World Cup 2022 Player Ratings

Analysis

• •The top of the table is “finalist gravity.” The #1–#3 spots are owned by Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Antoine Griezmann — basically the two finalists + the key creator-finisher combo.
• •Your model rewards “tournament-carry + end product,” not just goals. Messi is #1 with 7G/3A in 7 (rating 83.91) while Mbappé is #2 with 8G/2A in 7 (rating 81.52) — both maxed on output and minutes, so they separate from the pack.
• •Deep-run midfielders are heavily represented right behind the stars. You’ve got semi-finalists/finalists like Aurelien Tchouameni and multiple Croatia midfielders sitting very high overall, which screams “consistent influence across 6–7 matches” as a scoring driver.

Analysis

• •The forward table is the “final story” in numbers. Messi (7G/3A) and Mbappé (8G/2A) are miles clear at #1–#2, and then Griezmann sits #3 with 0G/3A — a great example of your system still rewarding elite creation without scoring.
• •England’s forwards rate well when they combine output + efficiency. Harry Kane is in the top 10 with 2G/3A in 5 (ratio 1.00), which shows assists + productivity per match can compete even without a 7-game run.
• •“Short-run impact” still gets respect. Cody Gakpo makes the top 10 with 3 goals in 5 — proof that a hot tournament burst can stay top-tier even if the team doesn’t reach the final.

Analysis

• •This list is stacked with “chance-creators + controllers.” Bruno Fernandes sits on top with 2G/3A in 4 (ratio 1.25), while deep-run tempo guys (Croatia/Argentina) stay high through minutes and stability.
• •Finalist mids get a big boost from minutes. Tchouaméni (7 matches, 623 minutes) is high even with modest output — that’s the “trusted every round” effect showing up clearly.
• •Croatia’s run shows how mids can dominate a tournament ranking. Multiple Croatia midfielders sit in your top midfield group with huge minutes (mid-600s), which fits how tournament football rewards reliability when games get tight.

Analysis

• •Defenders who add any end product jump fast. Josko Gvardiol leads the defenders with 1 goal in 7 and max minutes (690), which is basically the perfect tournament profile: ever-present + decisive moment.
• •Fullbacks that create chances are premium. Theo Hernandez ranks #2 with 1G/2A — that’s a defender contributing like a winger in a short competition.
• •Deep runs dominate the list. Croatia + France + Morocco defenders fill a lot of the top 10 (including Achraf Hakimi), which lines up with your scoring favoring sustained performance across 6–7 matches.

Analysis

• •Your GK table rewards “big-stage consistency.” Dominik Livakovic is #1 (7 matches, 690 minutes, rating 71.52) — essentially perfect availability + performance through the whole run.
• •Hero runs can beat long runs. Wojciech Szczesny is #2 with only 4 matches / 360 minutes but a 70.55 rating — that’s the “high-impact in fewer games” signal.
• •Semi-finalists/finalists naturally cluster in the top 10. You’ve got multiple keepers from the deepest runs (Argentina/France/Morocco) plus strong performers like Pickford and Alisson, which matches the idea that tournament GKs gain value through both clean performances and surviving rounds.
