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−0.01

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

Shooting−0.04

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

Dribbling−0.05

Receiving−0.07

Getting open and receiving the ball in dangerous areas.

Replacement adjustment+0.09
