About the data

Rankings use up to each team's five most recent matches or each player's five most recent appearances. The latest season and round included are shown with every result.

A Last 5 result requires at least three available values in that five-match or five-appearance window.

When MatchFit does not have a value for a match or appearance, that record is left out of the average.

Recent players are those who appeared in one of the latest 5 rounds covered by the data.

Use the club and position filters to narrow the player list. The filters do not change which appearances are used in each player's value.

Player rankings require at least 25 tackle involvements across tackles made, missed tackles and ineffective tackles in the selected period.

The season view averages the available current-season matches and appearances.
