2 Overview The FIFA ranking 1 The FIFA ranking Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 2 / 40

3 Is this a necessary recap? In classical football competitions (Jupiler Pro League, Premier League, Bundesliga, Primera Division, Serie A), the winner earns 3 points, the loser 0 points, and a draw gives both teams 1 point. This leads to a very clear ranking that one can understand at first sight! Remark : until roughly 20 years ago, the winner got 2 points.

7 What is now the FIFA ranking? Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 6 / 40

8 What is now the FIFA ranking? Shocking news on the 5th November 2015! How is it possible that Belgium is number one without winning any tournament? What do the points mean? How are they calculated? And why is there such a FIFA ranking at all? Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 6 / 40

9 The FIFA ranking is based on points of national team matches over the last 4 years! Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 7 / 40

10 The FIFA ranking is based on points of national team matches over the last 4 years! The final points are calculated through the following formula : Result Time Importance Opposition Strength Opposition Confederation. More precisely : Result : the system Time : 1 for the last 12 months, 0.5 for the months 13-24, 0.3 for months 25-36, 0.2 for months Importance : 4 for World Cup matches, 3 for EURO (or Africa Cup of Nations,...), 2.5 for World Cup Qualifiers, 1 for friendly games Opposition Strength : max (50, 200 Opposition ranking) with exception for number 1 (factor 200 instead of 199) Opposition Confederation : 1 for South-America, 0.99 for Europe, and 0.85 for other regions.

20 Overview The FIFA ranking 1 The FIFA ranking Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 10 / 40

21 The Bradley-Terry type model Each of M teams is assigned a positive team strength β j. The outcome of match i {1,..., N} is then modelled as P ih = hβ ih hβ ih + d hβ ihβ ia + β ia ; d hβ ihβ ia P id = hβ ih + d ; hβ ihβ ia + β ia β ia P ia = hβ ih + d, hβ ihβ ia + β ia with home effect represented by h and draw effect by d ; h is dropped on neutral grounds. This model was used by Wang and Vandebroek (2011) ; the multiplicative home effect is based on an analysis of 10 Serie A seasons. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 11 / 40

22 These strength parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood : with L = N P y ij w type,i w time,i ij i=1 j {H,D,A} y ij an indicator function of the result w type,i the match importance factor (we keep the FIFA weights) w time,i the time depreciation effect Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 12 / 40

23 The Extended Bradley-Terry model A limitation of the BT model : same home effect parameter h! Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 13 / 40

24 The Extended Bradley-Terry model A limitation of the BT model : same home effect parameter h! The EBT model assigns two strength parameters to each team, one for home and one for away. How to combine the home and away strengths? Via geometric mean (better than arithmetic mean and harmonic mean according to an analysis of all Premier League data from ). Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 13 / 40

25 The Extended Bradley-Terry model A limitation of the BT model : same home effect parameter h! The EBT model assigns two strength parameters to each team, one for home and one for away. How to combine the home and away strengths? Via geometric mean (better than arithmetic mean and harmonic mean according to an analysis of all Premier League data from ). The parameters are again ML-estimated. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 13 / 40

26 The Poisson model Maher (1982) assumed the number of scored goals by both teams (G ih and G ia) to be independent Poisson distributed variables : P(G ih = x, G ia = y) = λx ih x! exp( λ ih) λy ia y! exp( λ ia), where λ ih and λ ia are the means of the scored goals for the home and the away team in match i. With strength parameters β ih and β ia, we consider λ ih = c h β ih β ia and λ ia = c β ia β ih under the constraint that all parameters are positive ; c is a common intercept. Matches on neutral ground are modeled by dropping the home effect h. ML-estimation : N i=1 ( λ g ih ih g ih! ) ωtime,i ω type,i λgia ia exp( λih) g exp( λia) ia! Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 14 / 40

27 The Poisson model allows easy computation of the probabilities P ij. Writing D = G ih G ia, we look at P(D > 0), P(D = 0) and P(D < 0). The distribution of D even bears a name : the Skellam distribution. Compared to BT and ETB, the Poisson model uses two observations per match instead of one. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 15 / 40

28 The Extended Poisson model No home-away change, but offensive (o ih, o ia) and defensive (d ih, d ia) strengths for each team! Thus λ ih = c h o ih d ia and λ ia = c o ia d ih. This is the original Maher (1982) model. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 16 / 40

29 The Combined Bradley-Terry - Poisson model Idea : augment the BT model through a goal difference effect. with L = N P y ij w goaldiffscaled,i w type,i w time,i ij i=1 j {H,D,A} w goaldiffscaled,i = { 1 if draw log 2 (goaldiff i + 1) else with goaldiff i the (absolute) goal difference in match i. Goal diff of 1 = weight 1 Goal diff of 7 = weight 3 Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 17 / 40

33 The ELO model Used in chess and female FIFA ranking! Difference with other models : strength parameters are evaluated sequentially, after each match naturally more weight on more recent matches. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 18 / 40

34 The ELO model Used in chess and female FIFA ranking! Difference with other models : strength parameters are evaluated sequentially, after each match naturally more weight on more recent matches. Update formula : R n = R o + k (O act O exp) where R n is the new rating, R o the old rating, k the match importance, O act the actual outcome and O exp the expected match outcome. Calculation of O exp : O exp = Ro Ao+h 400 with A o the opponent rating before the match and h the home effect (100 for home team, -100 for away team, 0 on neutral ground). The match importance factor k is proportional to those from the male FIFA ranking. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 18 / 40

40 Premier League We compare the 6 models on basis of the Premier League seasons between and leagues are more stable than national team matches We measure the predictive performance of our models, i.e., we train the models on the first half-season and then predict all remaining matches. Prediction based on 2850 matches. We make a comparison with the bookmaker data model and the match data benchmark model. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 23 / 40

41 Measure of predictive performance We use the log loss : log loss = 1 N N y ij log(p ij) i=1 j {H,D,A} where P ij represents the modeled probabilities and y ij the actual outcome of the match. The log loss criterion is typically used as the performance metric in data science (Kaggle) competitions when the goal is to predict probabilities for a set of possible outcomes. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 24 / 40

42 Bookmaker data The website hosts a separate excel file with match data and odds of each English Premier League season since the season If the observed odds are [2,3,3.5] for a home win, a draw and a home loss respectively, the transformed probabilities become [ 1, 1, 1 ]/( ) [0.447, 0.298, 0.255] Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 25 / 40

43 The benchmark - match data These data are designed for post-hoc analysis. They contain the difference in total shots, shots on target, corners, fouls as well as yellow and red cards. Most important predictor : difference in shots on target. Additional shots off target reduce the winning chances. Idem for number of corners! Cards have no significant influence.

44 Results of the comparison (1) FIGURE : Model comparison graph using all 2850 second season half English Premier League matches in the period between the and the season. Each model is fit using different half periods and relaxation parameters. The model with the lowest log loss value is a Poisson model with a half period of 180 days.

48 National Team data National team match results were scraped from the website http ://eu-football.info. The platform contains a complete archive of all European national football team results ( ) where at least one of the playing teams was European. The website also contains historical results of all European and domestic club competitions. The Poisson model was trained on 3785 national team matches (taking out countries with < inhabitants) and yielded a half-period of 1320 days. Only matches with two European participants were considered. Christophe Ley (UGent) Model-based Ranking Systems in Soccer 31 / 40
