PFF FC data is collected using a proprietary, internally-developed platform. Using high definition TV broadcast our team completes multiple processes which deliver answers to the following questions, among others:
- What is the situation? (e.g. game clock, half, score)
- Who is on the ball and for how long?
- What happened and how? (e.g. body part, ball height, event type, outcome)
- Was pressure attempted and/or applied and how?
- What was the players’ PFF Grade for that particular event?
- Includes positioning and off-ball movement
From August 2022, both spatiotemporal and physical data processes will be brought online and be available for our customers.
Who collects PFF FC data?
PFF FC employs a diverse variety of people who collect our data. We have both former club analysts and professional players, along with other part-time employees who are assigned to various processes. New analysts start by collecting who is on the ball and when, and the events that happen during that possession.
Only experienced analysts collect contextualized data & perform grading analysis. Training is rigorous and well-documented to ensure maximum data integrity.
Multiple analysts make multiple passes on each game to ensure that any mistakes and discrepancies are caught before the data reaches our customers. We also rely on automatic data validations throughout all of our processes.
