Researchers have developed ScoutGPT, a generative model that treats football match events as sequential tokens within a language modeling framework. This approach, utilizing a NanoGPT-based Transformer architecture, learns match dynamics to predict outcomes in hypothetical scenarios. Experiments on K League data demonstrated that ScoutGPT can assess player-specific impact beyond traditional metrics by simulating player transfers and their effects on offensive progression and goal probabilities.
