What Is A Football Player Rating Calculator?
A football player rating calculator turns your individual skills into one overall number, usually called the overall rating or OVR. Football fans know this idea from video games and player cards, where a single number from 1 to 99 sums up how good a player is in their position.
The GlobeHour Football Player Rating Calculator lets you build that card for yourself. You rate six attributes, choose your position, and the calculator weights each attribute by how important it is for that role. A striker’s rating leans heavily on shooting, while a center back’s rating is driven mostly by defending and physical strength.
Your result includes a player card you can download, a rating tier, a skill hexagon, your rating in every outfield position, your strongest and weakest attributes, and the exact attributes that would raise your overall the fastest. It is useful for players tracking their progress, friends comparing ratings, parents encouraging young players and coaches starting a conversation about development.
The Six Football Attributes Explained
What each attribute covers and how to rate it.
Pace
Acceleration over the first few metres and top sprint speed. Ask yourself whether you win races to loose balls and get away from defenders.
Shooting
Finishing, shot power, long shots, volleys and penalties. Rate how often you hit the target and score from the chances you get.
Passing
Short passing, long passing, crossing and vision. Think about accuracy under pressure and whether your passes create chances.
Dribbling
Ball control, first touch, agility, balance and beating players 1v1. Rate how well you keep the ball in tight spaces.
Defending
Tackling, marking, interceptions, heading in defense and defensive positioning. Rate how often you win the ball back cleanly.
Physical
Strength, stamina, jumping and aggression. Rate whether you win duels and keep going hard until the final whistle.
Goalkeeper Attributes
When you choose goalkeeper, the calculator switches to six goalkeeping attributes: Diving (reaching shots at full stretch), Handling (catching cleanly without spilling), Kicking (goal kicks and distribution), Reflexes (reacting to close-range shots), Speed (rushing out and sweeping) and Positioning (standing in the right place for every shot and cross).
What Your Attribute Numbers Mean
Use this scale to rate yourself consistently against players at your own level.
| Number | Label | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 1–39 | Beginner | You are just learning this part of the game. |
| 40–54 | Developing | You can do it, but it often lets you down in matches. |
| 55–64 | Decent | Reliable and similar to most players at your level. |
| 65–74 | Good | A clear strength that teammates can rely on. |
| 75–84 | Very Good | One of the best in your team at this. |
| 85–92 | Excellent | Stands out in your whole league or age group. |
| 93–99 | World Class | Reserved for the very best. Use it rarely. |
Overall Rating Tiers And Card Colors
Your card color and tier come from your overall rating.
| Overall | Tier | Card |
|---|---|---|
| 90–99 | World Class | Special (dark and gold) |
| 85–89 | Elite | Special (dark and gold) |
| 80–84 | Top Level | Gold |
| 75–79 | Very Good | Gold |
| 70–74 | Good | Silver |
| 65–69 | Solid | Silver |
| 55–64 | Developing | Bronze |
| 1–54 | Beginner | Bronze |
How Your Overall Rating Is Calculated
A simple weighted average, with weights that change by position.
The Formula
Each position gives the six attributes a weight, and the weights for every position add up to 100%. Your overall rating is each attribute multiplied by its weight, added together and rounded to the nearest whole number:
Worked Example: A Striker
A striker with Pace 80, Shooting 78, Passing 65, Dribbling 74, Defending 35 and Physical 70 scores: (80 × 18%) + (78 × 40%) + (65 × 7%) + (74 × 18%) + (35 × 2%) + (70 × 15%) = 14.4 + 31.2 + 4.55 + 13.32 + 0.7 + 10.5 = 74.67, rounded to 75 OVR. That is a Very Good, gold-card striker.
The same player would rate lower as a center back, because defending makes up almost half of a center back’s rating. That is why the result shows your overall rating in every outfield position.
Goalkeeper Weights
Goalkeepers use their own formula: Reflexes 26%, Diving 24%, Handling 22%, Positioning 16%, Kicking 8% and Speed 4%.
Fastest Ways To Improve
Because some attributes carry more weight, raising them by 5 points lifts your overall far more than raising a low-weight attribute. The calculator works this out for you and shows the two attributes that would raise your rating the most.
How To Improve Each Attribute
| Attribute | Training Ideas |
|---|---|
| Pace | Short 10 to 30 metre sprints with full rest, acceleration starts and plyometric jumps. |
| Shooting | Finishing with both feet, one-touch shots from crosses and placement over power drills. |
| Passing | Wall passes with both feet, rondos and long switches of play to a target. |
| Dribbling | Cone slaloms with both feet, 1v1 games and close control in tight grids. |
| Defending | 1v1 defending with a side-on stance, interception games and heading practice. |
| Physical | Bodyweight strength work, interval running for stamina and jump training. |
| Goalkeeping | Reaction saves, catching drills, footwork through cones and kicking to targets. |
Young players should focus on technique and enjoyment first, and follow a coach’s advice before starting any strength programme.

Football Player Rating Calculator FAQ
How Do I Calculate My Football Rating?
Choose your position, rate pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending and physical from 1 to 99, and the calculator weights them for your position to give your overall rating.
Is The Football Player Rating Calculator Free?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up and works on phones, tablets and computers.
What Is A Good Overall Rating?
In this calculator, 65 to 74 is a good silver-card player, 75 to 84 is a very good to top-level gold-card player, and 85 or more is elite. Most players at amateur level will land between 50 and 75.
Why Does My Rating Change With Position?
Each position weights the attributes differently. Shooting matters most for a striker, while defending and physical matter most for a center back, so the same skills give different overall ratings.
Is This The Same As A Video Game Rating?
No. It uses the familiar six-attribute layout, but the weights are GlobeHour’s own and it is not connected to EA SPORTS FC or any other game.
How Are Goalkeepers Rated?
Goalkeepers are rated on diving, handling, kicking, reflexes, speed and positioning, with reflexes, diving and handling carrying the most weight.
Do Weak Foot And Skill Moves Change My Overall?
No. They appear on your player card to describe your style, but your overall rating comes only from the six attributes.
How Can I Raise My Rating Fastest?
Train the attributes with the highest weight for your position. The result page shows the two attributes that would add the most to your overall if you improved them by 5 points.
Can I Download My Player Card?
Yes. Press Download Card on the result page to save your card as an image you can share.
Is My Information Saved?
Your name and ratings are saved only in your own browser so you can return and update them. Nothing is sent to GlobeHour.
