Highlights reviewSunday 12 February 2023 - by SoccerSTATS.comFor each of the Featured Matches, the Highlights Review section aims at describing a selection of the game action highlights, in a way that fits the statistical focus of the website. To that end, each reviewed highlight action is structured into three stages:
Each stage will be set to a specific status. For example, "Hit woodwork" or "Goal" are some of the possible statuses of the Outcome stage. Stage 1: the Set-upThe Set-up is the stage that made the goal-scoring chance possible. It represents the answer to "What did that goal opportunity mostly come from?". The Set-up stage can be represented by one of the following situations: Set-up
Set-up tableStage 2: the AttemptThis stage covers the type of action that the player in a scoring position has undertaken in his attempt to score. Attempt
Attempt table Stage 3: the OutcomeThe outcome is the situation that resulted from the attempt. Outcome
Outcome table Action description structurePutting it all together, we end up with a list where each highlight action is featured using the same structure (Set-up -> Attempt -> Outcome) in the highlights review section. For example: "Through ball -> One touch -> Deflected" or "Rebound -> Header -> Woodwork" each represent a structural description of a specific goal-scoring opportunity. Involved playersIn addition to the "Set-up -> Attempt -> Outcome" description, each featured action also includes the name of the players involved, with the player taking the shot written in bold. Other key players that took part in the action may also be mentioned, including players from the defending team, when one of them has had a major influence in the outcome. Players star ratingFor each reviewed highlight, the involved players can be awarded a number of stars, depending on how much of an impact each player has had in either exploiting the goal opportunity or defending against it. Here again, the number of stars to allocate to a player will be down to perception. Yet we can still provide some degree of structure here also, by explaining what each rating is meant to represent. The number of stars will vary from 0 to 3, with a view to evaluate players' involvement level according to the following: Star rating for each action
Star rating table If we take the example of a highlight featuring a player weaving past three defenders to deliver a cross to a teammate for an easy tap-in goal, the goal scorer may be granted one star for his contribution, and the player who provided such an assist might be given 2 stars, depending on how instrumental his move has proved in turning the action into a goal opportunity. In another example, let's imagine the following situation: an attacking player sets himself free from his marking defender and delivers a powerful shot from mid-range that would have resulted in a goal had the goalkeeper not pulled out a brilliant save. In that situation, both the attacking player and the goalkeeper could be granted two stars for this action. As for the structural description, such a highlight action could be described as: "Individual play -> Multiple touches -> Deflected" Highlights action summaryAs we like to focus on stats, and since each featured action gets defined with the same method, it can be interesting to show a recap of each team's type of actions. The Highlights action summary details the total number of times each condition has been observed in the featured actions for each team. Highlights starsThis table lists the total number of stars assigned to each player that was given at least a total of two stars, considering all highlights listed on the page. Avoiding pitfalls The Highlights stars table should not be considered as an evaluation of the quality of each player's production as:
