MinuteMine
A youth-football scouting feed that watches every Premier League pre-season friendly and tells academy coaches, recruitment scouts, and obsessives which under-21 players logged minutes, where, and how they were used.
lower-league scouts, academy recruitment staff, and serious fan scouts tracking loan and breakout candidates
- Auto-clipped appearance log for every academy and trial player in any top-flight friendly
- Side-by-side comparison vs prior pre-seasons to spot who's been promoted into first-team minutes
- Tactical-usage tag — 'played inverted LB', 'dropped into 6', 'false 9' — automatically inferred
- Watchlist alerts when a tracked player appears for the first time in a senior friendly
The Bournemouth-Augsburg source names six youth/fringe players (Toth, Jebbison, Gannon-Doak, Unal, Dacosta Gonzalez, Rees-Dottin) by name and minute — exactly the audience the match is opaque to right now.
FPL-focused 'pre-season minutes tracker' from Fantasy Football Scout already exists and is actively published each summer (2025/26 and 2026/27 editions), proving clear interest in pre-season minute data — but the youth/under-21 recruitment audience is a much narrower subset.FPL 2026/27: Our Pre-season Minutes Tracker is live! ↗Premier League clubs' 2026 pre-season fixtures and results ↗
Hudl/Wyscout dominates professional scouting, while Ballwatch, ScoutSync and Eyeball/Sportsbase cover AI/video scouting; none focuses narrowly on pre-season friendly youth minutes, but FPL trackers partially overlap from the fantasy side.Ballwatch Recruitment Platform ↗Hudl Wyscout ↗Wyscout alternatives in 2026 ↗
Lower-league and academy scouts are notoriously budget-constrained and the closest comparable product (FFScout minutes tracker) is free; Wyscout Talent Center pricing is opaque and aimed at paying clubs, not individual obsessives.Pricing Options and Subscription Plans - Wyscout • Hudl ↗FPL pre-season friendlies minutes tracker - Premier League ↗
Pre-season is roughly 4–6 weeks per summer; the product is largely dormant the rest of the year unless extended into regular-season U21 tracking, limiting stickiness and annual revenue.Premier League clubs' 2026 pre-season fixtures and results ↗
Friendly results and lineups are publicly available via Premier League and club sites, making a scraping + structured feed tractable; the youth tagging layer is the harder curation step.Premier League clubs' 2026 pre-season fixtures and results ↗
