WAR and PAL Rating, 2026

How we rate →

WAR: the goals added (g+) of each of his actions, above replacement level (the per-minute output of his group's fringe players), converted to standings points (0.64 points per goal), then to wins (3 points = one win). PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against regulars in the same group (50 = median).

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

Interrupting−0.01

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