2022 MLS player ratings: finishing, passing, dribbling, defending, shot stopping
Ratings from 0 to 100, computed from data over four seasons, never by hand, specific to each position: a striker's finishing and shot threat, a winger's vision and dribbling, a midfielder's or defender's passing and defending, a goalkeeper's shot stopping, distribution and claiming, durability, experience. OV weights them by position. No potential rating: we only rate what the player has shown.

How it's calculatedHide the method
As in the other leagues: four weighted seasons (50%, 25%, 15%, 10%), a prior toward the group average by sample size, the percentile rank among the group's regulars, then the rating (50th percentile → 75, 90th → 87, 99.5th → 97). Durability: share of his club's minutes played, over several seasons. Experience: MLS seasons since 2021. Neither PAL nor WAR enters OV. Hover a header to read what each rating measures.
