About the data

Rankings use up to each team's five most recent matches or each player's five most recent appearances. The latest season and round included are shown with every result.

A Last 5 result requires at least three available values in that five-match or five-appearance window.

When MatchFit does not have a value for a match or appearance, that record is left out of the average.

When a player took the field and the source shows a dash for the statistic, MatchFit counts the value as zero.

Recent players are those who appeared in one of the latest 5 rounds covered by the data.

Use the club and position filters to narrow the player list. The filters do not change which appearances are used in each player's value.

The season view averages the available current-season matches and appearances.

A season total is shown only when every current-season match or appearance in MatchFit's data has a value.
