Team Health

Key Features of Team Health

1. Team Fatigue Calculation

• Measures the number of days since a team's last match.
• Helps determine whether a team is well-rested or fatigued, which can impact performance.
• Fatigue influences player stamina, reaction times, and injury risk, making it a crucial factor in match predictions.
• Understanding the score
  
  

  • Days Since Last Game	Calculation	Fatigue Score
    0 days (just played)	(14 - 0) × 7.14	100 (maximum fatigue)
    3 days	(14 - 3) × 7.14	78.54
    7 days	(14 - 7) × 7.14	50 (medium fatigue)
    10 days	(14 - 10) × 7.14	28.56
    14+ days	(14 - 14) × 7.14

     

• Key Points
  Assumes 14 days = full rest (fatigue = 0)
  Linear scale: each day closer to the last game adds ~7.14 points
  Recent games (0–3 days) = high fatigue (78–100)
  7 days = moderate fatigue (~50)
  14+ days = no fatigue (0)
  
  

2. Team Health Score (0-100)

• Evaluates a team's recent form based on the last six matches.
• Factors considered:

• Match results (wins/losses) to gauge momentum.
• Goal differences, reflecting attacking and defensive efficiency.
• Home vs. away games, as teams often perform differently based on location.
• Betting odds, accounting for expected vs. unexpected results.
• Recent matches are weighted more heavily, ensuring the score reflects current form.
• Understanding the score (0-100)
  
  • 80-100: Excellent form
  • 60-79: Good form
  • 40-59: Average form
  • 20-39: Poor form
  • 0-19: Very poor form

Why Team Health Matters

• Predictive Power: A team with a high health score is likely to perform well, while a fatigued team may struggle.
• Betting Insights: Helps bettors assess whether a team is undervalued or overestimated based on recent performance.
