The one who can combine both will create the most successful teams

The fact that Haaland is going to man city and that the Ai was correct that tell us a lot

Artificial intelligence will never be able to tell if a player has a bad influence in the locker room! I think human scouting is always better, but u can always combine both and make it perfect( just like AC Milan do)

Vardy's pace was phenomenal

Great video! Realistically, algorithms will takeover all forms of thinking in the future. It's already happening in just about every online platform.

It’s not a case of one or the other. Both can be combined and used effectively but their pros and cons have to be considered. Pros of scouting: You can observe psychological factors, how they operate within the team and whether they would fit into your clubs culture or philosophy. Whilst Neymar is of course better than probably all of city and Liverpools front three he just wouldn’t suit the environments which the management have built over the years and thus become less effective. A player may not have a great number of statistics to observe but they pass the eye test based on things like first touch, positioning and awareness and other mental/technical aspects which can’t be measured. Cons of scouting: Biases i.e. certain coaches or scouts may prefer to sign players from a similar country or background as them. Hype, we see a lot of players signed because they’re in hot form but they don’t actually suit the system or style of the team they’re joining. Pros of Analysis: Very objective. Statistics and numbers don’t lie or have biases, allows your to measure how efficient a player is and rank or compare them against others. Cons of Analysis: Very objective so as mentioned it doesn’t take into account personality, style& technique which are all important factors. The criteria for certain stats are not clear I.e. “key passes” or “goal scoring chance” because these things can vary player for player. 5-10 yards of space outside of the box is a goal scoring chance for someone like KDB but not for someone like Jorginho.

Mbappe has great chemistry with Benjamin Mendy, they should sign him

There’s also the club factor and how it’s run steave Walsh ex Leicester scout went to Everton I believe and let’s just say they didn’t bring the best players in, where as Leicester seem to be doing pretty good being very well run, think this should of been mentioned

Wenger clearly the greatest scouter ever among manager

I would love to say this techno mumbo jumbo and most projection than facts, but my club Liverpool did this and discovered Mane and Salah. They looked which players in Europe had the most successful dribbles, created the most chances, had a high goal to shot ratio and had a track record of hardly being injured, showing which players were most durable. Mane and Salah were the two players who topped the list for this criteria and he rest is history. The story goes Klopp wanted to buy Brandt for Liverpool using his Bundesliga knowledge and Liverpool's transfer committee and analysis team overruled Klopp and said Salah would be a better purchase statistically. That god for that for given how mediocre German players have been in the Premier League for the last 10 years.

algorithms cant factor in a players ability to adapt to different play styles .

Football Manager Game should add statistic if the player play with the same language, been playing together on the other team before and similar age for scouting report and also should consider that no every player stuck their development if they already past 24th years old

Wow pretty good job DW

people don't realize not all signings need not necessarily mean for sporting reasons, some are just for selling sponsorships, merchandise ,PR etc (commercial reasons). look at United's signings for example.

6:12 gotta lower Mbappe's score a bit since his old teammate, Benjamin Mendy is now officially signed for Prison FC

I can't understand why people want an AI Intelligence is the only thing that makes humans stand apart.We shouldn't try to create our own alternative

Didn't AI say that Germany would win the world Cup?

Scout looks from technical to attitude skills and how he work with others. AI could identify the skills and technical but not those attitude skills which is main thing in big club

It's about combining the two not using them separately

EA sports has always done this 👍

The ui is like FM

Just like Liverpool using Moneyball

It actually makes sense…better stats can probably be proportional to hard work

Toni* not Touni

Hi Jon Willis any chance you've scouted a midfielder for United? Our midfield is horrible and needed work since forever

Who is going to insert the data? Surely an AI will make it at players that play under camera. But what happens to newcomers?

A.i cannot predict off the field behaviour .example: Guendouzi

Mix both and you got the secret sauce

This man thinks he is playing Football Manager

All the best Jack to your football career

This video will bang

Might take over DW.

This reminds me of moneyball the movie !

Oh geez 🤦‍♀️

this is crazy

FM in real life.. Lmao

They will have to work in coordination. They can never replace people.

New Video lets gooo

it is always a false binary. Data can be really useful when it comes to signing players for the first team. But when it comes to signing players for the academy data has very little use since there is going to be very little data available.

no machine can replace monchi, the best ever

So "the wally with the brolly" was a trailblazer?

