Artificial Intelligence puts the notes of the first round

With the Kings on the way, there are eleven LaLiga players who can breathe easy: they will have gifts. After the dispute of the first 19 days it is time to take stock and Artificial Intelligence has been the best eleven of what we have this season after a detailed evaluation of all the players based on the value they bring to their team.

A) Yes, Vinicius is presented as an advantageous student (with a value of 11), being the MVP of this first round. Meanwhile, in the ideal eleven of Olocip’s tool, they also appear, as footballers with the greatest contribution to their teams Dimitrievski (Rayo), Aleix Vidal (Espanyol), Pau Torres (Villarreal), David García (Osasuna), Álex Moreno (Betis), Juanmi (Betis), Busquets (Barcelona), Lemar (Atlético), Benzema (Real Madrid) and Gerard Moreno (Villarreal).

Thus, Real Madrid (leader), Betis (3º) and Villarreal (8th), with two footballers, are the clubs that contribute the most players to this ideal eleven. There is also the presence of Atlético (4º), Barcelona (5º) and lightning (6th), the most prominent absence being that of Sevilla (2nd). In the Seville team, individualities do not stand out, but the fact of being the set that best counteracts its rivals, which on average (5’68) generate very little value when they face those of Lopetegui.

Objective data based on the quality of the actions

And it is that to assess the performance of the First team players in these 19 days, quantitative data (number of goals, shots, passes …) must be taken into account, but also qualitative data, the impact that each player has with their Actions. In this sense, Artificial Intelligence is the only technology capable of taking objective conclusions based on the quality of the actions and not on the quantity.

To do this, Olocip has used its AI model in which Stock value offers a new dimension of player performance analysis. From the comparison of the added value of each player in a match or competition the most outstanding players are identified. Additionally, the value can be added by type of action (passes, shots, recoveries, etc.) to identify the strengths and weaknesses of players and teams.

And how is this value calculated? Taking into account each action of the game in terms of the change in the probability that the team in possession of the ball will score on that play or receive a goal in the next⁣ and the moment of the match in which they occur.
