Player Data Preview

One player, from a Wyscout or Hudl match event export. Nobody watches the match — every number is counted from his row in the file.

Guide

What this tool is, in four steps.

  1. Export the match. From Wyscout or Hudl, the match event export as .json. One match per file.
  2. Drop it in. It is read here, on your machine, and only the counted summary is sent. If the file cannot be turned into a brief, this page says exactly what is missing rather than guessing.
  3. Pick the side, then the man, then the position. The squad list is built from the file itself, so the name that travels is the one his row is filed under. The position is yours to state: it decides what he is graded against.
  4. Read it knowing what it is. Nobody watched this match. Every figure is counted from his row, one match, no season baseline — and the Data Preview says so itself, in its own header, in the record table's absent rows, and in what it refuses to tell you.

What one match can and cannot say about a player

A provider export records what a player did with the ball and what happened around him. It does not record what he did off it — where he stood, who he pinned, when he pressed and when he held. Those areas appear in the record table marked absent, and that is the Data Preview working, not failing.

So this is a screening document, not a verdict. It tells you whether a live viewing is worth the trip. Then it opens the right Player tool with his name already in it, so the questions the numbers raised are the ones sitting in front of you at the ground.

The loop — data first, then your eyes

A provider export tells you what happened. It cannot tell you why, and nobody watched the match to write it. So the Data Preview carries a watch list: the questions the numbers raised and only someone watching can answer.

Every item on that list is answerable in the one match you are about to watch. Not a run of games, not a season — the ninety minutes in front of you. If a question needs a count across matches, it does not belong on the list.

A number with no eye behind it is a guess. An eye with no number behind it is an opinion. The watch list is how you get both.

When you have read the watch list, the button under it opens the Player tool you named, with the player already on it. You are not starting a recording from nothing — you are going to answer a list.
