Scouts spend too long turning a player’s data into a plain-language profile they can use. Hudl Statsbomb’s new AI Player Summaries change that.
You already have the deepest data in football. But the problem has never been the data. It has been everything it takes to turn a player’s numbers into something you can act on – the querying, the scanning, the write-up before a shortlist even gets discussed.
AI Player Summaries cut that part out. Select any player in Hudl Statsbomb and a profile is already written: their role, their standout traits, the patterns the underlying event data supports – in plain language, right in the player view.
What the summary gives you
Each summary works from the data already in the platform and turns it into something you can read in seconds.
Written the way you would brief a colleague:. Not a wall of metrics. Their role, their strengths, where they stand out. A full back’s value shows up through their progressive ball-carrying, rather than their crossing, or a forward’s pressing registers above their goal tally..
Grounded in the data you trust: Built on more than 3,400 events per game across 300+ competitions, with industry-standard xG and On-Ball Value underneath. It surfaces the traits the data supports and leaves out what it cannot back.
Traceable, so you can check it: Every line maps back to the underlying metrics and video. Open the data behind any claim and see exactly where it came from.
Right where you work: In the player view. No new tool, no setup, no waiting.
The groundwork, already done
The summary is not a separate tool. It is built into the platform where your data already lives, which means it fits into the work rather than creating a detour from it.
A scout working a shortlist can triage players in a fraction of the time, then go straight to the data on the ones worth a closer look. An analyst building a brief starts from a structured read instead of a blank page. A head of recruitment gets a quick, defensible profile without waiting for a full write-up.
None of that replaces your analysts' judgment. It just frees them to use it — on the decision, the shortlist, the call — rather than on the groundwork that leads there. And because Hudl Statsbomb is the data engine of the Hudl Pro Suite, that read connects onward, into Sportscode and Insight for video-connected analysis and into Studio for presentation.
Available now.AI Player Summaries are live for all Hudl Statsbomb platform customers today. There is nothing to set up. Open any player and read.
