@@TheMolloVision basically you have 2 strikers who’ve played the same minutes and taken the same shots. Joe scored 15 while Seb has scored 5. The important difference, however, is that Joe has been over preforming based on his expected stats, while Seb has been underperforming. The stat used on the example was xG, which indicates how many goals a player should have scored based on the shots they’ve taken. Joe has scored 15 goals from 10xg, meaning he might have been luck and faces weaker sides. Meanwhile Seb has 5 goals from 12 xG, meaning he’s been unlucky. What the example is saying is that a striker can get lucky and score 15 goals when they aren’t that good, while another player can go under the radar and only score 5 despite being the better player. You can then use this to buy the player who’s under the radar for cheaper. Brentford have done this a lot which has lead to massive profits, such as Watkins, Benrahma, Maupay and Konsa. All established premier league players Brentford acquired for cheap and sold for a high price. Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask me about anything.

Low walk percentages, good predictive stats. thats ultimately what caused their success in the regular season. and 2002, which is the season that is being focused on, wasnt even the start of the moneyball movement. rather DePodesta and Beane had been employing this style of sabrmetrics lead management since 1998. which is why their homegrown talent was able to produce to their system.

Don’t forget also the point in the video about having the right players around them to help create higher quality chances in good positions for that particular striker. It’s a team game, which is sometimes forgotten and why we’ve seen countless big money signings not able to cut it in the Premier League, especially when they come from leagues that aren’t as fast or physical. It’s possible that the striker who’s scored fewer goals is taking lots of shots from distance to mount up that xG total, e.g. as a result of the way the team plays. If a buying club sees that on the rare occasions the same player takes a shot closer in, it has an unusually high chance of resulting in a goal compared to other available players, they could find themselves a bargain fox in the box, provided they have the other forward players to get the ball into the right areas. In Brentford’s case, the club’s set up with the long term in mind and they’ve been at this to some degree for about ten years now. That’s why a new signing is usually met with “who?” and the player’s often given a lot of time playing matches with the B team or in cups than being immediately thrown into the deep end of the PL or Championship and expected to score or create 20 goals.

how so? - I don´t get the joke :)

In the mid 1980s one successful football club was applying adapted cricket statistic type analysis to its team. It brought in the best coach as they were relatively undervalued vs players but he and his staff would increase the net player value through tactics, nutrition, psychology (from cricket and athletics), training academy etc...This then led to bigger stadiums were were treated as property and shopping ventures (businesses in themselves) and ultimately mutli-sport franchise. This was over 30 years ago and well ahead of its time. I recall one striker they purchased cheaply as his goal tally was something like 8 in 30 games but this was due how he was being used as a target man for the smaller striker to score off (32 goals in 30 matches). This was only uncovered through repeated scouting. Changing the role of the striker created 22 goals in 30 games. They also used loans and player swaps to enhance the team and a higher profile B team through a big squad to create internal competition

Stats don’t reveal all - you need to mesh them with traditional methods.

Wow, so wonderful video. Many more clubs should do this.

Their set piece or arial threat is no joke. All the shots that Mendy saved against Brentford came in either from a long throw or an ariel ball into Penalty area. One reason why Brentford found it relatively easy to do that is the absence of Rudiger in these situations. In all the ariel balls, it was Malang Sarr who was required to task marking the players and he did miss two such opportunities, forcing strong saves from Mendy.

You’re all right. One statistic tells you nothing but for this example they would’ve been better off highlighting the other player as an option with superior finishing skills. In actual practice they would start by figuring out the profile of player they want e.g. a target man capable of working hard and pressing in defence. They would then identify several data points which should indicate whether a player fits this mould and how well. Triangulating all of these metrics they would then easily be able to filter the top flights in the world to finish with a list of names which fit the profile. Then the final step would be the traditional scouting method of watching them play to determine if the statistics painted an accurate picture

It's not just about collecting stats, it is mainly about how you interpret them.

It's not really possible to just adopt it.

Working in one department but having no interaction with the rest of the company.

I see a lot of videos and articles about Brentford, but Brighton have been using a very similar playbook.

One big difference is that Brighton have invested heavily in their academy while Brentford ditched theirs entirely.

