Football Hackers: The Science and Art of a Data Revolution

[Jordan]

"This legendary german journalist has written a book which should have received more coverage than it has. He delves into the world of data, algorithms, and analysts. He shows what they can bring to football, which as a sport is according to my mate Dary Morey of the Houston Rockets, 10 years behind the NBA in its use of data, the NBA being 10 years behind major league baseball. This book delves into the changes the numbers game has made, can make, and will make to our fluid game of football, a game Jurgen Klopp’s assistant Peter Krawietz describes as “chess, but with dice”? The book has been deliciously translated by the remarkable Raphael Honigstein and if any of you, and many of you are, are interested in the data revolution and its application and non application to our sport, this is worth its weight in gold for its explanation of expected goals alone."
