FAQ
What data does WhoScored use for its player ratings?
WhoScored's proprietary player ratings are powered by Opta's comprehensive event data. The algorithm analyzes over 200 raw statistics per player per match, weighting actions based on their impact on the game. Positive actions like goals, assists, key passes, and successful tackles increase the rating, while negative actions like missed tackles, errors leading to goals, and dispossessions decrease it. The result is a detailed 1-10 scale rating that provides a nuanced view of a player's overall contribution.
Does WhoScored cover leagues outside of Europe?
While WhoScored's primary focus and most detailed coverage is on major European leagues (like the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1), continental competitions (Champions League, Europa League), and international tournaments, it also provides data for select top-flight leagues and competitions from other continents, though the depth of analysis for these may vary compared to the core European coverage.
