Today is the start of the new series 'Data Science in the Premier League'. Brentford FC is the closest thing to Moneyball in the football world, and it is exciting to see how they will fare in the Premier League using their analytical approach.
It is true, many teams do already use analytics in their decisions, but – unlike other big names with much bigger budgets – Brentford heavily relies on the power of analytics to beat their opponents.
The series will cover how Brentford uses data to make the best decision in important decisions like transfers and set pieces as well as show our own analysis on the team using underlying metrics.
Hope to see everyone for the next part of the series!
