Does Champions League 'Heritage' Matter?

What the historical data shows about past teams performance means for the future
How Football Is Changing
statsbomb.com - Duncan Hunter, Scott Johnson, and Conor Sharpe
Football is a game that continues to evolve and transform with each passing season. While the fundamentals remain (score goals, donât let them in), the strategies and approaches to succeeding in those objectives are shifting. From how teams utilise seemingly routine restarts like goal kicks and throw-ins, aerial duels going the way of the dodo, or distribution-breaking passing and dribbling tendencies. The very fabric of the sport is being reshaped through innovative tactics and rule changes, so we've been diving deep into the data to uncover whatâs changing.
Goal kicks: How does each Premier League club take them?
theathletic.com - The Athletic UK Staff
An outfield player taking a goal kick used to be a rare treat, a sign that the goalkeeper had pulled a muscle and needed a willing team-mate to launch the ball towards the centre circle.But since a tweak of footballâs laws in 2019, the once-humble goal kick has become an increasingly integral part of how a club chooses to build up play. Some teams choose to have a defender pass the ball laterally to the goalkeeper, some ask the goalkeeper to play short to team-mates in the box, while some still prefer to go long and direct.

Transformers and Explainable AI for Computer Vision
manning.com - Anuradha Kar
In this series of liveProjects, youâll join up with four different computer vision companies to explore computer vision models powered by the latest deep learning architectures. Youâll utilize the groundbreaking transformer architecture, which forms the driving force behind ChatGPT, to develop a series of increasingly complex models. Starting with a classifier to detect brain tumors, you'll move on to a segmentation algorithm and an object detection application capable of detecting construction vehicles and structural flaws. Finally, youâll take on the role of an MLOps expert, implementing model deployment and explainability in the systems youâve developed.

Outlier Detection in Python
manning.com - Brett Kennedy
Outliers can be the most informative parts of your data, revealing hidden insights, novel patterns, and potential problems. For a business, this can mean finding new products, expanding markets, and flagging fraud or other suspicious activity. Outlier Detection in Python introduces the tools and techniques youâll need to uncover the parts of a dataset that donât look like the rest, even when theyâre the more hidden or intertwined among the expected bits.

SBC PODCAST #73: ANDREW RHODES â CEO OF THE GAMBLING COMMISSION
smartbettingclub.com - Peter Ling
In the latest SBC Podcast I am joined by The Gambling Commission CEO Andrew Rhodes for an in-depth chat about the regulation of gambling in the UK.
âThe White Paperâ was published last year and this document has resulted in some fierce debate across the gambling world, with the Gambling Commission coming under fire as accusations of bias, secrecy and incompetence have been levelled at them.
This chat provides Andrew with the opportunity to refute those claims and to discuss some of the issues that are of interest to you â the punters.
I didnât get to ask about every topic on our list (restrictions, Minimum Bet Liability (MBL), the debate around statistics in gambling and many more items were considered) but it was great to get some clarity on things like affordability, the black market and bookmaker behaviour.
