Understanding Player Performance Scores (PS)

Performance Scores (PS)

PS is the core metric in WLM. It represents a player's match-day contribution based on real-world data.

What PS Includes

• Real-world match ratings from actual football matches
• Recent form weighting - more recent performances count more
• Position-specific adjustments - different positions value different stats
• Match fitness - players who play regularly score higher

How PS Affects Matches

• Your squad's total PS across zones determines your zone strengths
• Higher PS in a zone means you're more likely to dominate that zone
• Zone dominance drives xG, which drives goal probability

PS vs Valuation

PS and valuation are related but different:

• PS is current match-day effectiveness
• Valuation includes age, potential, and market factors
• A veteran with high PS might have low valuation due to age
• A young player with moderate PS might have high valuation due to potential

Improving Your Squad's PS

• Sign players who are performing well in real life
• Release or sell players with consistently low PS
• Use training to boost attributes
• Ensure players are in their natural positions (100% PS vs 75% out of position)
