How to read the boards
- Top 6
- Opponents who finished 1st–6th (completed seasons) or sat 1st–6th at kick-off (live seasons).
- Middle
- Everyone between the two sixes. In a 20-team league that is 7th–14th; in an 18-team league, 7th–12th.
- Bottom 6
- Opponents who finished in the last six places, or sat there at kick-off.
- Gameweek 1
- Live ranking skips GW1 because the table is empty. Those matches inherit last season’s finishing band. Newly promoted clubs start as Bottom 6.
- GI
- Goal involvements: goals plus assists, league games only.
- PK
- Penalties scored (not awarded, not missed).
- Excl penalties
- Goals or goal involvements with penalty kicks removed. Free kicks and corners still count.
- CS (GK and DF)
- Clean sheets credited to goalkeepers and defenders. Attackers show a dash.
- Giant-killers
- Clubs ranked by points per game against the Top 6 (minimum four such matches).
- Bullies
- Clubs: share of goals vs the Bottom 6. Players: 5+ goals with at least half vs Bottom 6, or 10+ goals with under 10% vs Top 6.
- Suggested scorer
- The player on that club with the most goals (or assists / clean sheets) against the opponent’s current band, adding this season and last season. Not a lineup or injury check.
- League games only
- Domestic league matches in the five competitions. No cups, super cups, or UEFA nights. League tables, badges and compare stay on this contract.
- Other Big Games
- Knockout games that actually test a player: Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, plus the World Cup and European Championship — quarter-finals through the final. Appearances count those who started, plus anyone who scored as a substitute. Assists are not in the UEFA match feed, so they are not shown. Domestic cups, Copa América, AFCON, Gold Cup and South American club competitions will follow. Lives on the player page only, so league boards stay fast.
