Unearthing Underrated Players

by Tom Storvik

In football, as in so many other spheres, a players success is directly judged by the number of goals they score or by their number of assists. However, not every genius of the game is brought into the limelight due to restrictions on playing time. That's where the power of statistics comes into play.

Going deeper into players performance statistics, one might be able to identify some hidden talent that earlier could not be identified easily. EADNI is an agency that specializes in representing such underrated footballers with advanced statistics to give a chance to its clients to be noticed by the leading clubs.

The Problem: Playing Time is Finite

Many promising footballers end up on the bench, often more than they would like. This lack of playing time may come from team strategies, competition for places, and if managers prefer one player over another. Such players miss, by definition, the occasion for showcasing their qualities in the reflection of the statistics that traditionally catches the attention of staff, fans and the public in general—for example, goals and assists. And that's where it needs more nuanced approach to surface this potential.

The Fix: Advanced Focus on Performance Metrics

Football statistics mean more than just the simple metrics of goals and assists. Checking these advanced performance metrics better shows a players abilities. Below are the key statistics that display the skills of footballers with few playing minutes:

Pass Completion Rate: High pass completion rates are reflected in the accuracy and conciseness of any individual player.

Interceptions and Tackles: A look at core defensive metrics that show how successful a player is at stopping opposition plays and regaining possession.

Key Passes: Shows creativity and vision in the number of passes leading to a goal-scoring opportunity.

Dribbles and Take-ons: These are successful attempts to run past an opponent.

Pressures Applied: Other than the raw data, it measures how frequently a player applies pressure to the opponent, which is crucial in high-pressing modern football strategies.

Case Study: Unearthing a Midfield Maestro

Now, consider this hypothetical midfielder, Alex — a relatively young player who has not been given enough chances but has proven himself during training and in some games. These reduced minutes are shown in Alex's stats and data, where he only:

Pass Completion Rate: 92 %

Interceptions per 90 minutes: 4

Key passes per 90 minutes: 2.3

Successful Dribbles per 90 minutes: 6.2

Pressures Per 90 mins: 18

These are the statistics that illustrate Alex's ability to hold onto the ball, unsettle the other team and create goal-scoring opportunities - even created with a start set in a defensive perspective. By those measures, Alex no longer appears like an extra body on the bench, but rightfully will be viewed as a dynamo on the pitch.

EADNI's Strategy:

EADNI is skillful in identifying and promoting underexposed football talents. And here is where the stats would help nudge their clients:

Comprehensive Data Analysis: EADNI conducts a detailed analysis of available match data, focusing on advanced metrics to properly evaluate player performance.

Bespoke Player Profiles: They provide tailor-made, in-depth profiles that depict selected players strengths, supported by statistics. These are provided to the clubs to effectively mark off what the player could bring to the club, above and beyond the relevant statistics.

Highlight Reels: EADNI has gone a step further by showing some statistics on the in-game players; this, therefore, fills in the gap in which the stats translate to in the real world.

Networking and Advocacy: EADNI markets its clients to clubs and scouts, allowing them to get noticed, be offered trials and get a chance to live out their full potential as a player on a level their talent deserves to be showcased.

Continual Monitoring and Feedback: EADNI continually ensures that their clients are on top of their game with the necessary feedback and improvements to be ever ready to maximize their opportunities.

Conclusion:

For those in the football world, talent cannot only be counted by just the number of goals and assists. Advanced stats are the primary resource to reach new skills in their underplayed footballers. EADNI is at the forefront of using data-driven insights to unlock and transform careers towards the recognition its clients deserve. With an emphasis on worldwide, up-to-date performance statistics, EADNI ensures that no talent is left out, keeping deserving players in the limelight and on the lists of top football clubs.

ngl it makes me want to die a little bit that it's so often trans people who feel that sex is mutable but oppression is always-forever based on asab in ways that allow them to demand that information from other trans people. like it feels fucking bad. it feels bad when it's people holding up someone who posts a lot of selfies as transition goals to a degree they have to clarify what they have or haven't done or what "direction" they're going in, it feels worse when people are out there like "caster semenya is not tma" or whatever the fuck. i am, as always, not a trans woman, but here's a sentiment echoed by many of the trans women around me who log the fuck off, quoted directly from one: "people who draw a clear line where they say that semenya or khelif are tme and then call me tma are just calling me male at this point".

like i get it. i really do. we seek community and shared experiences, and we feel betrayed when people have less in common with us than we thought they did. [*more on this later.] but that's not those people's faults and my god in the case i'm seeing play out on twitter rn this poor person did absolutely nothing to intentionally mislead people, just posted pictures of their actual kid self. who looks a lot like i did, because shockingly enough "we can always tell" doesn't fucking work for trans people either!

on the one hand i move in intersex circles which are unapologetically welcoming in cis "dyadic" people with pcos, because it serves nobody to draw a clear line where mutilation or genetics or some ineffable childhood suffering are what make somebody intersex, especially when most of us (esp in places like nz) have never been karyotyped and are being treated for symptoms without a pinned-down cause anyway. the more of us there are the stronger we are, the more pressure we can exert on a medical profession which doesn't like to consider how common outliers are, how uneasy sex is at all. and then on the other hand there's dyadic trans people on the internet who've yelled me out of spaces because a couple of traumatised incarcerated trans women i worked with as a prison abolitionist assumed i was also a trans woman and i didn't immediately tell them my entire csa-involved history of being sexed in varying ways as an infant and child and/or exactly how big my phallus was at birth or where in my junk config my urethra lives so they could decide i was tme or whatever.

returning to the * for a related but not identical thought: i think presuming shared experiences leads to some fucked shit in general! "oh we all had a radfem phase" or "oh we all were channers" no we fucking weren't and it's particularly obnoxious when me & mine are trying to build trans community locally to organise and resist the growing wave of far-right backlash against our existence, and there's just white people in there on a spectrum from "straight up being antisemitic and trying to get the n-word pass" through "handwringing about how they need to make space for people who aren't politically correct" to "handwringing about how brown people are right to be mad at them but doing shit fuckall". and then the other fucking brown people in the space are on some identity politics shit where they're like "trans joy inherently excludes those of us who could get deported" or "big city white queers are killing us by being visible instead of going stealth bc it stirs up the discourse" or whatever the fuck i've heard pulled out this year. there's a bunch of reasons i primarily organise outside of trans spaces and that's one of them. i've never felt more alone in spaces where people claim we're all the same than being left as the brownest moderator or organiser in a space full of people to whom "this is a safe trans space" apparently means they get to abdicate all other responsibilities not to lapse into presumed shared patterns that are fucking racist or otherwise alienating. i've never felt more alone than surrounded by exclusively trans people who sort people into boxes and assume everyone in those boxes has the transition goals they have. like i was on cypro until it disagreed with me to the point of endocrine crisis and now i'm on t and at both those points people were so fucking presumptive or entitled to my reasons or journey or personal relationship w my body

literally just submitted on (and was invited to consult on) the nz law commission's review of the human rights act and like. it's straight up fucked how many nz trans people fully do not comprehend that any "sex assigned at birth" type definitions fundamentally exclude migrants who have no way of proving it and many intersex people who happen to have been reassigned later or many times or never assigned at all as a baby. we can't make law with this shit and that's why we have to have symmetrical protections for all genders/sexes/expressions/presentations, bc naming and defining a protected class here often leaves the people who already are left out from those shared experiences of marginalisation out in the cold when they face violence
