The problem of evaluating the performance of soccer players is attracting the interest of many companies and the scientific community, thanks to the availability of massive data capturing all the events generated during a match (e.g., tackles, passes, shots, etc.). PlayeRank is a data-driven framework that offers a principled multi-dimensional and role-aware evaluation of the performance of soccer players. PlayeRank significantly outperforms known algorithms for performance evaluation in soccer when evaluated on a dataset of players’ evaluations made by professional soccer scouts.
