Copa América 2024 Player Ratings

Analysis

• •This is a creator-led tournament ranking. James Rodriguez sits #1 with 1 goal + 6 assists in 6 matches (ratio 1.17), which is exactly what happens when your model heavily rewards chance-creation + decisive actions.
• •The final/late-stage teams shape the top. Your bracket shows Argentina national football team winning the final 1–0 over Colombia national football team, and those two nations dominate the top ranks (multiple players + the top keeper tier).
• •“Hero run” keepers can still crash the top 5. Rafael Romo is #4 overall with only 4 matches / 360 minutes—that’s your model rewarding standout performances even without a finalist-level run.

Analysis

• •This isn’t a “minutes table” — it’s an “impact table.” Lautaro Martinez is #3 with 5 goals in 6, despite just 236 minutes—classic tournament profile: high-leverage output beats pure time on the pitch.
• •Efficiency pops hard in short runs. Salomon Rondon ranks #2 with 3G/1A in 4 (ratio 1.00), showing how “carry-job” production climbs fast when matches are limited.
• •The forward top 10 is balanced: finalists + breakouts. You’ve got Argentina/Colombia names high (deep run advantage), but Canada and Uruguay forwards also place because the table is rewarding consistent contribution, not just the winner’s squad.

Analysis

• •Midfield #1 is basically the tournament’s “chance-creation engine.” #1 mid has 6 assists in 6 matches, which explains why a midfielder is topping the entire tournament rankings.
• •Uruguay and Argentina dominate the midfield top 10 because they combined deep runs with control minutes. You have Federico Valverde (#2), Manuel Ugarte (#3), Nicolas de la Cruz (#5), plus Alexis Mac Allister (#6), Enzo Fernandez (#8), and Rodrigo de Paul (#9) — basically a “control core” from the teams that stayed alive late.
• •Uruguay’s midfield presence is heavy even without big G/A. That’s a strong signal your model values ball-winning/tempo control when it’s sustained across the whole tournament.

Analysis

• •Defender #1 is a “reliability anchor.” Cristian Romero leads with 5 matches / 480 minutes and no G/A—so your defender scoring clearly captures consistent defending impact beyond end product.
• •A single goal/assist is a massive separator for defenders. Daniel Munoz is #7 with 2G/1A in 5 (ratio 0.60)—that’s winger-level contribution pushing a defender up the board.
• •Deep-run teams dominate the defender list too. Argentina + Colombia stack the top 10 (finalists), with Canada/Uruguay defenders also showing up thanks to high minutes and steady performances.

Analysis

• •Top GK = champion + full starter minutes. Emiliano Martinez is #1 with 6 matches / 570 minutes and a 72.80 rating—exactly what you’d expect when the winner’s keeper stays solid through the run.
• •The “hero run” pattern shows up again. Romo is #2 with only 4 matches, which suggests your GK scoring respects standout performances even with fewer games.
• •After the top group, GK ratings drop fast. You go from the low 70s into the low 60s quickly (and even lower after that), so tiny differences early can cause big rank shifts.
