Goals and assists mean nothing for a goalkeeper: the goal goes to the most clean sheets (games started without conceding, from Sorare’s match sheets; league games per season, national team games too over all seasons). Each player’s position is the one he holds most often in our albums over the period. Sorare counts league games and senior national team games: no cups, no European competitions. Youth and reserve teams are left out. National teams only count over all seasons, as Sorare files them by competition edition (every 2026 World Cup qualifier sits in 2026). Calendar-year leagues (MLS, Brazil, Scandinavia, Asia): the 2026-27 season is the year 2026.

Best average Sorare score in each position, in league games played, at least 60 games. Sorare only keeps game scores since 19 January 2023: 2022-23 only counts its second half, and all seasons is the average over all those games. Each player’s position is the one he holds most often in our albums over the period.
