Thrilled to see futi launching! Here's 4 bunkering outliers in MLS last year, with varying degrees of xG success. Data from friends old (@americansocceranalysis.com) and new (@futi.live)

This is futi heritage — the first fan analytics post with our free advanced data. Great work, Jake!

Playing around with @futi.live organized possession data. In 2025 #MLS play, the Sounders ranked #1 in success rate and 8th in progression phases which @johnspacemuller.com defines as possession sequences where teams advance the ball into threatening areas before a shot or box entry.

This is great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 We’re very fortunate at FIFA to have access to detailed phases of play that are calculated using the tracking we have and I can’t tell you how much value it adds to our analysis so great to see others tackling this too!

This is really cool to see, I have actually been working on something similar myself. Trying to reliably identify the phase of play in which the events happen. I am still going to work on it but it will be really cool to see it in the Futi app. futiapp.substack.com/p/introducin...

How do you add tactical context to football data? For futi, it starts with a phase of play model.

I could not be more excited about this.

Can't wait for this! 🙌

We're so back

If you loved Sarri's Napoli or De Zerbi's Brighton, you should be watching Mikey Varas's San Diego. I wrote for the Guardian about the risky press-baiting style that makes MLS's newest team its most tactically interesting, statistically extreme and just plain fun.

There are a lot of reasons to love expected possession value but the dumbest one is I just like making these little movies

This is an excellent explanation of how xPV models work, and I'm really excited to see it integrated into a publicly accessible app. Great stuff.

Over the next few weeks we'll be publishing articles to help you get to know how futi's stats work. First up: meet our possession value model that turns every touch of the ball into goal probabilities.

On our next episode, we have an interview with the co-founder of this new app @mimburgio.bsky.social. He’s also the lead consultant for @americansocceranalysis.com in their relationship with @mnufc.com. Excited to share it with you early next week!

We're excited to announce futi, a next-gen football live score app that lets fans see the game like the pros do. We'll be showing off features soon, testing in MLS this summer and expanding to other leagues as quickly as we can. Here's an intro to how futi works and what makes it different:
