Earpiece Labs

We built something to answer the biggest question in football

Most serious football analytics stays behind closed doors. We want more people to have access to the good stuff. Earpiece Labs is where we build free tools, powered by the same models as the full platform, each one focused on a single question about the game. Hidden Gems is the first.

We built something to answer the biggest question in football

Hidden Gems

Every recruitment conversation starts with the same question: who should we be looking at? Hidden Gems is built to answer it, with as few steps as possible. Pick a team, and a position if you want to narrow it down. Hidden Gems returns a list of just that, players whose underlying performance sits ahead of where their profile suggests, each with a short note on how they might perform specifically in your system.

How it works

It runs on the same models that power Earpiece. Every player in our database is evaluated across the qualities that matter for their position, things like ball carrying, pressing or defensive contribution depending on the role. Hidden Gems finds the players whose scores sit well above what you'd expect given their league, age and minutes, and matches them against what your team actually needs.

A starting point, not a verdict

The output is a shortlist of players and a quick note on why they are interesting to you. If you want to dig deeper you can click through into Earpiece. For the deeper work, the kind that actually shapes a recruitment decision, Earpiece is where that happens. The full platform lets you compare players against your squad, model how quality translates across leagues and ask the data follow-up questions in plain football language. Hidden Gems is the lightweight version. Earpiece is where you do the work.
