Ted Knutson's career tracks a remarkable arc: professional gambler at Pinnacle, architect of Brentford's analytics-driven recruitment model, founder of StatsBomb — built from a blog written during cancer recovery into a global data company sold to Hudl in 2024 — and now Strategic Director of Football at Crux, Bex Smith's women's multi-club platform, while running The Transfer Flow newsletter and podcast. This is a conversation about what data actually means when real money is on the line, and what happens when you try to port a proven model into entirely new territory.In this episode:Why the football media's early hostility to analytics was really about power, not methodologyThe betting-to-football pipeline: transfers are just bets on humans with a longer cycleWhat StatsBomb's sale to Hudl reveals about consolidation risk in sports dataWhy professionalising operations matters more than data sophistication in women's football right nowThe three layers of data application in sport — and where the real edge lives nextTransfers as hope: why fan demand for transfer content is really about optimismUnofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

With all of us Celtic fans reeling from boardroom chaos and transfer frustration, this week's Huddle Breakdown Interview offers a welcome break from the turmoil. James sits down with Ted Knutson — co-founder of StatsBomb and pioneer in football analytics — for a wide-ranging interview. Ted shares his journey from gambling at Pinnacle to reshaping recruitment at clubs like Brentford and Brighton, explains why set pieces and throw-ins can “break the game,” and compares the analytics adoption curve in football and the NFL. They also cover Tony Bloom's brilliance at Brighton and USG, the 49ers' influence at Leeds, and what Celtic could learn from smarter clubs abroad.

Welcome dear listener to the latest episode. I'm Paul and I am joined by Sean and Daz. The Reds win at Bournemouth. Still top of the Premier League with a game in hand - 6 from Arsenal, 9 from Forest and 13 from Chelsea and 15 from City and Newcastle. We'll review the PSV game and mostly look at Bournemouth, with a look ahead at the next 2 weeks.Part One - PSV Eindhoven: xG 1.32 to 1.61 (0.76 penalty)Frustrating, because a draw would put them in the mix for the round of 16 tie against us. Conceding in the 6th minute of 4 minutes of added time in the first half was frustrating.Some good signs - Chiesa, McConnell and Andy Robertson. However Quansah - oof. Elliott - what do we think? Danns….Finishing first - yawn….Part Two - Bournemouth away revised Fotmob xG 1.58 to 2.52 (.76 for the penalty) but Opta has it at 1.00 to 2.66. Statsbomb somewhere in between.Kepa and the nightmare for him that is Mohamed Salah. Thinking Chelsea Kop end 2019. 21 PL goals this season, passes Lampard to go 6th on the all time PL list - 178, 6 behind Aguero. Moving closer to 3rd on Liverpool's all time list - 236 - 241 is the next milestone (Gordon Hodgson - played between 1925 and 1935)..Narrative nationally that we were lucky and that it's been easy…TAW game review suggested the Match of the Day reporting was rather like NBC's highlights. They hit the post twice, missed an open goal, should have had a penalty, we should not have had a penalty…They had spells, but we had longer ones - in the first half, Trent, Dom could easily have scored.Part Three - 14/15 games left. The mighty Arsenal win the champions league against City (oh wait)56 points - 7 wins against lower table opposition (6 at home and Leicester away_ would yield 21 points. 77 with 8 other games to play. 3 other wins takes us to 86. Arsenal could get to 92, but you feel that emotion cannot sustain them.Over-emotional FCHow many wins do we think?Spurs Plymouth, Everton. Lineups and predictionsWe will be back the week after February 12th with a review of Spurs and Plymouth Argyle and then Everton away.Thanks to Sean and Daz for joining me, Paul.

