This methodology has proved to be useful in measuring the economic value of intangible talent in professional sport and in other entertainment industries. In our estimations – and in the elaboration of the rankings – two elements are taken into consideration: popularity (degree of interest aroused between the fans and the general public) and media value (the level of attention that the mass media pays). The calculations may be made at specific points in time during a season, or accumulating the news generated during a particular period: weeks, months, years, etc. Additionally, the homogeneity amongst the measurements allows for a comparison of the media value status of individuals, teams, institutions, etc. Together with the measurements and rankings, our database allows us to conduct analyses on a wide variety of economic and business problems: estimates of the market value (or “fair value”) of players’ transfer fees; calculation of the brand value of individuals, teams and leagues; valuation of the economic return from alliances between sponsors; image rights contracts of athletes and teams; and a great deal more.

  • Matt, a Lot Has Happened Since We Last Spoke, Not
    A month ago, Premier League Chaplain Matt Baker, picked out two teams he said would do well at Euro 2020… England and Italy! Given he clearly knows his stuff, we caught up with him again as those teams prepare to contest Sunday’s final. Matt Baker Matt, a lot has happened since we last spoke, not least England have reached their first major tournament final in 55 years! Where will you be watching Sunday’s final? I’ve watched every game at home with my family and this will be the same. In the past we’ve organised Euro/World Cup parties in my garden and watched on a screen with friends and then partied into the night. Obviously Covid-19 has prevented that this time so it will be me, my wife and three boys watching it together. What have you made of the tournament overall? I’ve really enjoyed the whole tournament, not just the England games. I think the standard of football has been generally very good and enjoyable to watch. The refereeing has also been of a high standard throughout. There has obviously been the odd decision debated and disagreed with but I don’t recall lengthy discussions around VAR (video assistant referee) or how a referee has ruined the game. You predicted England would do well and now they are in the final! - Have they ridden their luck at times? England certainly haven’t disappointed! I don’t think it has been luck at all, we’ve played very well at times, approached every game professionally and Gareth Southgate’s decisions all seem to have paid off so far.

  • Player Chemistry: Striving for a Perfectly Balanced Soccer Team
    Player Chemistry: Striving for a Perfectly Balanced Soccer Team 1 1,2 Lotte Bransen ​ ‒ Jan Van Haaren 1 ​ 2 ​ S​ ciSports, The Netherlands ‒ K​ U Leuven, Belgium ​ {l.bransen, j.vanhaaren}@scisports.com 1. Introduction In the dying hours of the 2010/2011 winter transfer window, Liverpool signed Andy Carroll from Newcastle United. Although The Reds had to break their transfer record, Carroll never met the ​ expectations. The forward, who had scored 11 goals in 19 matches for The Magpies in the first half ​ of the season, managed just 6 goals from 44 appearances for Liverpool. The then-22-year-old Carroll is a tall target man thriving from crosses, but Liverpool did not play that way and also did not have the appropriate players in their squad to accommodate his preferred playing style. In contrast, the more mobile Luis Suárez, who was signed on the same day and gelled much better with the players surrounding him on the pitch, scored 69 goals in 110 matches for Liverpool. Although this example illustrates the importance of chemistry among players, recruitment departments at soccer clubs still largely ignore this aspect in their evaluation of potential signings. Typically, scouts solely focus on the individual qualities of potential signings and do not account for the team balance and team chemistry in their judgments on the players. On one hand, assessing the potential chemistry with the players who are already on their team is hard by watching a limited number of matches either on tape or live in the stadium. On the other hand, existing soccer analytics tools that can process large volumes of match data mostly focus on evaluating the individual performances of players.
