They are two different numbers. Elo is a skill rating that updates match by match and carries across seasons, so it starts a new season where the last one finished. The z-score compares a player's points per game to their position average on a 1000-2000 scale, so it only describes the season in progress. A player can read 1571 on one and 1886 on the other, which is why every table on the site names which one it is showing.

Both numbers are built from Premier League matches, so a player who has not played one has nothing behind either of them. A Z-Score needs a completed match behind it, and these players have none yet. They are served like everybody else and counted in the league, but the data sends no rank and no Z-Score for them, so the board has nothing to place them with. Rather than start anyone at the 1500 baseline, which would read as a measurement, we list them under the board with no rank and no rating until the data carries one. They are still counted in the league and still have a page of their own.

Movement is measured against where the Elo stood when 2025-26 closed in May, which is the figure carried into 2026/27. A rating that has moved shows how far and which way. A rating that has not moved says so in words, because a green or red zero would suggest something happened when nothing has.

The bars beside an Elo say how much football is behind it. One bar is a rating built on a handful of matches, which can move a long way once games are played, and three bars is close to a full season of evidence behind the number. Two players can hold almost the same rating on very different amounts of evidence, and the bars are how you tell them apart without opening both profiles. They say how much football is behind a rating, not whether there is one: a player the data carries no rating for sits under the board however many matches they have played.

The 2026 World Cup final was played 33 days before the first Premier League deadline, so a player who went deep into it arrived on a short summer. Minutes come from FIFA's own match data. Above 450 tournament minutes the rating is held less firmly for the season ahead, and between 1 and 449 it is held a little less firmly. Held less firmly means it is allowed to move faster once games are played, because there is more reason to doubt where it stands. The rating itself is untouched. Tournament matches are not Premier League matches, so none of this is added to or taken off the Elo number.

The z-score (1000-2000 scale) compares each player's points-per-game to their position average. 1500 = average, 1600+ = above average, 1800+ = elite. This lets you compare players fairly within their position.

DUE means a player is underperforming their expected goals (xG). They're creating chances but not converting. Statistically, they should score more soon. Good transfer targets.

OVER means a player is outperforming their xG. They've been clinical or lucky and may regress. Caution advised for transfers.

Form arrows (▲▲▲ to ▼▼▼) compare recent PPG (last 3 gameweeks) to the medium-term average (last 10 gameweeks). Three up = hot streak, three down = cold spell.