Welcome dear listener to the latest episode. I'm Paul and I am joined by Daz. The Reds had a win away at Brighton last week, followed by 2 very big wins. We will look ahead to Villa at home - the last game before the 3rd international break. Part One - 2 games against Brighton: Brighton away in the Carabao Cup - 3-2, could have been comfortable with Jarrell's few moments Brighton at home - xG 1.65 to 1.01 (0.71 to 0.77) Game of 2 halves - first half we look slow, poorly shaped and lacking some energy. 9th minute Darwin chance. 14th minute we look as outnumbered as we have at any time this season (Mitoma?). Second half looked immediately different, then by 69, we were ready to take over the game. Estupian was man of the match until he wasn't. Subs at 66 were huge - Jones and DIaz. But chances had started to flow (Gomes, VVD, Mo). Gakpo, vintage Salah (164 EPL goals now) and the Kop. The high press. Joe Gomez was magnificent. Endo then helps close the game down. Part Two - Leverkusen: 4-0 over the German champions - xG 3.79 to 0.80 (0.63 v 0.16 first half). Statsbomb has 2.9 for Liverpool 3rd defeat in 18 months for Leverkusen Very even in the first half - you could see why they have been hard to beat. Lots of intricate movement. Second half, the Curtis pass to Luis Diaz was the trigger Second goal again within 5 minutes;  Now Liverpool are 93.3% chance of finishing in the top 8 Part Three - Villa at home brings us to the end of this difficult spell: Narratives Villa are quietly in a slump Team selection  Prediction We will be back next week with a review of the Villa game. Thanks to Daz. for joining me, Paul. And most of all, thank you dear listener for joining us. If you enjoyed the pod, please share it with a friend.

Welcome dear listener to the latest episode of the 6th season of the pod. I'm Paul and I am joined by Daz, and Justin. And we are 3 for 3, as the Reds went to Old Trafford win 3-0 and we looked good. We will go into detail on the game, we will preview the United game and will look elsewhere at the weekend and what else is happening in the footy world. Part One - United away: xG might not be the most useful: United 1.38 total, - Statsbomb - .98? - 0.08 at half time Liverpool 1.78 total - 0.69 at half time. BUT xGoT 2.44 to 0.64. Overall 30 to 31 touches in the opposition box (favors United) - 16 to 9 at half time. BUT look at the position data - so interesting….. First Half: United set up differently - Slot explain the 7/11 press of last season and the 9/10 press (without the man marking) 5 minutes - so close to that iconic Scouser kisses the camera moment - VVD and Ryan fantastic movement.  At 35 - Caesmiro took the hit, but Mainoo, Mazouri, and Dalot positioning. One missed pass should not kill you. 42 - Luis Diaz interception - Casemiro falls down, thought Taylor would give a foul. Salah has Dalot backing off, Diaz first time shot. Second half 56 - Mainoo dispossessed by the least noticeable of our midfielders (Alexis) sweeping movement and a first time finish - Szobo and Salah. Game over at 59 minutes. Jota and Szobozlai chances didn't even count for xG Salah had a couple of great chances -  Game management - United had more chances, but it felt like we could step up a gear if we needed to. Salah… unbelievable consistency. Fantastic Michael Cox article breaking down how his dribbles have fallen off while his assists have dramatically increased - now ONLY De Bruyne has more since Mo started in the league. 10 goals at Old Trafford - top 5 in goals at OT in the time he's played? We are just better than them, player by player. Harder challenges to follow (Slot) Part Two - previewing Forest and Milan away: Team selection - same again?  Forest - what to expect? Less signings than usual? Formation against a team with one of the lowest xGAs in the fledgling PL season (2.1) ? Milan - what kind of rotation? Predictions Part Three - Elsewhere: Everton - a real crisis? Chelsea - ownership crisis? Leicester - can't be found guilty because they were relegated - what a wheeze We will be back in just over a week with a review of the Forest game. Thanks to Justin and Daz for joining me, Paul.

O 4º episódio do Data Footure analisa minuciosamente o relatório publicado pelo Statsbomb comparando ligas pelo mundo utilizando a temporada 2021/22 como parâmetro. Caio e Hugo comentam sobre cada uma das métricas analisadas: Chutes, posse, dribles e pressão. O artigo mostra como o Brasil se assemelha em termos de posse ao estilo de jogo praticado na europa e tem estilo completamente antagônico a ligas como da Argentina e Uruguai. Em termos de finalização, temos uma média de gols melhor que as outras da América Latina, mas ainda atrás das top5, no entanto sem muita qualidade por finalização. Em termos de pressão, o Brasileirão aparece como uma liga muito passiva, principalmente se comparada com outras ligas na américa latina. Link do relatório: https://statsbomb.com/wp-content/uplo...
