Metric definitions

The preset metrics behind Tifolab's profiles and compare views

A concise reference for the role-bucket metrics used in percentile summaries, compare tables, and player profiles.

Universal context

Metrics that frame almost every decision

Minutes played

Used as a quality gate throughout the product. Most default views apply a minimum-minute threshold before surfacing percentiles or similarity.

Age

Available in search and discovery flows to help narrow cohort comparisons, especially when profiling long-term targets.

Goals / Assists / xG / xA

The core attacking output layer. These metrics appear in search, profiles, compare views, and often anchor the narrative around a player.

Progression and defensive actions

Progressive passes, progressive carries, tackles, and interceptions shape both role presets and the shortlist/compare workflow.

Role presets

Grouped by the lens the product applies

Each role bundle uses six core metrics. The preset is opinionated on purpose so compare views stay fast to interpret.

Forward

Forward

Finishing and penalty-box threat stay central, so the mix leans toward scoring, shot quality, and presence near goal.

Winger / Attacking Mid

This preset emphasizes creation and ball progression. It suits wide creators and attacking midfielders more than touchline-only wingers or pure second strikers.

Midfielder

The midfielder bundle balances progression, retention, and defensive intervention so the radar captures two-way influence rather than one specialist trait.

Defenders are measured on duel work, anticipation, and build-up contribution. The goal is to distinguish clean circulating defenders from purely reactive ones.
