Podcast: Planet EFL - Brentford's Transfer Model
🕑 Added 2020-09-16 12:42:40 +0000 UTCMatthew Benham was a successful gambler, so much so that he earned enough money to buy the club he supports Brentford. His philosophy and that of technical director Rasmus Ankersen is to use analytics to give The Bees the best possible choice of sustainable success.
We discuss the transfer model, if it works and what's next for Brentford, plus the success Benham and Ankersen brought to Danish club FC Midtjylland and why the below TedTalk video with Ankersen made James think about Fantasy Football Management.

Loved this one James. Brentford were my local team and I remember going to Griffin Park when I was a kid - all changed now!
