The more experienced scouts write less and less because they have a much more refined model for weighing information.

My latest article!
I enjoyed writing my first one, so I thought I'd share the seven steps I follow when scouting a player.
Hopefully someone reads it! 😅
Spanish version coming soon.

Activation visuelle et oculomotrice : préparer ses yeux, son équilibre et son attention avant l'effort
La vision est la source d'information dominante en sport.
À quoi ça sert ?
•Préparer le système visuel et attentionnel
•Activer la coordination œil-main / œil-pied
•Préparer les gestes techniques : dribble, tir, prise d'info
•Travailler la stabilité du regard
•Préparer l'équilibre, les appuis et la proprioception
•Activer le système vestibulaire (stimulation de l'oreille interne) pour l'orientation et la posture
Une activation sensori-motrice
•Système vestibulaire (équilibre) et proprioceptif
•Système visuel
•Attention et intégration sensori-motrice
La clé du haut niveau
•Voir avant de recevoir
•Scanner : lecture du jeu, vision périphérique
•Décider vite sous pression
•Anticiper la trajectoire du ballon, les appels, les centres
•Entrer dans le match avec un système activé et concentré
À retenir : la prise d'information se travaille surtout en situation de jeu. L'activation visuelle prépare le terrain. 1 à 3 minutes bien faites avant l'entraînement ou le match, comme routine d'activation.
Teori Relative Age Effect (RAE): anak yg lahir di awal tahun cenderung lebih unggul secara fisik, sehingga lebih sering terpilih. Yg lahir di kuartal keempat "paling dirugikan", apalagi di angkatan termuda.
Datanya sejalan di #EPAONE. Hanya 11 pemain Q4 2012 yang terdaftar.

A full scout report on any young player, in one click.
At a club, a report like this takes days: pull the data, draw the charts, find the comparables, write it up. On NEXUS it is now a button on every player's profile.
Up to 17 pages:
• Where he stands: in the world, at his position, in his league, and against the age curve
• What he produces per 90, against his peers and his league
• Match by match form, and how he does against stronger opponents
• The price: market value, NEXUS's value model, what players who score like him cost, and a fair fee
• The contract clock: when he can sign a pre-contract
• Who has made the same step before, and how many held their level
• Which clubs have an opening at his position and play his way
• The risks, the matches to watch, and a verdict
Example: Julius Askou, 20, centre-back at OB. All seven U23 centre-backs scored above him play in the Big Five, valued €6.2M to €63M. He is at €2.2M, with eight months left on his deal.
But the report also makes the case against its own pick. Sixteen young centre-backs have made the step he would make, and ten held their level. Of the six who arrived scoring 85+, only one did: Militão.
And it tells you when not to buy. Below a score of 65 there is no fee, no list of buyers and no "move now". Just the profile.
Every number comes from the data. Every judgment follows a rule printed in the appendix. English or Turkish, full report or one page, download as PDF. Free, no account.
Sesekali.
Ngecek xG dan gol tim Super League sampai pekan ke-7.
Bali United yang paling melampaui ekspektasi. PSIM yang paling di bawah ekspektasi.

POV: Istri jadi tenaga medis yang bertugas di Indonesia Women’s League, Indomilk Arena.
“Kenapa nggak jaga di medical room aja? Kan ada AC, daripada kepanasan di dekat ambulans.”
“Medical room udah diisi orang, udah penuh.”
Eh, ternyata beneran penuh sama seragam cokelat. Duduk di kursi nyaman sambil makan dan ruangan penuh asap rokok. Padahal jelas-jelas medical room seharusnya bebas asap rokok. Beda banget sama tenaga medis yang justru harus berjaga di samping ambulans, kepanasan.
Sukses terus deh. Semangat buat para pejuang medis! 🙌

The Ballon d’Or is often dismissed as a popularity contest. Is that fair?
Dug into the historical data and found that while randomness still plays a part, certain player traits are associated with a higher vote share.

"In the world we're working in now," a Head of Recruitment at a European club told us this summer, "you need to take decisions based on gut feeling."
Since 2014, @ffwtbollew has been SCOUTED's gut feeling.
In our new series, Llew breaks down the basics of his process: from maintaining extensive market knowledge to the things he looks for first when watching a new player.

Pemain pertama di EPA ONE 2026/27 yang menembus dua digit gol. M. Revan (#179) hanya perlu bermain 6 laga untuk mencapainya bersama Borneo FC Samarinda U16. Ia mencetak gol setidaknya setiap 37 menit. Berapa gol yang akan dikoleksi Revan di akhir musim?
#EPAONE
EPA ONE U20 memberi ruang bagi pemain yang belum mendapat tempat di tim utama maupun cadangan senior. Lewat skema Joker Senior dan Yoyo Senior, mereka bisa bermain bersama tim akademi.
Pemain mendapat menit bermain, persaingan makin kompetitif.
Cek data awalnya! 👇
#EPAONE
Dewa United juga memetik hasil melalui skema Yoyo Senior, yang memberi kesempatan bagi pemain kelahiran 2007 dan sesudahnya.
Sebanyak 4 gol Dewa United musim ini lahir dari kaki Nofalio Ardanan. Kira-kira setengah dari gol tim U20 musim ini.
Foto Kelvin dan Rubben terbalik. Maaf, saya luput 🙏🏼
Replying to @abraak_
Persijap paling sering menurunkan pemain U23 untuk memperkuat tim U20. Namun, Persita paling banyak memetik hasil dari skema Joker Senior.
Sebanyak 3 (Aloysius Gonzaga - 2 gol) dari 10 gol Persita musim ini dicetak pemain Joker. Kontribusinya mencapai 30% dari total gol tim.

In 1998, 0 players in Japan’s first World Cup squad played abroad.
Fast forward to 2026: 23 out of 26 players play in foreign leagues. 🇯🇵
That is 30 years of vision, consistency, and relentless hard work—the "Japan Model" in action.
An incredible experience hearing from Tsuneyasu Miyamoto, current JFA President and former #SamuraiBlue captain, at the AFC Conference in Tokyo!
