What each number means

How much a player did in a game. Every action he's involved in counts: credit when it comes off, a cost when it doesn't, and more weight for actions in the places that matter. Each game is scored against the position he played.

Use it for: best player of the game, Team of the Week, how a player's season is going.

Built only from the stats in your games that actually go with winning for his position group: attackers, holding midfielders or the back line. A player can have a huge DD Impact and an average DD Skill. That gap is the interesting part.

DD Skill comes with a likely value and a range. With only a few games, it starts close to average and the range is wide. It narrows the more he plays.

DD Impact works from the first game. DD Skill needs at least 4 appearances, and 10 or more for a confident number. Until then, you'll see how many games he has so far.

Use it for: who stays in the XI, which upgrade is worth the coins.

DD Impact over a player's last five games. It tells you who's playing well right now. It describes the last five; it doesn't promise the next five.

How often a player has a standout game, the kind near the top for his position. It's adjusted so a couple of lucky early games don't inflate it.

Use it for: finding the players who can win a game on their own when it clicks.

A play-style name for every player, by position: Poacher, Regista, Ball Hawk, Libero, Wing Wizard and more. Names come from how he actually plays in your games, with a small nudge from his card attributes.

Goalkeepers are never mixed in with outfield players. They're rated on the shots and chances they face against the goals they let in.
