Why Teamworks Player ID

More hits. Fewer misses.

The transfer market is inefficient. Research shows that over 50% of player transfers do not have the desired impact. These failures in recruitment are having a tangible effect with the average tenure of club leadership decreasing year on year. These inefficiencies leave enormous scope for smart clubs to gain a sustainable competitive edge in the transfer market. Instead of black-box recommendations, Player ID delivers transparent, explainable intelligence that helps you understand why a player fits your team, your league, and your strategy…before you commit.

“The success of football transfers depends on providing enough smart people the right data, and they will figure it out.”
