[upbeat music] Hi, pod fans. Max here. Barry's here, too.
Barrie Cassidy· Host0:03
Hello.
Max Rushden0:04
Football Weekly is supported by Gradient FC. Now, Barry, we've talked a lot on the pod about football analytics, XG, and all that, and all those pod fans who are deep into football analytics will probably already know Gradient Sports. They work with pro clubs across Europe's top leagues to provide player performance insights, but they're now bringing that same pro level analysis directly to fans through the Gradient FC app.
Barrie Cassidy· Host0:24
Sounds interesting, Max. What can it do?
Max Rushden0:28
Well, each match is graded by a team of experts who evaluate over 2,000 player actions per match, not just by outcome, but by execution. So, for example, a completed pass that leads the receiver into danger is graded negatively, while one that puts a receiver in on goal is graded positively.
Barrie Cassidy· Host0:43
Sounds like common sense.
Max Rushden0:45
Yeah. And with Gradient FC, you get some of the deepest metrics available to ordinary fans, like line breaking passes, dribbles into dangerous positions, and chance creations. Now, I know you hate making match predictions, Barry, but maybe all that could change with Gradient FC. With head-to-head player comparison tools that show you who's best across more than 100 grades and metrics, it's easy to build and defend any prediction. And here's something else that'll appeal to you, Barry: it's free.
Barrie Cassidy· Host1:08
Okay. I'm surprised to hear that, Max.
Max Rushden1:10
Yeah. Uh, well, explore it for yourself at gradientfc.com, or download the Gradient FC app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
