PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against regulars in the same group (50 = median).

Where WAR comes from (in wins)

Receiving+0.21

Getting open and receiving the ball in dangerous areas.

Shooting+0.05

The value of his shots: the quality of the chance and what he makes of it.

Fouling−0.03

Fouls drawn (free kicks, penalties won) minus fouls committed.

Interrupting−0.04

Breaking up the opponent's play: tackles, interceptions, clearances, blocked shots.

Passing−0.08

How his passes change his team's chances of scoring and conceding.

Dribbling−0.22

Carrying the ball and beating defenders, minus the balls lost.

Replacement adjustment+0.07

The parts above are measured against the position average. This adjustment moves the baseline to a fringe player in his group, prorated by minutes: positive when fringe players do worse than average, negative when they do better.
