Statistical profile

Overall and position profile

Major League Soccer

League-only rates. Both figures compare with the same role-family cohort at 450+ minutes (n=116). Percentiles run 0-100; areas are proportional to the percentile. A missing value omits its petal rather than drawing zero.

Coverage and limits

What this profile can and cannot say

Source · API-Football

Current club: Rangers (Scottish Premiership); 2026-27 statistics at Philadelphia Union in the Major League Soccer; Centre back; role family centre_back; cohort basis role_family; cohort n 116.

The provider rating is opaque and relative to the player's league and role cohort. The adjusted percentile is an empirical Premiership alignment, not a measured equivalence. No contracts, wages, fees, release clauses or recommendations are claimed. Forward and progressive passes, carries, pressures and aerial wins are not in the feed.

Also in this build: sco-premiership (810 mins). The profile uses the most-minutes row.
