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.

Rating trend
-15 over 3 updatesSeeded from his team’s rating, then moved by the matches he actually played. A shadow signal, it never touches a live call.
Where the -4 was earned
The earned line, opened up by competition. World Cup finals count 1.5×, qualifiers and cups 1×, friendlies and club football half, so a tournament night moves him most.

His latest nights
- 2026-06-16World Cup finals · 22′▼ −5
- 2026-06-04international friendlies · 18′ · team result only▲ +1
Each night’s move blends his team’s result with his own match stats, saves for keepers, tackles and duels for defenders, creation for midfielders, finishing up front. “Team result only” marks games where the feed carried no player stats.
A forward-only shadow signal, as of 2026-06-16. 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.
At this World Cup
What the tournament has done to his rating since the first whistle on 11 Jun, and the matches behind it. Each night’s move blends his team’s result with his own performance, shrunk for sample size, so a strong game nudges the number rather than spiking it.

the rough one
The night that cost him most: −5 – World Cup finals, 2026-06-16. We don't erase those.
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.
