Tournament Scoring - Basics

Design Philosophy

The Fansports.fun scoring system is built to reflect how fans naturally judge player performances.

When watching a match, supporters instinctively know which actions deserve applause and which mistakes cause frustration. Our system is designed to capture that same intuition.

Players are scored based on the expectations of their position (GK, DEF, MID, FWD), not just raw statistics. A good performance looks different for each role on the pitch.

We will continue refining the system, but our core goal remains the same: scores should feel natural, intuitive, and aligned with how most fans perceive the game. Performance is subjective, and opinions will vary - but we aim to stay as close as possible to the consensus view.

Position Examples

Goalkeepers Rewarded for clean sheets, saves, commanding their area, and good distribution. Mistakes significantly reduce scores, even in a clean sheet win.

Defenders Clean sheets matter, but defenders who tackle, intercept, and contribute in build-up play score higher than those with a quiet game.

Midfielders Expected to influence the match overall. Goals and assists boost scores, but all-round involvement is key.

Forwards Goals are important, but efficiency matters. Clinical finishers and forwards who contribute to overall play score higher than those who miss big chances.
