Understanding FIFA Position Ratings

FIFA position ratings are calculated based on a player's overall rating, age, and work rates. Each position has different weightings for these factors:

Goalkeepers: Focus on overall rating and age, with minimal work rate impact.
Defenders: Emphasize defensive work rate and overall rating, with age having moderate impact.
Midfielders: Balance between defensive and offensive work rates, with overall rating and age playing significant roles.
Forwards: Prioritize offensive work rate and overall rating, with age having moderate impact.

Note: Position ratings are not the same as overall ratings. They provide a more nuanced view of a player's performance in their specific role.

The Rating Formula Explained

The FIFA position rating is calculated using the following formula:

Position Rating = (Overall Rating × 0.6) + (Work Rate × 0.3) + (Age Factor × 0.1)

Where Age Factor = 100 - (Age - 20)² / 2

This formula accounts for:

The player's overall skill level (60% weight)
Their work rate in their specific role (30% weight)
Their age, which peaks at 20 years old (10% weight)

For example, a 25-year-old forward with an overall rating of 85 and an offensive work rate of 90 would have:

Age Factor = 100 - (25 - 20)² / 2 = 100 - 2.5 = 97.5

Position Rating = (85 × 0.6) + (90 × 0.3) + (97.5 × 0.1) = 51 + 27 + 9.75 = 87.75
