Engagement
A typical post picks up 545 interactions against 409K followers, an engagement rate of 0.133%. Measured over 31 original posts, its engagement rate beats 73% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 22K times each, and 2.46% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.43% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 31 posts sampled, 90% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 19% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 9.3K interactions, about 17x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ligaf, #solokuspecial, #3sports.

Compared with accounts its own size
Gary Al-Smith's engagement rate beats 73% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 76% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 21:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

YAYA TOURÉ MAKES CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HISTORY! Following Slovan Bratislava’s qualification against Celje, 🇨🇮 Yaya becomes the first African coach to lead a team into the CL league phase! 🇳🇬 Ndubuisi Egbo had already made history in 2020 as the first African to manage a club in the CL with KF Tirana, but his team did not reach the league phase. Congratulations to Yaya! 🙌🏿

🇬🇭 Daniel Laryea has passed his FIFA Fitness Test, retaining his status as a FIFA Referee and Video Assistant Referee (VAR). Usually this is not/should not be news, but it is, because Laryea recently failed his last annual fitness test for the first time after 20 straight years of passing each time. Laryea says he failed the recent one because he'd been combining elite-level refereeing with postgraduate studies and extensive international travel. The ref, well remembered for being in charge of the Morocco vs Nigeria AFCON 2025 semifinal, is currently pursuing an MPhil in Sports and Exercise Science at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW).

🇬🇭 André Ayew on why he said nothing during the period before the WC regarding his non-inclusion in the team. "I was playing regularly for NAC Breda, and I know some people were calling for me to be part. To be fair, some of the players who went to the World Cup, they didnt have a lot of gametime in the season." "People said a lot of things." "A lot of people in the [GFA, media and elsewhere] did me a lot of wrong. I felt it. But I did not say one word [because] I cannot spit on my country because of certain people. Ghana is more important." Speaking on the Mikel Obi podcast.

🇬🇭 Brandon Thomas-Asante on Caleb Yirenkyi: "I call him the modern N’Golo Kante. He’s so quiet and keeps himself to himself. However, he is a really confident character. He is quietly confident. Just because of the love I have for him. When the ball hit the back of the net, he ran off and I was on the other side, and I couldn’t believe we had scored this late in the game. There were two groups of huddles celebrating. I remember I was looking at Caleb and I was so pleased for him. That whole feeling resonated with me and I enjoyed that.” [Via PL TV]

Diego Simeone: "I have to apologize to [Ademola] Lookman; I know that’s not his position. We needed him to help us there because Sorloth is injured and Julián is working his way back to his best form. He’s a great kid and he’s working hard, but he was missing the things he enjoys most: dribbling, scoring goals, taking players on one-on-one. We’ll get him back to doing those things once we have our attacking players available again." [DAZNFutbol]

- What is Gary Al-Smith's engagement rate on X?
- Gary Al-Smith (@garyalsmith) has an engagement rate of 0.133%, based on the median interactions across 31 original posts from the last 30 days against 408,669 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.133%, Gary Al-Smith sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,459 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @garyalsmith have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 73% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @garyalsmith post?
- Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.23 posts per day across the measured window.
