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

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

Passing−0.04

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

Interrupting−0.05

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

Receiving−0.06

Getting open and receiving the ball in dangerous areas.

Shooting−0.09

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

Replacement adjustment−0.06

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.
