What is the “XSEED Player Card”?
The XSEED player card is a unique and intuitive feature that summarizes all your technical and athletic performance data in a visually disruptive way. This card includes all the important stats from your games, including shots, passes, distance covered, sprints, heatmap.. and more. It's an easy and convenient way to keep track of your progress over time and to compare your performance with your friends and teammates. Plus, it's very shareable on social media, so you can show off your skills to the world!
How to best geolocate my football pitch
A correct geolocation of the field where you played is essential to obtain accurate data. Please follow the next steps to properly complete the procedure after your session:
Enter the name and street of the pitch where you played. If you want, also insert a photo
Match the vertices of the rectangle with the vertices of the field where you played. Be careful not to reverse the vertices of the rectangle you use to delimit the field.
Important: the pitch has to be selected as in the video below: it has to be VERTICAL. This is crucial for the next step
Remember to correctly select the direction you attacked in the first half
Why is it so important to select the correct playing time?
Selecting the correct playtime is essential to telling your XSEED when to start processing your data and when to stop.
It's really important to set the right playing time to grant XSEED the collected the right data! We suggest to not include the Warm-Up period in your playing time (matches or training) in order to analyse correctly your performance. Eg. Warm up: 14:30. Match starts at 15:00. Select as playing time "from 15:00". If you play, for example, just the second half. Insert the playing time "from 16:00".

XPR, Player Rankings and Metrics
What are 'Touches' as defined by XSEED metrics, and how are they distinct from general ball contacts?
In the XSEED context, 'Touches' specifically denote technical events, not just any contact with the ball. These are the instances where a player executes a skill or move that is fundamental to the game, such as a pass, a shot, or a cross. Unlike a simple measure of ball contacts, 'Touches' are identified and recorded because of their significance in a player's technical performance. This metric provides a clear and precise reflection of the quality and type of a player's technical actions during a match or training session, ensuring users understand their contribution beyond mere contact with the ball.
How do 'All Touches' encompass my performance, and what is the distinction from "Touches" and categorized technical events like passes, shots, and crosses?
All Touches' is a comprehensive metric that includes every technical event you perform during a game—whether that's passing, shooting, or crossing the ball. What sets 'All Touches' apart is its inclusivity; it accounts for all technical ball releases, even if a particular event isn't geolocated due to GPS limitations, like in areas with poor signal, indoor pitches, or other challenging environments. If, for instance, a shot isn't precisely mapped on the pitch because of GPS inaccuracy, it will still be counted under 'All Touches' but may not appear under the more specific 'Touches' category. By providing the 'Touches' metric, XSEED ensures high-quality, granular data that reflects the most significant aspects of your gameplay, emphasizing the accuracy and relevance of your technical contributions.
How often is my XPR score updated?
Your XPR score is typically updated after each match or training session. It reflects your most recent performance data.
Can I see a history of my XPR scores over time?
Yes, you can access a history of your XPR scores within the XSEED App to track your progress and improvements.
How are the weights for different performance metrics determined in the overall XPR calculation?
What should I do if I believe there is an error in my XPR score?
If you believe there is an error in your XPR score, please contact our customer support team at the email customerservice@soccerment.com . They can investigate and address any discrepancies.
Can I compare my Player Ranking to players from different age groups or roles?
Yes, you can compare your Player Ranking to players from different age groups and roles. This provides a broader perspective on your performance relative to a diverse range of players.
How often are the Rankings updated?
The Rankings are typically updated once a week, ensuring that you have access to the most current and relevant data.
How do I improve my Player Ranking in a specific category, such as 11-a-side matches?
To improve your Player Ranking in a specific category, focus on improving the performance metrics relevant to that category. For 11-a-side matches, this might include areas like passing accuracy, shots on target, and running distance.
Is there a limit to the number of times I can change my profile status between "open" and "closed" for Player Rankings?
There is generally no limit to how often you can change your profile status. However, frequent changes may affect the continuity of your Player Rankings data.
Where can I find more in-depth explanations for XPR and Player Rankings?
For detailed explanations and additional information about XPR and Player Rankings, refer to our comprehensive XSEED Handbook. It's a valuable resource for understanding these metrics and their significance in your football journey.

What does the "Virtual Pitch" notification mean?
What does the “Pitch Size Error” notification mean?
The "pitch size error" notification indicates that the field size has not been correctly selected. For example, if you played on an 11-a-side pitch, correctly geolocated and mapped it out, but selected 7-a-side pitch size. By using the "edit session" feature, you can correct this error by selecting the correct field size.
What does the "Indoor Pitch" notification mean?
Once completed your session, you may occur in the notification “Indoor Pitch Selected”. If this notification appears, you won’t be able to see your athletic metrics and your heatmap and smartmaps. As you know, XSEED use GPS to track all your athletic data and to geolocalize you on the pitch, but on indoor pitches the GPS connection usually is unstable or doesn’t even work.
To avoid the showing of partial data or misleading metrics, we decided to hide the stats related to the GPS. You will be able to see your technical stats and number of touches anyway.
It is worth noting that we use of XSEED on indoor pitches is not recommended.
What does the "Internet Error" notification mean?
This type of notification warns you of a lack of internet connection. Check that you are correctly connected to the internet, close your app and try again. If this error persists, try installing your XSEED app again.
If the problem persists, contact us.
What does the "error icon" next to a recorded session indicate?
The presence of an error icon adjacent to a recorded session signifies that there's an issue within that session which requires your attention. It's a prompt for you to review the details of the session to identify and resolve the error. This could be related to data discrepancies, pitch conformity errors, or other aspects that need correction to ensure accurate performance tracking and analysis. To address this, tap on the session, and the app will guide you through the necessary steps to fix the problem.
If the problem persists, contact us.
How can I edit my session on XSEED?
To edit your session, visit the "Session Analytics" section through the app, select the desired game, scroll down, and click on the "Edit Session" button. You can then modify the data entered at the end of the session and recalculate, including game times and any other missing data. Additionally, we have included the option of changing the playing field entered.
What should I do if the stats of my last session don’t seem right?
If, once you downloaded the stats from your last sessions and they just don’t seem right, we suggest you to use the “Tell us more” section, in which you will be able to report the issue you encountered. By doing this, your issues will be reported to our Sports Tech Team who will take full care of your problem and get in contact with you through the following email "customerservice@soccerment.com".
