How it works

Radar

The system scans 37 leagues 24/7. Europe's big five leagues are deliberately left out: everyone already knows the young players there. The target is young, low-value players nobody is talking about yet.

Data

For every player we count the official senior-level matches of the last 12 months (B/reserve teams' games in senior leagues included); youth and national-team games are left out. Market values come from Transfermarkt and are refreshed regularly.

Score

The ScoutChefAI score runs from 0 to 100 and weighs playing time, output for the position, age, league level and value momentum together. 75 and above is "elite potential", 60–74 "high potential", 45–59 "watch list". The 24-month value range is a model estimate derived from this score, not a guarantee.

Limits

• The system does not watch matches; it knows nothing about playing style, technique or character.
• Data from smaller leagues can lag behind. Players with very few minutes do not appear in the lists.
• The images are AI-generated illustrations; real photos of the players are never published.

Who's behind it?

ScoutChefAI is an independent project that introduces a few players every day on X: @ScoutChefAI. Short videos are on TikTok. Every post is approved by a human before it is published.
