The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season. ### Share this match [See the match in La Lente Line-ups on the pitch, what each player produced and cost, and the match line by line.](https://app.sirbalone.com/#partidos/19429260)
