2023 NWSL Season

Composite Ratings

Our overall player rating: a form-weighted composite built from five components — xG, ball carries, passes into the box, defensive value, and goalkeeping. Values are season averages across every selection-model run; each component is shown before the overall score. Distinct from the NWSL's official year-end Best XI award.
