First I will show-off the post-match analysis. By using player tracking data, we have created a tool which replays a full match from start to finish on 2D tactics board. This allows coaches to have a simple and digestible overview on player performance and team tactics.

Secondly, the in-game tool observations gives the coaches an extra pair of eyes, using data live from the game. A live-feed will make data-led observations every minute, that may be hard to see with the human eye. The feed posts the most anomalous observation every minute.

@SRFootball_ @CelticFC @LiviFCOfficial @DundeeFC Last year I was in the process of comparing this to the Opta and FiveThiryEight simulations for last season, however got side tracked. I think I remember the models being somewhat similar, however their models were less certain and had a more general spread.

The above results are based on a number of different factors - one being the difficulty of remaining opponents. I assume that it is this factor that makes the simulations give Bochum and Hertha the edge over Hoffenheim in the relegation battle.

What I'm trying to say, is that we should all models with a pinch of salt - they are just a bit of fun. They all use different data and methods, and it's interesting to compare them and see why they may differ. No model can be inherently 'right or wrong'.

@SRFootball_ @CelticFC @LiviFCOfficial @DundeeFC It would be interesting to compare the models! I kept this model simple (no xG, etc) in order to allow me to run it on smaller leagues where I don't have xG data - I would expect the NP xG model to outperform this.

Currently running updated La Liga simulations. Spoiler; Barcelona and Madrid are favourites 😮 If anyone has any requests for leagues let me know! The nice thing about this model is that it works on any league out there.

Chucked in this weekends SPL games into my machine learning model, here are its predictions: Celtic v Aberdeen — 3-0 Hibs v Kilmarnock — 1-1 Dundee United v St Johnstone — 2-2 Livingston v Rangers — 1-1 St Mirren v Ross County — 1-0 Motherwell v Hearts — 0-1

Interesting to see that these results are somewhat similar to mine, even though I use a very alternative method to @FiveThirtyEight . The main difference is their probability for West Ham - this will mostly likely be because they use the SPI index in their simulations.

Who are your tips to beat relegation this season? Using @FiveThirtyEight 's model, I looked at each side's form to see who should be worried, and who might have some hope. For @TheAthleticFC :

Poland now only ahead on conduct! (They currently have 4 yellow cards, Mexico have 7) #MEXKSA #POLARG

Commentators again getting it wrong, saying “If Argentina score one more, Poland drop to 3rd”. This isn’t true, as the goals scored will be equal, as well as the head to head - it then comes down to least number of yellow/red cards, which Poland are winning. #POLARG #MEXKSA

@SleepyTt95 @EredivisieEN @Feyenoord @SCCambuurLwd @FCGroningen_EN @RKCWAALWIJK (For weird reasons) I use this website for my raw data, so it just takes most of their formatting (with a couple changes). I’ll change this stuff up for the next Eredivisie simulations - cheers for pointing this out!

Update: In future models, only one model will be created and used in all simulations. This significantly reduces the time-per-simulation, and gives very similar results.

2. Bournemouth are looking a lot safer - with only a 33% chance of going down compared to 61% last week. Weirdly, they came 6th in one simulation, by winning 13 of their last 15 games... technically possible, but very very unlikely. Especially with their tough run-in.

#LaLiga simulated 2550 times! - @GironaFC still win the title in 14% of simulations - @AthleticClub break into the Top 4 42% of the time - @RCCelta look likely to avoid relegation - @UDAlmeria_Eng only stay up in a one single simulation

As per @Jon_Mackenzie 's idea a couple days ago, here are two identical simulations of the remaining SPL season with ONE difference: - The first one uses a model trained solely on SPL data - The second uses a model trained on EPL and SPL data 'Model' = Deep Neural Network (AI)

A rough look at the difficulty of each teams remaining opponents. Take this with a pinch of salt - this is a just a quick index I created based off of current league positions of opponents (the machine learning will teach itself this).
