TFA is actively seeking ideas for new football software to build.

We will build the software for you at no cost.

If you are a team, scout, data analyst, punter, or football professional with a specific problem in mind, please reply to this email with the issue you are facing, and we will see if we can develop software to address it.

Below are some potential ideas we are considering. Please reply if any of the potential ideas below solve a problem you currently have:

• Player Performance Analytics Platform
  A tool that aggregates and visualises player stats (e.g., passing accuracy, distance covered, heatmaps) with customizable filters for specific matches, seasons, or scenarios. It would integrate video clips to link data with on-field actions.

• Scouting Database and Player Comparison Tool
  A searchable database of players with detailed profiles (attributes, stats, injury history) and a feature to compare prospects side-by-side based on position, style, or metrics like expected goals (xG) or tackling efficiency.

• Data Visualisation Software For Tableau

  Software to help data analysts automatically turn Tableau exports into beautiful data visualisations, explicitly customised for football clubs.

• Opponent Analysis Software
  A tool that compiles opponent data (formations, key players, tendencies) and uses AI to predict their strategies or highlight exploitable weaknesses, pulling from match footage and stats.

• CRM For Injury Prevention and Load Management Tool
  A platform that tracks player fitness metrics (e.g., heart rate, sprint loads) and uses predictive algorithms to flag injury risks or recommend rest periods.

• Recruitment and Talent ID Algorithm
  An AI-driven tool that scans global player data to identify under-the-radar talents matching specific criteria (e.g., age, position, budget) for clubs or academies.

• Live Match Decision Support
  Real-time software for in-game analysis, providing coaches with instant stats, player fatigue levels, and suggested substitutions or tactical adjustments.

FIFA Club World Cup Final 2025: Chelsea Vs PSG Full Tactical Preview – Data Analysis

The inaugural 32-team edition of the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States reaches its final chapter, as Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain prepare to face off in a much-anticipated showdown between two of Europe’s most tactically evolved sides.

The Blues arrive in the final after a composed 2–0 victory over Brazil’s Fluminense, showcasing the balance and maturity developed under Enzo Maresca.

Meanwhile, Les Parisiens‘ emphatic 4–0 demolition of Real Madrid in the semi-final continues their staggering run of dominance.

They are building on a historic UEFA Champions League campaign that culminated in a 5–0 win over Inter Milan in the final, the club’s first European title.

Under Luis Enrique, PSG have emerged not just as winners, but as the continent’s tactical benchmark, combining structural precision with devastating final-third execution.

This final, however, is more than a clash of squads; it is a clash of ideologies.

PSG’s possession-based model, infused with explosive transitions, meets Chelsea’s calculated, volume-driven approach, underpinned by a growing edge in both phases of play.

In this data analysis and tactical preview, we dissect the key tactical elements that define each team’s journey and style and attempt to answer the underlying questions that will shape the outcome of this final.

How has Chelsea’s attacking volume and pressing balance matured through the tournament?

Can PSG’s dual-threat model — part-possession, part-transition — hold under pressure from a well-drilled Premier League opponent?

And ultimately, which system is more likely to succeed in a one-off final where moments, not just models, define champions?

Arda Güler Scout Report At Real Madrid 2025/2026: Xabi Alonso’s Next Florian Wirtz – Player Analysis

This player analysis and scout report analyses Arda Güler, his skill set and potential role in 2025/2026 and beyond.

Xabi Alonso’s side crashed out of the FIFA Club World Cup at the hands of Luis Enrique’s PSG.

It showed that Los Blancos have a long way to go to regain their status as one of Europe’s elite clubs.

Alonso himself has a task at hand, taking a squad that didn’t have a set tactical identity under Carlo Ancelotti and turning them into what his Bayer Leverkusen teams were.

One player at Die Werkself who transformed his system and allowed it to flourish was Florian Wirtz—a do-everything number 10 who could roam and play any position on the pitch but also lead and supply the attack himself.

Liverpool snatched up Florian Wirtz this summer, and while I am sure Xabi Alonso would have loved to have Wirtz follow him to Real Madrid, he may already have his version of Florian Wirtz in the squad: Arda Güler.

In this article, I will examine how similar both of the players’ profiles are and, more importantly, how Xabi Alonso will use Güler in a similar role to how he used Florian Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen.

The young Turkish attacking midfielder was not a regular starter under Ancelotti, but throughout the Club World Cup, he has proven his value to the squad and Alonso himself.
