Ratings

Attack & defense, on a 0–100 scale.

Each team's latent rating mapped linearly so the 5th and 95th percentile of FIFA-member teams sit at 10 and 90. Strength is the sum; the ±band is one bootstrap σ. Defense (cool) sits behind attack (signal) on the bar so high-strength teams reveal both edges.

Reading the bars

The blue (rear) bar is defense; the red (front) bar is attack. A team that is balanced shows the red bar covering most of the blue. A team that scores well but concedes badly shows the red bar far further right than the blue. The vertical hairline marks strength ÷ 2 — a midpoint reference for visual scanning.

Squad clubs is the minutes-weighted average strength of the leagues each squad-member plays in (curated 0–100 table, Premier League = 100). Δ vs model shows how that pool compares to our match-results rating — a positive Δ flags a team whose club-quality pool is richer than its on-field results so far would suggest. The model does not consume this number; it is a cross-check shown alongside.