When I was a kid there were fan groups outside collecting donations after games, there was a real sense the club was dead on its feet.

It definitely can be interpreted the way you suggest, I think the way they’re interpreting it though is that the player with higher xG only has room to improve, where as the one with lower xG is already over performing and unlikely to get better. So if making a purchasing decision you will go for the one that the data suggests has more scope for improvement, especially if they’re a lot cheaper on the market. The fact is, the models available to Brentford given the owners background will be massively more complex than that. We wouldn’t have much of a clue so Tifo had to come up with something even if it isn’t perfect.

More the Houston Astros, I.e. like Tampa, but because they are in the London area, and a growing part of London at that, as time goes on you will start see more player retention for key players - like say Toney and Raya - on top of its normal approach and as success builds within the premier League you might see them shift money around for a short term high impact player like a Verlander was in the transfer window because the pay out for winning the league or getting into the champions league is that significant. Leicester and Brighton are comparable to the Rays and A’s because even if they do well, where they are is limiting to their growth in competing with winning against the top 6 regularly rather than simply competing

@@DT-bp2om I've always felt the shirts from my home league(Norwegian league) are so awful. They just scream low budget. Everything from the color paleet to the pattern. But I think much of the reason is also that they are filled to the brim with sponsors, unlike many premier League clubs that have only one giant sponsor like the Emirates or Nike.

Rasmus has a great ted talk on this

But isn’t the fact that Seb scored only 5 out of an xG of 12 indicative of his wastefulness in front of goal, and the fact that Joe exceeded his xG means that he is a great poacher.

My thoughts exactly. xG, to me, is something that is higher if your midfield/wingers are good, because they provide high quality chances. The mark of a good striker would be his goals in EXCESS of his xG, which would indicate his ability to either finish good chances or create goals out of poor ones.

The man in the thumbnail is Billy Beane played by Brad Pitt. Billy tried to assemble a base ball team on a lean budget by playing the moneyball. Since then moneyball is revolutionized by the low budget teams. If yoy want to know more about it, watch Moneyball movie.

Great video 👍

My mom dated Billie Beane he went to Mt Carmel High School in San Diego, he invited me and my sister to be extras in the movie lol. Crazy how much of an impact one guy has had on sports around the world

Sleep Expert? ... Wow, I think I've finally the career that I was born to do... thanks for this TIFO!

Another club in Europe do the same : Midjylland, in Denmark, own by the same people The owners use very unorthodox method, like to recruit a player, talk in forum of the club to the fans their opinion withe the player As the owner say "Moneyballa is just about have the more information possible in order to take the best decision"

they're mentioned throughout the video, they're linked to Brentford through the owner and some of the staff.

Been saying to myself for weeks how it's uncharacteristic of Tifo to take this long to make a video on Brentford

Would be cool to look at the model FSG does VS Brentford. Obviously vastly different $$ but same concept

We need videos like this before the season starts. Not after success.

The best thing Brentford (I’ll also add Brighton into this as well) is not to become the next Leicester or Southampton two clubs that were run really well at the end of the 2010s that are now playing efl football

Liverpool don't really use this approach. In the premier League it's only Brentford and Brighton, both with English owners who bought their boyhood clubs. The Brentford owner worked for the Brighton owner, took a load of his secrets after an argument and began his own data company.

Not really true, the data that's a available online are basic and simplified. Also, SABR is quite simple, because the goal of Motorsports is simple: go fast. Football has a less obvious goal in terms of what is good, which makes making data usage a bit harder.

Brentford appointing specialist coaches who have no history with the club, while United do the exact opposite. Figure that one out!

theyre targeted for skill, our manager was the former assistant manager. United are a team that appoint people based on hype rather than ability. Sancho is a good example, a good stint in an overrated league and people go wild and throw money at him, he was a £20m at best and they paid £50m lol

The same problems with Arsenal. Zidane, and the Barca coaches aside I can’t see any other time when appointing former players as managers worked a treat. Ole, Arteta, Gattuso, Maradona with Argentina all seem very abysmal.

Hey Tifo can you try explaining why there's so much crowd disruption at Ligue 1 games recently?

The video needs a better description of what 'expected goals actually means. Otherwise, perfect as usual.
