How points work
The same rules apply to every player. These are Ballon d’Or Race’s own scoring weights.
Rating points = max(0, match rating − 6)1.5
Match points = rating points × opponent strength × league weight × match importance
Ratings below 6 give zero rating points. Goals, assists and other match statistics are shown for context and add no separate bonus. Match points are added across the season.
League multipliers
Domestic league matches use a match-importance factor of ×1.00.
| League | Weight |
|---|---|
| Premier League | ×1.00 |
| La Liga | ×0.98 |
| Bundesliga | ×0.96 |
| Serie A | ×0.94 |
| Ligue 1 | ×0.92 |
Champions League stages
The Champions League uses ×1.00 for league weight and the stage multiplier below for match importance.
| Stage | Weight |
|---|---|
| League phase | ×1.05 |
| Knockout play-offs | ×1.10 |
| Round of 16 | ×1.10 |
| Quarter-finals | ×1.90 |
| Semi-finals | ×3.25 |
| Final | ×5.40 |
How opponent strength uses Elo
We use the latest saved ClubElo rating before the match. Elo 1700 is neutral (×1.00); stronger opponents increase points and weaker opponents reduce them.
Opponent factor = 1 + (Elo − 1700) × 60 ÷ 40,000, limited to ×0.25–×1.75. Missing Elo, or an observation more than 120 days old, uses ×1.00.
Domestic cup preview
Available completed matches are included; data backfill is in progress. Cup points = max(0, rating − 6)1.5 × cup importance. Opponent and league multipliers are neutral; no extra stat or trophy bonuses apply.
Copa del Rey, DFB-Pokal and Coppa Italia: ×0.55. EFL Cup: ×0.40. Community Shield, German Super Cup and French Super Cup: ×0.30. Coverage is partial and cup ratings come from Highlightly.
