Load & availability
“A hamstring in the run-in that nobody flagged.”
Who’s fit to start, who’s carrying load, and who breaks down if you play him Thursday and Sunday.
Quant AI Intelligence Lab — Elite Football
Win it before kickoff.
17z sits on the data your club already owns — tracking, medical, scouting, recruitment — and turns it into one decision you can defend, with the reasoning behind every call.
Positional intelligence
We see the pitch as positions, not highlights.
Every player, every second — tracked, valued and modeled. Formation, pressing shape and the space between the lines, computed frame by frame, at a resolution no staff could hold in their heads.
We don’t pick your team, predict the scoreline, or replace anyone in the building. We hand your staff sharper inputs — the call stays yours.
01 / What we read
You already have the data. You’re missing the decision — and the reasoning to defend it.
Four places a season is won or lost. In each one, 17z reads the signals your club already generates and hands back the call, the edge, and the reasoning underneath.
Recruitment
“Another £40m mistake hung around my neck.”
Every target priced like an asset — profile fit, the fee against the value, and the risk range on the bet.
Opposition
“Walking out and realising they knew exactly how to hurt us.”
How they’ll press you, the overload you haven’t scouted, the set-piece you’ve never seen — simulated before kickoff.
The business
“Justifying the wage bill to a CFO who trusts a spreadsheet more than me.”
Football framed in value and risk — PSR headroom, wage discipline, sell-to-buy — so you win the boardroom on football terms.
02 / The reasoning
Every call comes with the reasoning — and the uncertainty on the table.
Get one of these wrong and it follows you — a signing that doesn’t fit, a hamstring in April, a press that leaves you exposed. The reasoning is how you make the high-probability call, and defend it when the result goes against you. No naked point estimates, no “the model says so.”
Decision — matchday61% edge · range 54–68%
Start #7 over #22 on the right.
The opposition presses the right half-space. #7’s out-of-possession work rate holds it; #22 is at amber soft-tissue load after two 90s in six days.

Sign the free agent, not the £24m target.
Near-identical output against a low block — 40% of your fixtures — four years younger, and £24m stays on the books. The name is priced on reputation, not production.

03 / Why it works
The game is too fast to coach live. So you win it before it starts.
A week has 168 hours. The match is 90 minutes of them. The other 167 — training, recovery, opposition, recruitment — are where the game is actually decided, and the only place a model can help. Read them deepest and you walk out for kickoff already ahead.
Read the belief →04 / How you use it
Ask it anything. Get the decision — and the reasoning.
Not ten tabs and a deck your analyst builds on Friday. A question in plain language, an answer you can act on before Saturday, with the reasoning attached every time.
› Should we press higher on Saturday?
Yes — but only for the first 25 minutes. They build slow from the back and cough it up under pressure early. After the half-hour their full-backs push on, and the space you’d leave behind is exactly where they hurt teams. Press hard, then drop into a mid-block.

The invitation
A few clubs. Never your rivals.
Built for elite clubs, leagues and federations, it sits on the data you already own — and your edge never leaves your building. No demo form, no trial, no pricing page. If you’re building something and you want the edge quietly, we should talk.
