Season One. Every fact on this site is sourced.

Southern Scout maintains an independent, verified record of the OFC Professional League — every club, every player, every goal, each fact traceable to its source. Where the record is incomplete, it says so.

The public record of this league is thin. Where coverage exists at all, it is a scoreline and sometimes a scorer. Nobody is watching the football.

What we produce

The report

One player. Three complete matches. Two hundred and seventy minutes of footage, watched end to end, with every action he takes recorded against the minute it happened.

Nothing in the report is asserted. Every judgement is traceable to a timestamped entry in the appendix, so it can be checked against the footage. Where the record is incomplete, it says so.

What is in it

Ten sections
  1. 01Verdict & recommendationWhere he fits, where he would not, and what to do about him. Two sentences a recruiter can act on.
  2. 02The recordTwenty measures across finishing, creation, duels, carrying, pace and possession — normalised per ninety minutes. Penalties separated from open play.
  3. 03The clockAll three matches, every action plotted against the minute it happened. When a player does his work, and when he stops.
  4. 04StrengthsThree to five, each carrying the timestamps that evidence it.
  5. 05LimitationsThree to five. Written to be unfavourable where the record is unfavourable.
  6. 06Key momentsEvery goal, assist and big chance made or missed, with the read on each.
  7. 07AttributesThirteen, scored across the three matches. The scout’s judgement, stated as judgement.
  8. 08ProjectionThe ceiling, the conditions required to reach it, and the risk of it not being reached.
  9. 09Scout’s notesTaken live, during the match, unedited afterwards.
  10. 10AppendixEvery action, in the minute it happened, unabridged. So the report can be checked against the footage.

Illustrative sample — a fictional player, a fictional fixture. No real player’s assessment is published.

Reports are prepared from full-match footage. If that would be useful to you — for one player, or for the league — write to me.
