FOR the first time, the Premier League is providing its clubs with synchronised tracking and event data in what has been described as a “democratisation of data”.
The new Insight Feed is a collaboration between Second Spectrum, the league’s official tracking data provider, and Stats Perform, its event data provider.
This is a significant development as it allows ALL clubs access to a new set of metrics, such as shot velocity, pass probability and pressure on the ball. To date, only a handful of clubs, such as Liverpool, have had the resources and expertise to merge event and tracking data.
