Episode #054: Opta Analyst senior editor and social manager Matt Furniss joins host Jordan Florit to discuss what Opta becoming Liga FUTVE's Official Data Partner means for the league, its clubs, and transfer activity. Matt also provides insight on the deal, including the tools various parts of Liga FUTVE and its clubs will now have access to, such as:

• The Pressbox Live tools for its media and marketing teams' in-game press use
  
• ISF software, containing a live player database of over 700,000 elite global football players, to enhance their domestic and international player scouting operations
  

Matt and Jordan also discuss one of Opta's public use tools, its Global Power Rankings, Adalberto Penaranda and Williams Velasquez, how Opta Joe became iconic branding on social media, and why Matt thinks the partnership will increase the visibility and accessibility of Liga FUTVE's most exportable talents.
