The record's limits
Unknowns register What the public record does not know, why, and what would resolve it. Unknown is a published state, not zero. A class with no public source is labelled rather than estimated or requested from the club.
Reviewed 2026-10-26. Counts come from registered published metrics; the register introduces no number.
Gaps by domain
What is not known 20 classes Unknown is a published state, not zero. The register records gaps in the public record and the source that could close them. It does not request data from the club and does not treat a missing field as a zero.
Availability Availability
No verified team-news entry Resolvable The player has no verified official team-news entry, so availability stays unknown. Absence of an injury report is not evidence of fitness.
Why it is unknown: The curated ledger has no official AFC entry for this player.
Resolving source: Aberdeen FC official team news · Only an official club entry can change the availability state.
Published count: 32 · coverage.surfaces · coverage.json/availability/coverage/unknown
Affects: Matchday · Squad · Player profile · Recruitment
Availability
Provider injury feed is unavailable No public source The licensed provider declares injuries false, so its injury endpoint is not used as team news. The register cannot name a player from it.
Why it is unknown: provider_declares_injuries_false.
No public source currently resolves this class. It stays labelled rather than being estimated.
Affects: Matchday · Squad
Transfers and fees Transfers and fees
Fee not disclosed Resolvable The move is confirmed but no public fee was disclosed. The register keeps the fee undisclosed and does not turn an inferred range into an amount.
Why it is unknown: No public disclosure accompanied the transfer.
Resolving source: Official announcement or public season record · Only a disclosed or reported figure with a public source is added.
Published count: 29 · former.summary · former-players/aberdeen.json/summary/by_fee_status/undisclosed
Affects: Transfers · Former players
Transfers and fees
Loan end, recall and obligation terms Resolvable Loan duration, recall and purchase-obligation terms are not in the licensed feed unless a public announcement confirms them.
Why it is unknown: The provider transfer row does not carry the terms.
Resolving source: Official club announcement · A confirmed term is curated; an unconfirmed term stays unknown.
Affects: Loans · Transfers
Transfers and fees
Instalments, add-ons and agent terms No public source A disclosed headline fee does not disclose instalments, add-ons, agent payments or solidarity contributions.
Why it is unknown: These terms are not made public.
No public source currently resolves this class. It stays labelled rather than being estimated.
Affects: Transfers · Former players
Contracts and sell-on Contracts and sell-on
Contract length, wages and release clauses No public source The public record does not carry contract length, wages, release clauses or agent fees, so none is inferred or estimated.
Why it is unknown: Not in the licensed feed and not publicly disclosed.
No public source currently resolves this class. It stays labelled rather than being estimated.
Affects: Scouting board · Transfers · Recruitment
Contracts and sell-on
Sell-on receipt not computable Resolvable A clause exists but at least one required input is missing: an evidenced percentage, an allowed basis, a public subsequent fee or the original fee for a profit-basis clause.
Why it is unknown: One or more required public inputs are missing.
Resolving source: Public clause and subsequent-fee evidence · A receipt is computed only when every required input is evidenced.

Affects: Former players · Scouting player profile
Scouting and Europe Scouting and Europe
League without player season statistics Resolvable The league is searchable but the provider returns no player season statistics, so no player from it can be ranked.
Why it is unknown: No provider player-season rows for the league.
Resolving source: Licensed provider player statistics · The league is labelled, never filled with zero-strength players.
Published count: 7 · scouting.coverage · scouting/coverage.json/totals/no_player_stats
Affects: Scouting board · Scouting search
Scouting and Europe
Advanced event data is not in the feed No public source Possession, progressive passes, carries, pressures, aerial wins, crosses, xG/xA and event coordinates are not supplied by the licensed feed.
Why it is unknown: Not in the licensed feed.
No public source currently resolves this class. It stays labelled rather than being estimated.
Affects: Scouting board · fxG analysis · Match page
Scouting and Europe
Value model is not fitted Resolvable The value model waits for enough public-source fee anchors. Until the gate passes, the value index is not a GBP valuation.
Why it is unknown: Public-source anchor register below the model gate.
Resolving source: Public-source fee anchors · More disclosed or reported fees are the only route to a fitted model.
Affects: Scouting board · Methodology
Player profiles Player profiles
Role not observed Resolvable No starting-XI grid or observed role covers the player, so the role stays unknown rather than being inferred from a generic position label.
Why it is unknown: No observed starting-XI role.
Resolving source: Observed starting-XI grid · A role is added only from an observed grid, never guessed.
Published count: 13 · squad.summary · squad/aberdeen.json/summary/roles_unknown
Affects: Squad · Player profile · Scouting board
Player profiles
Player statistics unavailable Resolvable The provider has no current-season statistics for the player. The row is labelled unavailable and is never filled with zeroes.
Why it is unknown: No provider rows for the covered scope.
Resolving source: Licensed provider player statistics · A later provider row resolves the gap.
Published count: 7 · squad.summary · squad/aberdeen.json/summary/stats_unavailable
Affects: Player profile · Squad
Former players Former players
Current or last-known club unknown Resolvable The former player's current or last-known club is not in the covered provider record.
Why it is unknown: No current-season provider row and no curated public record.
Resolving source: Public transfer or club record · A club is added only with a public record.
Published count: 39 · former.summary · former-players/aberdeen.json/summary/current_unknown
Affects: Former players · Scouting player profile
History History
Pre-2024-25 transfer windows are curated partial Resolvable Earlier transfer windows are curated from public records and are not audited to the same depth as the recent four.
Why it is unknown: Historical register coverage is partial.
Resolving source: Public season records · A window is audited only when its rows can be checked against a source.
Affects: Cormack era · Transfers
Matchday Matchday
Possession is not in the feed No public source Possession is not supplied for the covered fixtures, so it is not used in the style read and never shown as zero.

Affects: Matchday · Match page · fxG analysis

Sources and provider gates Sources and provider gates
League migration gate is failing Resolvable The licensed league migration does not yet pass its fixture-count and team-match-stat gate, so football-data remains the active league source.
Why it is unknown: The provider gate failed at the last check.
Resolving source: Passing provider gate · Migration is enabled only when the gate passes.
Affects: Sources and provenance · Data status · Match page
Not available, not estimated
Classes with no public source 8 classes These gaps are not waiting on a better feed. The public record does not contain them, so fitba does not publish a value, a range or a guess.
A gap is not a request to the club and not a target list. The source rules are on Sources ; the definitions are on Glossary and Metrics and audit . Corrections are recorded on Corrections and contact .
