Every Number, Side By Side
A player comparison here is more than a goals column. Each head-to-head lines both players up across the full range of their game, from raw output to the underlying numbers scouts use, so you can see not just who scored more but how and when. Not sure what a stat means? The football stats guide explains every one.
Career numbers
Goals, assists, goal contributions, appearances and minutes, with goals per game, minutes per goal and average match rating, so totals and efficiency sit side by side.
Season by season
Charts of goals, assists, minutes and match rating for every season on record, so you can see when each player peaked and how long they stayed there.
Per 90 minutes
Output scaled to a full match, the fair way to compare a regular starter with a player who comes off the bench or has missed time through injury.
Advanced analytics
Shooting, creativity, dribbling and duels, defending and discipline: shot accuracy and conversion, key passes, pass accuracy, tackles, interceptions and cards.
Scouting report
Ratings for attacking, technical, tactical, defending and creativity, plus potential, scouting role and injury risk, drawn on a radar for both players at once.
Profile and career path
Age, height, preferred foot, market value, contract and wage, every club played for, transfer history, international caps and goals, and current fitness.

Player Comparison Questions
Which players can I compare?
Any two players in the database, from any position and any league it covers. Comparing players in the same role gives the fairest read, since a striker and a centre-back are judged on different numbers.
How far back does the data go?
Match data covers the 2011/12 season onwards. Earlier seasons aren't included, so career totals for players who started before then can sit below their official figures.
How up to date are the stats?
Stats come from a live football data feed and refresh through the day, so a comparison reflects the latest matches without you doing anything.
Why look at per 90 numbers?
Totals reward whoever has played more. Per 90 figures divide output by minutes played, so a young player in their first full season can be measured fairly against an established star.
