Partnership with Impect: stars in the making

The CIES Football Observatory is delighted to announce a new partnership with the German data company Impect, a leader in the field of football analytics.

This partnership will enable us to develop exclusive content for our website and social media, providing football fans with free analysis of an unrivalled level of sophistication on the performance of clubs and players around the world.

A first example is already available in the 502nd Weekly Post, which presents the 100 outfield players who have not yet turned 20 from 45 leagues outside the big-5 with the best values in terms of Impect PxT (Packing Expected Threat model), weighted by the sporting level of the matches played according to this method.

The PxT measures the value of players’ actions in terms of increasing or decreasing the probability of scoring or conceding a goal.

Attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora (Porto), who turns 18 in a few days’ time, is top of the table.

The Portuguese is ahead of Argentinian Franco Mastantuono (River Plate) and his teammate Martim Fernandes.

The Post also presents the estimated transfer values of the players in the top 100, with a maximum of €52.7 million for Jorrel Hato (Ajax).

Only footballers who have played at least 450 minutes and 25% of domestic league playing time in the current season have been taken into account.
