VICE Sports Series 'The Number Game'

Whether it’s advanced metrics or the rise of fantasy sports, data are changing the way we experience sport.

In new VICE Sports series, The Numbers Game, we take a deep dive into the world of PERs, Win Shares, and a host of new sports metrics.

We check in with their biggest proponents—the companies pushing their data as the next big thing, the GMs trying to turn stats into dynasties, and the coaches putting it all into practice.

In the first episode of The Numbers Game we explore the use of advanced data in the AFL and look at how new statistics are used to tell the story of the game.

Watch Episode One here.

Episode two will explore how GPS data is used to track elite rugby league players in training and in game.

Episode three looks at how data can help rebuild sports people's bodies; featuring 24 year old professional basketballer Perry Jones who played for Oklahoma City Thunder before his NBA career was cut down by injury.

This series was made in partnership with Draftstars.

ABOUT VICE SPORTS

VICE Sports is a channel dedicated to the game beyond the game, where the unbridled passion of the true fan shines through, for better or for worse. Headlined by originalvideo content and distinct voices, VICE Sports shines a light on the endless array of characters both inside and outside of the game that tend to inspire such undeniable, and at times, unreasonable devotion. More often than not, the compelling stories and rich experiences that sit in the sports sidecar tend to eclipse the sport itself. We're here to celebrate that.

ABOUT DRAFTSTARS

We provide our players with a digital sporting experience that transfers all the grit, intensity and glory from the professional sporting arena. Draftstars is a joint venture between CrownBet and Fox Sports, and is the Official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner of the AFL. We are based in Melbourne and are proudly Australian.
