How we score
The 12thman rating, explained
Every player gets a single number out of 10, built the way an analyst would — from what they’ve actually done on the pitch, not reputation. Here’s how it’s calculated.
Their last 30 matches
We pull each player’s most recent 30 competitive games — club and international, no friendlies. Every stat is converted to a per-90-minutes rate so a starter and a sub are compared fairly, and recent games are weighted more heavily than old ones.
Position-specific sub-parameters
A goalkeeper and a striker aren’t judged on the same things. Each position has 4–5 sub-parameters— e.g. a forward’s Goal scoring, Finishing, Creativity, Dribbling & duels and Involvement; a defender’s Defensive actions, Duels, Solidity, Distribution and Attacking threat. Each is built from the relevant raw metrics (goals, key passes, tackles, duels won, save %, and so on).
Ranked against their peers
For each metric, a player is percentile-ranked against every other player in their position. Those ranks combine into a sub-parameter score out of 10 — so a 9 means top of the position, a 5 means about average.
Weighted into one number
The sub-parameters are blended by importance (scoring matters most for a forward, shot-stopping for a keeper) into a base rating out of 10.
Adjusted for league strength
A standout season in a stronger league counts for more. The base is scaled by a league-strength multiplier, giving the final overall rating.
Team ratings
A team’s rating is the average of its best XI— the top keeper, four defenders, and the strongest midfield/attack balance (4-4-2 or 4-3-3, chosen from the squad’s shape).
