Hi everyone, welcome to our 2020 ASA Goals Added coronavirus roundtable spectacular!! In this roundtable, you will have a chance to read about the hottest new innovation in the analytics world, already spawning imitators across the world before it’s even rolled out. But what is Goals Added (g+) and what can it teach us about the beautiful game that past metrics weren’t able to? To discuss this topic, we have some of the world’s foremost experts, the people who built the dang thing. Welcome, everybody!

Let’s start from the beginning. Readers can read about the g+ model and what it measures. What are the origins of this project and why did you start working on it? I read somewhere that it has been in the works for five years! Has it evolved over that period? Are you asking the same questions you were then? What does g+ allow us to do that we weren’t able to before?
