Eyeball / Scouting

Eyeball is an innovative AI tool for scouting young players, utilizing a single camera to collect movement data. The platform analyzes player movement data and, based on it, creates player “archetypes,” comparing their playing style to well-known professionals such as Erling Haaland or Jude Bellingham. This enables early identification of talents with specific characteristics and potential, supporting the recruitment process in academies and clubs.

Advantages

  • AI-powered scouting for young players

Disadvantages

  • Limited public pricing and documentation
  • Lack of detailed information about subscription tiers or full capabilities may create uncertainty for potential users.
  • Focused mainly on movement data
  • May not fully account for tactical awareness, decision-making, or technical skills without complementary evaluation tools.
  • New and developing solution
  • As a relatively innovative tool, it may still be undergoing refinement and lack a long-term performance track record.
  • Comparative models may oversimplify player profiles
  • Archetyping based on top professionals can create unrealistic expectations or limit nuanced analysis.
  • Not a complete scouting system
  • Best used as a complementary tool rather than a standalone solution for comprehensive player evaluation.
