his quality rating: club, age and measured output. The board orders by this plus his World Cup form, less a discount for how much we can measure him.

the ± is how settled the number is, more minutes, tighter band

potential ~1513 ±80 a projection, not a measurement: room left on the goalkeeper age curve

Where he starts (his team’s strength, we refuse to invent what we haven’t measured) plus two fixed nudges make the quality rating above; the last line is what national-team results have added since, taking it to his full roster Elo.

A forward-only shadow signal, as of 1970-01-01. The skill term comes from our own xG models over the open archive; the rest is earned, recorded per appearance, auditable, never back-filled. It never moves a live call.

The notebook

The lines a beat writer keeps, except every one of ours is read off the ledger above, auditable to the night. Nothing invented.

Not one folded match yet, today's number is all prior (shirt, age, measured skill). His first night will move it.

What he’d cost · our estimate

We don’t price him yet. Our fee model leans on the level he plays at, and no trusted source has given us his club’s strength. We’d rather show nothing than a number we don’t trust.