This gives me strong money ball vibes

AI didnt know Mahrez and Haaland get party together lol

Bruh this is football manager 😂

Now we can relate the movie moneyball to reality

When they said he is the regional scout for man united and I said oh wow that is why they buy everyone and never win

if HR are too lazy and need ATS system, i don't doubt algorithms to replace scouters

AI? I believe in a perfect blend of human knowledge and observations and AI assistance.

So basically AI is good for help but don't totally depend on it.

Haaland AND mbappe are coming to rma.

A simplified summary of Moneyball....,

Mbappe speaks English fluently wth 😂

Only parameter Manchester United will use is Instagram followers of players😂

Maybe it will be able to pick out potential stars when they're toddlers. not even joking.

this abacus program doesn't seem revolutionary at all. These are all considerations that have been being made for years in new signings. I'm extremely confused how this is changing the game. This IS where the game is. edit: in any well run club, I should add.

I think using Hazard as a viable example isn't particularly correct since at the time Hazard was at the peak of his career in his prime years, him getting the injuries he did isn't something humans nor AI can predict

FOOTBALL MANAGER

Lmao they just build the team with Ultimate Team in FIFA and call it an invention 😭😭💀🤣

7 months later and Haaland does hit the ground running (10 goals in 6 games for City)!

Might be SUPPORTING decisions but the AI is not always right: said Haaland is not compatible with the tactics of crosses and counter attacking?...any human could tell you that's so wrong!

Guardiola,not Guardioula!!!

Post a video about Riyad Mahrez's career and hashtag Mahrouz and Algeria and see the reaction ❤❤❤

What about does in Africa ?

the ai breakdown of the chemistry is nothing new, it's nothing an individual wouldn't be able to tell you, it's also incredibly easy to say that Erling Haaland will be exceptional in the premier league given the quality he brings, without data it doesn't tell us anything, it can't help us find a diamond in the rough

So there’s proof that this AI actually works. Hence, Manchester City and Haaland.

Let's be honest bayern and Liverpool they both using data and scout and now they are the best well managed teams in world right now I think real Madrid is starting to do the same because in recently years they are avoiding shitty transfers like hazard or not spending a lot like barça

Jesé*not Hézei and it's Rodríguez not Rodriguez

Is this paid promotion

BUT CAN AI PREDICT , WHICH CLUB HAALAND SHOULD GO TO FOR HIM TO BE THE BEST?

Iniesta has no stats and look at him. Stats don’t always speak for what’s going on in the pitch. Ai is just a support tool.

Something united started now utilized by Liverpool and City Karma is true

Liverpool Is the best Value for money buying $30-50 million Man city is the best if u are willing paying big buck $70-$80m Liverpool buy salah for $35million but they have the same quality as mancity players at $100m

Salah and firminho were signed to play together based off these metrics and numbers. Managers are over rated

Well, other than it stealing jobs, and it being prone to hacks... For heavy price... Which clubs actually do have resources for... And can't trace back.. it shouldnt be a problem... But then this would kill the human factor.... Of the game.. :p..

Meanwhile PSG wants all the top player whether they can defend or not or they fit in the coach's system. That shows how eager are they to win that Cl

SOULESS

I bet Halland can fit better than Kane

well, whatever you do and create, real people who enjoy good football will know who is a player and who's not. haaland doesn't look entertaining to me nor does mbappe(with psg) but i appreciate players like st maximin, mahrez, dembele and other ballers because no matter what the score is, entertainment is the goal in football and if you think else then you're a little stat kid and don't deserve a debate and all this is said by someone who is 17 so yh

Can AI help scouting? Have you ever played Football Manager? The answer is clearly no,

Was Ronaldo, Messi, KDB picked by AI? No.

No, AI will only improve scouting overall. There are so many variables that can inflate an algorithm’s predictions which would require human interference to steer the decision. How many ‘new Messis’ we’ve heard of in the last decade that failed to meet expectations in the last decade?

grealish with so much high rating is not that good in city

If that picture of the AI says Haaland is better than Mbappe, then that means AI isn't as intelligent as we thought.. Or maybe your just decided to use those graphics to influence us to think Haaland is better, which is an even bigger problem.

Mbappe speaks better English than Haaland
