Current definitions require at least 450 minutes in the selected period. Players may have multiple labels or none. Filters use stored assignments and do not recalculate them.
Trait affinity is the rounded equal-weight mean of its component percentiles. It is not an overall player rating or generally a percentile of the combined score. Trait assignment requires an affinity of at least 85.
Roles require a percentile of at least 85, raw affinity of at least 75 and at least five eligible peers. Box-to-Box Midfielder and Complete Forward also require each configured dimension to reach 50. A high displayed percentile alone is insufficient.
The reference is the unique recognized domestic league with the most recorded competition minutes. Cups do not determine it. Ties or missing classification can leave competition-relative scores unavailable; no global score is substituted.
Assignments are read independently for each available period. One selected season competition uses its own labels; charts combining competitions filter by full-season labels. Custom-date chart filters are unavailable. Labels may change when the period or competition changes.
These labels describe statistical patterns, not a definitive tactical role or overall ability. The 450-minute minimum does not guarantee reliability, and metric coverage can vary. No league-strength adjustment or tactical movement inference is applied.
