Fig. 4: Player positions are determined from the shape graph of each individual tracking data frame.

a Based on structure and geometry, players are assigned color-coded vertical and horizontal levels. b Their combination is translated into a tactical position according to a matrix template. Because of their typical positioning patterns, left and right full backs (LB, RB) and wide forwards (LF, RF) are expected to be found in either of two matrix cells.
