Club World Cup 2025 Player Ratings

Analysis

• •This tournament’s top 3 is a perfect “winner + deep-run + two-way impact” mix. Cole Palmer is #1 with 3G/2A in 6 (rating 76.36), while Achraf Hakimi (#2) stacks rare defender output (2G/2A in 7) and Vitinha (#3) sits high through consistent midfield influence across 7 matches / 630 mins.
• •Your model clearly likes “impact per match” more than raw minutes alone. Players with strong ratios and contributions (like Gonzalo Garcia at 4G/1A in 6, ratio 0.83) can rank above players who logged huge minutes but had fewer decisive actions.
• •Club dominance shows up hard — especially the finalists. Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain occupy a big chunk of the top 20, which matches the bracket results (Chelsea winning the final, PSG reaching it).

Analysis

• •It’s not a “Golden Boot table” — it’s a “who delivered in the big rounds” table. Pedro Neto leads with 3 goals in 6 (74.26), but Michael Olise stays right near the top with 3G/2A in only 5 and a perfect 1.00 ratio.
• •The forward top 10 has a “supporting cast matters” vibe. You’ve got high-ranked attackers with modest totals (ex: 1G/2A profiles) because in short tournaments, one assist in a semi or final weighs a lot.
• •Representation isn’t just Europe’s top two. Fluminense FC has a top-10 forward (Jhon Arias), showing your scoring still rewards standout output even without winning the tournament.

Analysis

• •The midfield list is dominated by “goal contributions + control.” Palmer (3G/2A) is basically winger output from midfield, while Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz (3G/1A) show how steady influence across 7 matches keeps midfielders elite.
• •Deep runs amplify midfielder rankings. PSG midfielders (Vitinha, João Neves, Ruiz) and Real Madrid mids (Arda Güler, Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham) sit high because they played the most meaningful minutes in the tournament.
• •Efficiency spikes stand out. Kenan Yildiz makes the top 10 with 3G/1A in 4 (ratio 1.00) — classic “short-run monster” profile that climbs fast in tournament formats.

Analysis

• •This defender table is the definition of modern football: fullbacks + output. Hakimi is #1 with 2G/2A, and the rest is loaded with wide defenders like Nuno Mendes and Marc Cucurella — meaning your system rewards involvement, not just “clean sheet aura.”
• •One decisive action is huge for defenders. Players like Sergio Ramos and Nicolas Otamendi jump into the top 10 with a goal (and in Otamendi’s case an assist too) — in short competitions, that’s a ranking cheat code.
• •Minutes still matter — but only when combined with stability. Several top defenders are in the ~500–590 minute zone (Hakimi 592, Mendes 532, etc.), which suggests “trusted starter across deep rounds” is a strong baseline for your defender scoring.

Analysis

• •GK is tightly packed at the top — it’s basically a consistency battle. Robert Sanchez leads at 71.40, with Bono (71.13) and Gianluigi Donnarumma (71.05) right behind — tiny gaps, big rank swings.
• •Deep runs predict top-10 keeper spots. Chelsea/PSG/Real keepers are all present (including Thibaut Courtois), which fits how tournament GKs get value by simply surviving rounds and stacking full matches.
• •“Hero in fewer games” still gets rewarded. Keepers on 4-match runs (ex: John Victor, Di Gregorio, Ustari) still land in the top 10—suggesting your model captures strong performances even without reaching the final.
