Soccer Rankings

I didn’t know a lick about club soccer 3 months ago. The landscape is complicated with so many clubs, differing levels of play, and incongruent use of team names (premier vs elite) for each club. This app gave me info that helped me understand how teams were organized, who plays who, what leagues were around, and how competitive local teams are. I even found nearby smaller clubs I had no idea existed! Without this app, I’d still be in the dark about my kids club environment. 30 day trial and reasonable cost is welcomed. Great app.

I was skeptical when introduced to the app as I’ve never used one that was worthwhile. But, this app is amazing! I can. It only see the development of my own team, but I can check the previous scores of upcoming opponents, find out who coaches which team (helpful for setting up scrimmages), and see the prediction of our next game. The predictor has surprised me. The algorithms used are great, and the predicted score is surprising accurate. I constantly recommend this app to other coach’s, it’s worth every penny!

The underlying methodology is appears to be much better than other ranking sites but the UI needs a lot more love as it looks and feels pretty clunky. It’s also a bit unpredictable as favorite teams randomly disappear. I also note that the previous version would appear in the state that you left it (eg the favorite screen) but now it appears that it always defaults to team ranking screen. Sometimes the ranking graphs disappear expectedly. I wish you could look at a league or tournament a favorite teams plays in and the see the predictions for the all the games in that tournament or league. At the moment all the rival teams need to be added then each match needs to worked out from the predictions screen which at the moment is a truly tedious process. That app obviously has a lot of useful data but it does not appear to fully exploiting it as of writing.
