Statside keeps the score for your regular football game. One person records the result, and everyone in the group sees the table, the stats and the bragging rights update straight away. MADE FOR YOUR GROUP Create a group for your weekly kickabout and share the invite code. Everyone who plays joins with their own account, so the stats follow the players, not the phone. RECORD RESULTS IN SECONDS Pick the red and blue teams, enter the score and name the man of the match. Turn on goalscorers and you can log who scored and any own goals too. LEADERBOARD AND SEASON STATS See who has the best win rate, who turns up most and who is on a streak. Every player gets a profile with their appearances, wins, draws and losses over the season. PLAYER RATINGS Switch on ratings and Statside works out a rating for every player from the results, updated after each game. See who is climbing and who is sliding on the players list, the leaderboard and each profile. HEAD TO HEAD Compare any two players: record when they meet, ratings, man of the match awards and season form. Perfect for settling the argument about who really carries the team. BADGES AND AWARDS Hat-tricks, man of the match, player of the month and team of the year are all recognised automatically from the results you record. TEAM SELECTION Pick the teams for the next game from the players who are in, and save the line-up ready to record the result afterwards. BUILT FOR ONE THING No ads, no tracking, no feeds. Statside does one job: keeping an honest record of your group's football.
