Rating Consensus
An aggregator that pulls post-match player ratings from BBC, Sky, The Athletic, WhoScored, and other outlets into a single AI-summarized consensus score, so England fans can settle bar arguments without opening ten tabs.
England and Premier League fans who obsess over post-match player ratings
- Single consensus rating per player per match, blended across five or more outlets
- AI one-paragraph summary of how pundits and fans reacted to each player's performance
- Season-long form graph showing rating trajectory and standout outliers
- Push alert when any tracked player's rating swings more than 0.5 from their average
England at a major tournament drives enormous engagement around player ratings; the data lives in many outlets and no one has consolidated the conversation into one feed.
Active fan demand confirmed: r/PremierLeague has threads like 'Best player ratings app' seeking exactly this, and dedicated apps like Football Player Ratings and Fanalysis exist with fan-ratings as core feature.Best player ratings app : r/PremierLeague - Reddit ↗Football Player Ratings on the App Store ↗
Direct aggregator doesn't exist, but Sofascore, FotMob, and WhoScored each ship their own proprietary ratings and have massive install bases; Fanalysis (Sky-backed) already owns the fan-ratings niche, leaving a narrow gap for multi-outlet consensus.Fanalysis: supporter-driven player ratings, manager verdicts, and perspectives on Sky Sports ↗FotMob - Football Live Scores ↗
Weak WTP: Fanalysis is free, BBC/WhoScored/FotMob ratings are free, and The Athletic is paywalled so aggregating its ratings risks scraping/licensing issues; no obvious premium hook beyond an ad-supported tier.FAQ - App & Community — Fanalysis ↗What is Fanalysis?

Engagement spikes around tournaments but baseline interest is durable across the Premier League season.
MVP is straightforward (scrape a few outlets, average scores, LLM summary) but brittle: outlet HTML changes, paywalls on Athletic, and rate-limits make ongoing maintenance non-trivial.
