Index -
The Actim Index is the official player ratings system of
the Barclays Premiership, Coca-Cola Championship and
Scottish Premier League. It is
compiled and distributed by PA
Sport, a subsidiary of the Press
Association.
The Actim Index ranks players on a weekly basis according to
their performances on the pitch, both by position and in an overall
chart, throughout the season. The Actim Index rankings are based on
a player's aggregate score for all matches played.
Calculated using a mathematical formula developed by PA Sport
alongside statisticians from Salford University, each player’s
contribution to matches is examined including goals, shots, passes,
dribbles, tackles, crosses, saves, clearances, blocks,
interceptions, time on the pitch and number of points gained by
their team.
Two additional calculations have been added for the 2006 – 2007
season, which take into account player assists and goalkeepers’ clean sheets. This has
increased the amount of variables by which a player is now
measured.
The data is collected by a representative from the Professional Footballers
Association (PFA), usually an ex-player, at every
Premiership and Championship league match. Video footage is then
used to verify the information before the Index is generated and
published.
The list of the Top 100 players and Top 5 players by position is
updated during the football season every Tuesday for the Barclays
Premiership and every Thursday for the Coca-Cola Championship, and
is available free of charge from the official Actim website:
