How severely do red cards impact player form?

A red card deducts 1.5 full points from the Form Index to reflect the catastrophic tactical and momentum damage inflicted on the team.

Does playing full 90-minute games increase the score?

Yes. A durability bonus of up to +0.50 points rewards players who maintain fitness and play the maximum 450 minutes across the 5-match sample.

Player Form Index

Track 5-match rolling momentum, discipline impact, and playing time bonus

Metric Overview & Analytical Purpose

The Player Form Index quantifies rolling 5-match momentum on a standard 1.0 to 10.0 scale. By combining recent attacking returns, match ratings, disciplinary cards, and minutes-played durability bonuses, this tool identifies in-form players and deteriorating slumps.

Why This Metric Matters in Modern Football

Seasonal statistics hide short-term hot streaks and slumps. Fantasy managers and scouts need a dynamic 5-game rolling index to evaluate which players are currently operating at peak confidence.

How to Interpret Your Results

A Form Index of 8.5–10.0 indicates On Fire / Peak Form; 7.0–8.4 is Strong Form; 5.5–6.9 represents Steady Output; sub-5.5 indicates a Slump or Disciplinary drag.

Mathematical Formulation & Scoring Model

Mathematical Formulation & Scoring Model:

Base Score = (Goals × 1.5) + (Assists × 1.2) + (Avg Rating × 0.80); Discipline Deduction = (Yellow Cards × 0.25) + (Red Cards × 1.50); Minutes Bonus = (Minutes / 450) × 0.50; Final Form Index = Clamp(Base - Deductions + Minutes Bonus, 1.0, 10.0).

Practical Football Context & Tactical Application

Elite form (Index > 8.0) typically coincides with confident finishing, elevated key pass volumes, and uninterrupted starting minutes across congested fixture calendars.
