Also in that top 15: Gvardiol, Saka, Pedri and Wirtz.

Rated on results, not on actions

Most ratings count passes, tackles and shots, then decide what each one is worth. We don't count actions. We look at whether a team does better or worse with a player on the pitch, allowing for the quality of his teammates and his opponents.

The player, not the team

Each player gets his own number, even in a strong team. The model knows who played alongside him and who he played against.

One scale for every league

Every league sits on the same scale, so a Swiss Challenge League midfielder can be compared with a Bundesliga one.

Updated every day

Each night's results are in the next morning's ratings, for every player in every league we cover.

Read how the rating works →

We picked them early. They played.

Five times between 2017 and 2021 we asked our rating for the twelve best under-23s in the Swiss Super League, using only games played up to that day. Then we gave every one of them five seasons and compared them with the players who cost the same at the time.

58% vs 34%

were regular starters at Super League level or higher for at least two of the five seasons

75% vs 52%

were regular starters for at least one season

+34%

more league minutes per player over the five seasons

Also in La Liga 2025/26: two games in, our ratings had the top four as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Villarreal and Atlético. That is how it finished. In January we projected Barcelona to finish 8 points clear. They won by 8. Read the post →

Questions we often get

What does the rating measure?

How much a player changes his team's chances of winning when he plays. It is built from match results and lineups: who played, who with, who against, and the score. A higher rating means a bigger positive effect on results.

Isn't that just the strength of his team?

No. The model knows who each player played alongside and against, and how results change with him on the pitch. Two players from the same team can end up far apart.

Can I compare a defender with a striker?

Yes. Everyone is rated on the same thing, their effect on winning, so a centre-back and a striker share one scale. Whether a player suits your system is still a question for your staff.

Which leagues do you cover, and how often is it updated?

More than 500 leagues in 125 countries, from the top divisions down to amateur football. Ratings are updated every day.

How does pricing work?

You pay per season, per country and per division. A single league starts at CHF 1,000 a season, and bundles of several divisions or countries cost less per league. We set up your package on the intro call.

Can I try it first?

Yes. You get two weeks of full access to one league of your choice, free. Book a 30-minute call and we set it up during the call.

Can agents use it?

Yes. Agents use it to show a club what a player adds, and to judge which level suits a client's next move.
