  • Chapter Iv Individual Player Contributions in European Soccer
    Guy Wilkinson PhD Thesis (2017) CHAPTER IV INDIVIDUAL PLAYER CONTRIBUTIONS IN EUROPEAN SOCCER ABSTRACT This paper looks at applying new techniques to predict match outcomes in professional soccer. To achieve this models are used which measure the individual contributions of soccer players within their team. Using data from the top 25 European soccer leagues, the individual contribution of players is measured using high dimensional fixed effects models. Nine years of results are used to produce player, team and manager estimates. A further year of results is used to check for predictive accuracy. Since this has useful applications in player scouting the paper will also look at how well the models rank players. The findings show an average prediction rate of 45% with all methods showing similar rankings for player productivity. While the model highlights the most productive players there is a bias towards players who produce and prevent goals directly. This results in more attackers and defenders ranking highly than midfield players. There is potential for these techniques to be used against the betting market as most models produce better performance than many betting firms. Guy Wilkinson PhD Thesis (2017) 1. INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on producing models with a high prediction rate in professional soccer. The main challenge is to produce accurate estimations of player ability, a problem analogous to research on worker productivity. The study of worker productivity is of great value to businesses in almost every industry. Hiring the best workers will improve the overall performance of business and increase profit. It is of great importance for firms to be able to screen potential employees efficiently to determine their value.
