with me now where wishing someone "Good Luck" feels wrong

The tool allows users to integrate tracking data and observe them as video frames, while integrating a custom machine learning model to observe frame-by-frame predictions. The tool also allows functionality to move players around for creating "what-if" scenarios!

Excited to speak at Northeastern University's Sports Analytics Conference on Nov 20, 2024, supported by @pysport.bsky.social ! I'll dive into an open-source tool for insights from ML tracking data, its inspiration, and practical use in football. If you're in Boston, stop by to chat. See you there!
