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

Barcelona delivered a commanding performance in their La Liga clash against Real Oviedo, securing a 3-0 victory at home. This result was largely expected given Barcelona's superior squad depth and form. The Catalan giants dominated the game, showcasing their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. The match saw Barcelona break the deadlock in the 52nd minute with a goal from Dani Olmo (GAP +3.5%), who capitalized on a well-orchestrated team move. Just five minutes later, Raphinha (GAP +7.8%) doubled the lead, further asserting Barcelona's control over the match. The final nail in the coffin came in the 73rd minute when young sensation Lamine Yamal (GAP +9.8%) added a third, sealing a comprehensive victory for the home side. Barcelona's lineup featured no changes from their previous outing, indicating a stable selection strategy by the coaching staff. In contrast, Real Oviedo made several substitutions during the match, bringing in experienced players like Santi Cazorla and Josip Brekalo in an attempt to shift the game's momentum, albeit unsuccessfully. Key performances were highlighted by Robert Lewandowski (GAP +6.7%), who, despite not scoring, played a pivotal role in linking up play and creating opportunities. Eric García (GAP +7.3%) was instrumental in maintaining a clean sheet, showcasing his defensive capabilities. This victory solidifies Barcelona's position in the upper echelons of the La Liga table, continuing their strong run of form. For Real Oviedo, the defeat underscores the challenges they face in competing against top-tier teams, as they remain in the lower half of the standings. Post-match reactions praised Barcelona's fluid attacking play and the emerging talent of Lamine Yamal, who continues to impress with his performances. The result leaves Barcelona well-positioned to challenge for the title, while Real Oviedo will need to regroup and focus on upcoming fixtures to improve their league standing.

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.
