Euro 2024 Player Ratings

Analysis

• •This table screams “Spain’s control + end product.” Your top 2 are both Spain midfielders — Fabian Ruiz (#1) and Dani Olmo (#2) — and both are producing like attackers (Ruiz 2G/2A, Olmo 3G/2A) in only 6 matches.
• •It’s not a pure goals list — creators and controllers survive at the top. You’ve got high-ranked players with low/zero goal contributions (like Toni Kroos sitting very high despite 0G/0A), which signals your rating is capturing influence beyond final actions.
• •Deep tournament runs = ranking advantage. England and Spain dominate the very top because they played more matches (7 for several England players), and that extra “high-leverage minutes” helps separate elite performers from early exits.

Analysis

• •The forward list is “impact per game” > raw totals. Cody Gakpo leads with 3G/1A in 6, while Lamine Yamal ranks #2 largely through chance creation (1G/4A in 7) — that’s a strong signal your model values playmaking volume from wide forwards.
• •Big names don’t auto-win the forward table. Harry Kane has 3 goals and sits top-4, but stars like Kylian Mbappe land mid-pack with more modest totals (1G/1A) — so the ranking is reacting to this tournament’s output, not reputation.
• •The bottom of the top-10 is “efficient cameo value.” Players like Ousmane Dembele make the list even with limited end product (0G/0A) — which suggests minutes/role + underlying influence can still keep a forward competitive in your scoring.

Analysis

• •Midfielders dominate because they affect every phase. Fabián Ruiz (77.71) and Dani Olmo (77.44) aren’t just “clean passers”—they show real attacking output (both goals + assists), which is exactly what pushes midfielders to the very top of your overall rankings.
• •This table tells a balanced story: creators, scorers, and controllers. Jude Bellingham brings goals from midfield, while Toni Kroos ranks highly even with 0G/0A—meaning your rating captures control + tempo + consistency, not just goal contributions.
• •Assists matter a lot here (and that’s good). Joshua Kimmich (2 assists) and Xavi Simons (3 assists) score well because they repeatedly create value—this reads like “chance creation wins tournaments,” which is exactly the type of narrative fans expect under a midfield table.

Analysis

• •Fullbacks are winning the defender table. Marc Cucurella is #1 with an assist and strong rating, while the rest of the list is loaded with wide defenders — suggesting your model likes involvement + stability (not just “CB clean sheet vibes”).
• •Most defenders here got in through reliability (not attacking stats). A lot of the top 10 have 0G/0A but very high minutes — this is your model rewarding “you were trusted every round” + consistent defending.
• •Set-piece spikes can punch through. Merih Demiral sneaks into the top 10 with 2 goals in 4 matches, showing that a defender with decisive moments can leapfrog “steady” defenders quickly in a short tournament.

Analysis

• •GK ratings are tight — it’s a consistency contest. #1 Mike Maignan is only a couple points above the next tier, and the list compresses fast (70s down to low 60s), which matches how keepers tend to be separated by small edges.
• •Deep runs help, but hero runs still show up. England/Spain keepers are high (more matches), but Giorgi Mamardashvili appears strongly with fewer matches — suggesting “big-game shot stopping” can still earn top-10 value without a long run.
• •Clean roles + minutes = top-10 stability. Most of these keepers sit in the 360–690 minute range, implying your model heavily favors “starter-level reliability” over one-off sub appearances.
