The player radar

The radar draws a player's six marks as one shape. Across the players measured, Form followed the Rating more closely than any other axis, and Game time least closely, in every position.

What does the radar add to the grade?

The grade averages the six marks. The radar keeps them apart, all on one fixed scale from 0 to 100.

Granit Xhaka and Dominik Szoboszlai, both midfielders, had the same Rating mark, 84 (an L10 of about 62), and the same B grade. Xhaka had 8 in Decisive, Szoboszlai 70.

Same Rating, same grade, two different shapes

The six marks of each player, drawn from the centre (0) to the outer ring (100), with the letter of each axis. The two differed most on Decisive.

Midfielder, grade B

Dominik Szoboszlai

Midfielder, grade B

Granit Xhaka (Sunderland) and Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool), last 10 matches, measured on 23 September 2026. Both had an L10 of about 62. Axis letters: S at 100, A from 90, B from 70, C from 30, D from 10, E under 10. The grade uses other bands. Source: sorlineup.

Which axes say the same thing?

Form and Rating, most of all. Form's five matches are among the Rating's ten. Each axis also shows a letter, and for 72% of players Form and Rating had the same one.

Consistency and Resilience followed the Rating too, a little less closely than Form. Game time followed it least. When you read a radar, start with Game time: it is the axis the Rating tells you least about. Game time counts club matches and the national team matches the player was called up for, including, in both cases, matches he spent on the bench.

Do good players have a full radar?

Rarely. Of the players with a Rating mark of 70 or more, about 6% reached 70 on the other five axes too.

A mark of 70 means something different on each axis. Among all players, 13% reached it on Rating, about 6% on Resilience and about 7% on Decisive, the two axes where it was rarest.

On Resilience, a mark of 70 is an average score of 55 over the matches the team did not win, the same 55 that gives 70 on Rating. On Decisive, it is a decisive action (a goal, an assist, a goalkeeper's clean sheet) in about one match in two.

How does position change the shape?

The scale is the same for every position, so the position shows in the shape. About 30% of goalkeepers had 100 in Game time, against fewer than 1% of forwards. And 59% of defenders had under 10 in Decisive, against 33% of forwards.

Compare a radar only with radars of the same position.

Method and limits

The figures cover 11,615 players in all positions, measured once, on 23 September 2026, from their last 10 matches. Of them, 1,543 had a Rating mark of 70 or more, and 87 had 70 or more on all six axes. Resilience has no mark until a player has three matches his team did not win, and a player without one is not among the 87. The scale does not adjust for the league, and nothing here measures what a shape says about future scores.
