What They Say

"Football supporters love to debate who the best player is, either at their own club or across the whole of the Coca-Cola Championship. The Championship Actim Index is a great way to provide a statistical basis to that debate by showing how the players are really performing." Sir Brian Mawhinney, Chairman, The Football League

"Football DataCo along with the FA Premier League and Football League has been heavily involved in the development of the Actim Index. Unlike previous attempts to provide accurate measurements of player performances we fully endorsed the more scientific approach of using sophisticated mathematical techniques to analyse existing data collected from live games and video analysis. We believe this has resulted in a player performance index truly worthy of the name, for some of the most exciting football competitions in the world." David Folker, General Manager, Football DataCo Ltd

"Actim Stats have proved a very useful tool in creating special features for the magazine. It's also nice to know that former professional footballers have had an input into the creation of these figures to give them a bit more authority than some others." Frank Tennyson, Editor, Shoot Magazine
