About Us

We believe the individual impact of football players cannot be measured by vanity metrics like goals, passes, tackles won or possession. Real team players influence besides their own metrics especially their team members, their opponents and as a final output the game result directly and indirectly. This is what Football GAP is about.

Game Review

Inter Milan delivered a commanding performance in their Serie A clash against Sassuolo, securing a resounding 5-0 victory. This result was not entirely unexpected given Inter's strong form and Sassuolo's struggles this season. Inter Milan, who have been in excellent form, demonstrated their attacking prowess and defensive solidity throughout the match. The game began with Inter Milan asserting their dominance early on. Yann Bisseck opened the scoring in the 11th minute, setting the tone for the rest of the match. Marcus Thuram doubled the lead in the 28th minute, giving Inter a comfortable advantage heading into halftime. The second half saw Inter continue their offensive onslaught. Lautaro Martínez added a third goal in the 50th minute, effectively putting the game out of reach for Sassuolo. Just four minutes later, Manuel Akanji found the back of the net, further extending Inter's lead. The match took a decisive turn when Sassuolo's Nemanja Matic received a red card in the 54th minute, leaving his team with ten men and little hope of mounting a comeback. Inter Milan's tactical setup was spot on, with their manager making effective use of his substitutes. Davide Frattesi and Matteo Darmian were introduced to maintain the team's momentum and secure the clean sheet. Sassuolo, on the other hand, struggled to cope with Inter's intensity and were unable to make any significant impact despite bringing on Woyo Coulibaly and Luca Lipani. This victory solidifies Inter Milan's position in the upper echelons of the Serie A table, while Sassuolo's woes continue as they remain in the lower half. The result highlights the gap in quality between the two sides and underscores Inter's credentials as title contenders this season.

What is GAP?

What is Plus Minus Goals (G±)?

Plus Minus Goals (G±) is the average goal difference per game while the player was on the pitch. A value above 0 indicates that the team rather wins, a value below 0 means his team concedes more goals than they score when the player is on the pitch. As an example, if the player's team is winning 3:1 the goal difference is +2, if the player's team is loosing 0:1, the goal difference is -1. It is a pure metric which is barely adjusted for circumstances to purely show the goal difference.

What is GAP?

GAP (Game Advantage Percentage) shows the percentage gap between a player and the average league player. It answers the question: How much does a player improve or worsen a team's performance? It is based on high level game data with a focus on the impact on the goal difference (G±) from the last 50 games of a player. Besides that, GAP goes further and considers game context by involving data from the player and all other players who are at the same time on the pitch, no matter if teammates or opponents. Football GAP - the individual metric for team players.
