Just wondered if anyone has used an in play scanner. I'm looking at it. Possibly a bit pricey just to see all of the stats in one easy screen from all the live matches, but has to be easier than opening each individual game in BF to check the stats.

There was another thread recently that was asking for football statistics to help with trades....etc
They were steered to this one, and as the football season is not far around the corner, it might be worth bumping it again.

Also, add in a site (free) that has been mentioned by a few others, but not in the last few pages of this thread. (PW did a YT video on xG as well)

https://understat.com/

Covers EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, RFPL. (wish it did the championship) :!:

It's an xG (Expected Goals) website that I'll be using alongside my spreadsheet data/algo and see if it helps with analysis, (sure it will)

It would be good to see it make sense of games like this one. (an end of season kickabout)

My recorded result was 3-2 (which wasn't far off).

I find this site very useful for pre-match research and trading in-play, The football live centre was recently upgraded and it's impressive so I am sharing here. Enjoy! :D

Nobody at all has mentioned sofascore as far as I can see. What are the reasons no one likes this ? Cheers

I find Infogol useful if you are interested in xG and live xG shot maps

Sofascore has actually been mentioned 50+ times on this forum : search.php?keywords=sofascore&terms=all ... mit=Search

And Peter talked about sofascore and infogol among others in some of his videos on Youtube.

I like using Infogol and Sofascore/an InPlay scanner to keep track of shot locations and momentum. What I'd really love to find is a site that displays real-time shot locations, similar to the way Bet365 has the shot map for shots in target. Does anyone know of any site that does this?

I'm curious about the data accuracy of both the freebie sites and the paid alert/scanner ones.

With one match I was looking at on a paid service I saw a sizeable discrepancy in shots on target.

The paid site had 3-9 and a freesite (Sofascore) had 3-3.

Now I've been told Sofascore use Opta in the main, which begs the question are some paid services using either inaccurate or inferior data suppliers?

If one's strategy involves specific data, or a combination of, then perhaps a 'second opinion' is needed before making a trading or betting decision.
