The partnership we developed between @scoutedftbl.com x SkillCorner has been one of the most fun I've been involved with.

The quality these guys have put out is nothing short of brilliant

Graphic featuring a testimonial from Pedro Araújo, which reads: "SCOUTED has been one of the resources used by the FC Porto scouting team in recent years. Their work challenges our approach to recruitment and inspires new scouting practices, discovering new players that might have slipped under the radar or new ways to interrogate and evaluate data. We encourage our team to keep a close eye on what is published at SCOUTED in order to raise our internal level and get to know more talent breaking through worldwide."

In November last year, FC Porto invited us to a match to show support for what we do at SCOUTED. This was an extremely proud moment for the team and a clear sign that our unique discovery and analysis of young players is highly valued in the professional industry.

Even before his goals, one of the things that has stood out in Benjamin Sesko’s first season at Manchester United is his movement in and around the opposition penalty area.

This is the most sensible and true thing I've heard from Labour since they got in

I've seen this so many times today:

"Labour lost because of comms"

Nope. They're in charge. They lost because of the things they're doing. The comms are bad because the things they're choosing to do are bad.

As is tradition now, a new #JLeague stats report for the 2025 season. Interesting focus on players with JStats & SkillCorner data for Ota Yamamoto, Keito Kumashiro, Koshiro Sumi, Rion Ichihara, among others.

This looks very cool

James Milner making Premier League history, more than 23 years on from his debut As Manuel Pellegrini said during his time at Manchester City: 'Show me another player who does all the things that Milner does well'

James Milner starts for Brighton at Brentford, his 654th Prem Lge appearance, breaking Gareth Barry’s record.
“To be honest, I’d rather be remembered for winning every domestic trophy with two clubs or winning the Champs Lge or scoring in the Prem Lge for Leeds at 16”

I would say yes

Me watching Rice and Grealish play for England at Euro 2020

And the winner of best short film goes to …

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.'

Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.
