FotMob has announced an exciting new integration with SciSports, allowing users to access intelligent player value estimations directly within each player’s profile. This feature, powered by SciSports’ proprietary Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) model, offers fans real-time insights into player market values that are updated continuously, creating a new benchmark in fan-facing football analytics.
The SciSports ETV model employs advanced machine learning techniques to assess player value based on several dimensions, including on-pitch performance, league strength, age dynamics, career trajectory, and contract specifics, among others. This sophisticated valuation engine, trusted by clubs and agencies around the world, brings a level of accuracy and scalability never before witnessed in sports analytics.
FotMob, one of the world’s most popular football apps with over 20 million users in more than 200 countries, is enhancing the football experience for its extensive fanbase by integrating these valuations. This strategic move promises to deepen the understanding of player transfers and market values, providing fans with a richer and more informed dialogue surrounding player valuation.
Christer Nordvik, CEO of FotMob, emphasized the app’s commitment to elevating fans’ understanding of the game, stating, “Player value is one of the most debated topics in the game, and often lacks clear, consistent context. By integrating SciSports’ Estimated Transfer Value into FotMob, we’re adding a data-driven reference point directly where fans already explore players and teams every day.”
Vincent van Renesse, CEO of SciSports, expressed pride in collaborating with FotMob, highlighting the alignment between both companies’ values centered around clarity, quality, and fan engagement. He noted that this partnership represents a significant advancement in making football intelligence an integral part of the fan experience.
Founded with a mission to bridge the gap between analytics and ambition, SciSports provides insights to clubs, federations, and players for improved decision-making in scouting and performance preparation. FotMob complements this by delivering precise live scores, match statistics, and comprehensive player and team data, aimed at enhancing how millions of fans engage with football around the globe.
