MatchGrade

stat sheet in, honest number out

Football player rating calculator

MatchGrade turns a football stat line into a rating out of 10, the same way match-day rating services do — but transparently, showing exactly which stats moved the number. Choose a position, enter the match stats, and get an instant score.

Every position is weighted differently. A goalkeeper's rating leans on saves and clean sheets; a striker's leans on goals and shot quality; a central midfielder sits somewhere between defensive actions and creative output.

Pick a position and enter this match's stats to get a rating.

Why "football" and "soccer" ratings work the same way

This page and the soccer player rating calculator use the identical scoring engine — the difference is only naming convention, since football is the standard term for the sport outside North America. Whichever you search for, the position weighting, the 6.0 baseline, and the stat inputs are the same.

Positions covered

What makes a rating go up or down

Positive contributions include goals, assists, key passes, successful dribbles, tackles won, interceptions, clean sheets, and strong pass accuracy relative to position norms. Negative contributions include goals conceded (weighted more heavily for defensive positions), errors leading to a goal, yellow and red cards, and being dispossessed frequently in advanced positions.
