Scoutpanel is based on a proprietary set of metrics called EPI, which stands for Effective Performance Indicators. These metrics consider the exact position, importance and outcome of an event in evaluating player performance.
Every event is assigned a specific value depending on a variety of factors, which figures into a total score per category. This score is then converted into a 0-10 rating, where the boundaries are set by positive and negative benchmark performances within the group of players playing on the same position. The grading is centered on the 5 as much as possible, but performance distributions don’t always allow the rating center to be on an exact 5.
Every game with more than 20 minutes of playing time by a player is scaled to 90 minutes and then evaluated and rated individually for that player’s position, before this is averaged to a per game score in each performance category for every season and competition the player participated in. This overall score is not derived from an average of all category ratings, but based on the overall points score, which gives the different performance categories an inherent specific weight.
Scoutpanel is divided largely into three interfaces:
Player Profiles
Find new players, see their performance and compare them with others.Team Profiles
Compare your team to others, look into your next opponent and gain some new important knowledge.Matches
Find recent matches. compare the individual team performances and identify most important players.
There are two kinds of visualization repeatedly encountered within Scoutpanel: Polar charts and comparative bar charts.
Comparative Bar Chart
The bar charts are plotted with a worse-mean-better scale. The first bar shows the player’s rating and is colored green when his rating is above average for his position in the given competition in the selected season, and blue when his rating is below average. The second bar, the light gray one, shows that average rating he’s being measured against. The most-right bar shows the best player on that position with the competition and year.
Polar Chart
This chart plots the performance categories along their respective axes, which gives a quick impression of a player’s specific profile in regards to his strengths and weaknesses. The light gray dashed radar painted beneath the colored player profile as the average for that position in the given competition and season.
