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

In a crucial Serie A encounter, Roma secured a 2-0 victory over Torino on Sunday, 18 January 2026. This result was largely expected given Roma's superior form and league position. The match saw Roma capitalize on their chances, with goals from Donyell Malen (GAP +4.5%) and Paulo Dybala (GAP +2.0%) sealing the win. The game began with Roma asserting their dominance early on. Donyell Malen opened the scoring in the 26th minute, showcasing his clinical finishing ability. Torino struggled to respond effectively, and their attempts to break down Roma's defense were thwarted by a solid backline, including standout performances from Evan Ndicka (GAP +4.7%) and Gianluca Mancini (GAP +4.6%). Roma's tactical setup allowed them to control the midfield, with Bryan Cristante (GAP +2.6%) and Lorenzo Pellegrini (GAP +0.1%) orchestrating play effectively. Torino's midfield, led by Adrien Tameze (GAP -1.7%), found it difficult to gain a foothold in the game. The second half saw Torino attempt to push forward, but their efforts were in vain as Roma doubled their lead in the 72nd minute through Paulo Dybala. His goal was a testament to Roma's attacking prowess and further highlighted Torino's defensive vulnerabilities. Both teams made several substitutions, with Torino introducing Marcus Pedersen, Alieu Njie, Faustino Anjorin, and Cesare Casadei in an attempt to change the game's dynamics. Roma, on the other hand, brought in Matías Soulé, Robinio Vaz, Niccolò Pisilli, Daniele Ghilardi, and Kostas Tsimikas to maintain their grip on the match. This victory solidifies Roma's position in the upper echelons of the Serie A table, while Torino will need to regroup and address their defensive issues to improve their standing. The result reflects Roma's consistent form, as they continue to challenge for a top-four finish.

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.
