Past week
League, cup, European and national-team matches combined, every player on one scale.
Footybot finds the players about to break out, before everyone else does.
Every player gets one score a week, from 0 to 100, across league, cup, European and national-team matches. 50 is an average top-five-league player in the same position, and each 10 points is a clear step up or down. The breakout watchlist then reads that performance against how much people read about the player and what the market pays.
