Gradient Player Grades

Capturing true performance by measuring execution

Gradient Player Grades measure how well a player performs in context, not just what appears in the box score. By evaluating execution quality across every match, they give teams a more granular layer of player assessment, help media tell clearer evidence-backed stories, and power smarter fan-facing rankings that show who is performing and why.

Customer Testimonials

See what others have to say about Gradient

"When soccer data first started being collected at any kind of scale, a lot of assumptions were made about what to actually count. And that's helped to solidify a certain statistical lens that the sport now gets looked at through.

Rather than doing their own version of that, Gradient has questioned all of those assumptions, asked their own new set of questions, and created a comprehensive dataset that looks at the sport from a unique perspective. I learn something new about how the game works every time I look through their data."

"Alongside Gradient's openness to adapt the product to our concrete scouting needs, another decisive factor was the level of control offered on the raw physical data. Unlike other providers, who only supply aggregated statistics such as 'number of sprints', Gradient allows us to access the timestamp, speed, and start/end coordinates of each visible sprint.

This level of detail is essential for contextual evaluation - for example, identifying only the sprints of a centre-back when running toward his own goal to cover depth or during defensive transitions. Also, the video links accessible through the API were a strong differentiator. They allow us to instantly view the physical event in question, improving both accuracy and speed of analysis."

“We are delighted to have reached an agreement with Gradient Sports. We have conducted extensive tests of tracking data providers against our in house GPS data where we found the accuracy of Gradient best fitted to our requirements. We have been using the platform alongside the event data we have at our disposal as part of our recruitment process over the summer and we look forward to using Gradient as a key part of our recruitment decision making process moving forward.”

Jacob Blain

Recruitment Analyst, Carlisle United

"We are excited to work with Gradient because they have the experience and reliability of being a dominant data provider in American Football but also the flexibility and adaptability of being a start-up in Football data analysis. After conducting a thorough evaluation of the major providers of broadcast tracking data and physical data estimates, we found that Gradient was a strong competitor in the market and best suited our needs for data accuracy and coverage. We’re looking forward to using their physical data to help inform our recruitment decision making and also exploring their off-ball run data to understand more about player movement throughout the game.”

Joe Ferrelly

Head of Data & Research, Sport Republic

"As a multi-club organization, having high quality analytics across all our teams is crucial. Gradient Sports coverage worldwide aligns perfectly with our international footprint and our mission to identify and develop talent efficiently."
