Select a role

Every player is scored 0 to 100 against a role’s stat weighting and ranked. Pick one of our templates from the library below or one of your own. How the score works →

Currently ranking

Role builder

Design your own role in four steps: choose the positions it applies to, pick the stats that define it, share 100 points across them, then name it. Rank every player against it straight away, and once saved it scores on every player profile as role fit and can be used in the detailed player search.

Tip · tick a stat as inverted when lower is better, such as fouls or possession lost, so it counts against the score.
