Which Villarreal player won the most duels?

Georges Mikautadze, with 9 duels won. Next: Pape Gueye 7, Pau Navarro 6.

Georges Mikautadze showed determination up front by winning 9 duels, ahead of Pape Gueye (7). That individual fight could not alter a tough lopsided defeat.

Which FC Barcelona player made the most tackles?

Fermín López, with 5 tackles. Next: Jules Koundé 2, Eric García 2.

In a commanding win for FC Barcelona, Fermín López led the defensive effort with 5 tackles. That clearly surpassed Jules Koundé and Eric García, who recorded 2 each.

How is the rating calculated?

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.
