What technology do they use to say how many meters each player covered during the game? Chelsea covered 144 KM as a team tonight.

p.s, Lad's, don't forget to join inthe Boards.ie Euro Fantasy League,above!!

Was thinking this myself. Pedometers on each player or cameras tracking them individually.

yeah some kind of computerised motion analysis

I often wonder this myself and cant seem to find any info on it.
I half suspect they make it up.

I was wondering about that too. I found this after a bit of googling a while ago but it doesnt say how it does it.

Probably the same as the ones used in the prem. They have ut at anfield, something along the lines of 9 cameras in each corner that can identify each player and their movement throught the game by feeding all of the shots through a program of some description.

They've an individual camera on each player I believe. Some computing wizadry makes it all happen.

Most big clubs use this: http://www.pzfootball.co.uk/ which gives huge indepth analysis on individual players and movements during a match.
