Abstract

The global football leagues have widely adopted these techniques; Indian football is gradually catching up. In this paper, we present a machine learning-based approach specifically tailored for the Indian Super League (ISL) to predict individual player performance using publicly available match data. The collected and curated event-level data from over 300 ISL matches, focusing on features such as passes completed, tackles made, shots on target, and minutes played. From this data, we developed two predictive models: a regression model to estimate expected goals (xG) for each player, and a classification model to predict the likelihood of a player being named 'Man of the Match'. These models were trained and tested using standard machine learning techniques including Random Forest and Logistic Regression, and achieved encouraging accuracy and consistency. The results highlight that even with limited but structured data; it is possible to uncover meaningful insights into player contributions. This work serves as a step toward bridging the gap between traditional sports analysis and modern data-driven methods in Indian football. This study approach is scalable, accessible, and adaptable for teams, coaches, and analysts aiming to adopt a more objective and data-informed strategy.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
