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.

Preview for the game Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs FC Augsburg

Bayer 04 Leverkusen come into this Gameweek 30 clash in clearly stronger form, taking 9 points from their last five Bundesliga matches with two wins followed by three draws. FC Augsburg, by contrast, have collected only 2 points over the same span, drawing twice before three straight defeats. The Plus Minus model strongly favours a home win at 74%, with just an 18% chance of a draw and 8% for an Augsburg upset. Recent head-to-head data underlines Leverkusen’s edge despite Augsburg’s most recent success in the fixture. Augsburg won 2-0 at home on 6 December 2025, but Leverkusen had taken the previous three league meetings: 2-0 at home in April 2025, 2-0 away in December 2024, and 2-1 at home in May 2024. With Leverkusen expected to lean on key contributors such as Alex Grimaldo (GAP +5.3%) and the influential midfielder Robert Andrich (GAP +3.6%), the hosts look well placed to reassert control. Augsburg will need a disciplined display from their defensive core, including centre-back Cédric Zesiger (GAP -0.4%) and goalkeeper Finn Dahmen (GAP +0.2%), to tilt the probabilities away from the model’s strong home bias. Injuries and availability Leverkusen are without Martin Terrier, who is sidelined with a thigh muscle injury and is not expected back for around three weeks and three days. Arthur remains in build-up training after a syndesmosis tear and is projected to be out for roughly one month and two weeks. For Augsburg, Chrislain Matsima is in build-up training following a long-term absence; although he is now completing full team training, his official return timeline is still listed at about three months and six days, so he is unlikely to feature here.

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.
