The Artificial intelligence (IA) is gaining space at a forced pace. One of the areas where it is making the most progress is in the valuation of players, as is the case at hand. Now, the AI chose the best goalkeeper in Europe and his decision was not without much surprise. Not because of the undeniable values that the chosen one brings but because he is not the goalkeeper of one of the continent’s ‘greats’.
In particular, and as announced by the company Olocip, which specializes in AI, the choice is Alvaro Valles, UD Las Palmas goalkeeper, 26 years old. The analysis performed by the Artificial Intelligence does not focus so much on stopped balls, rejected balls, goals conceded, etc., but rather on the value of their actions, based on probability of scoring or conceding a goal.
And that’s where Valles showed himself hard to handle. According to the aforementioned source, in his actions He avoided nearly 10 more goals than expected, offers performance that exceeds expectations.
The score obtained in the light of these facts is 9.6, above 8.27 of Arthur Desmas (Le Havre), the 8.04 of Michele DiGregorio (Monza), 7.18 Marco Bizot (Stade Brestios) or the 6.54 of Vladimir Falcone (Lecce), making up the ‘top 5’ of the best goalkeepers in Europe, according to Artificial Intelligence.
