Three models of our own, built for one decision: who to sign.
MrktEdge Rating answers how good a player is. Style Match answers how well they fit the way your team plays. Transfer Success answers how long they are likely to need before they perform for you. Together they turn a search across many leagues and levels into a shortlist you can act on.
MrktEdge Rating How good is this player, compared with players everywhere?
Our own machine-learning model gives each player one rating per season in their league, and ranks them in the league and among players in the same role. Higher is better.
It is built to compare players across leagues and levels, so you can find players in leagues you don't watch every week.

We give the result in words, never as a number.
