Gravity Cards

Personalized player Gravity Cards are now live.

The Gravity Card provides players with a quick overview of their performance based on match data. It contains category scores together with one overall Gravity Index score.

The cards combine different aspects of soccer performance into one overall rating, helping players better understand their strengths and overall impact throughout the season. Every player gets a season card and one for each individual match. All cards are shown together in a card gallery. From the gallery you can open the new My Cards page for the full detail behind the scores.

Accessing the Gravity Card

Gravity Cards appear on the player dashboard for players with an active SciSports player account and available Gravity data. Internal club staff always have access to their own players.

Understanding the Gravity Card

The Gravity Card contains player information together with six football performance categories.

Season cards and match cards

There are two card types. They use the same design and the same six categories, but they cover a different period.

Card type

What it shows

Season card

The player performance over a full season, based on all matches in that season with 30 minutes or more playing time.

Match card

The player performance in one single match, labelled with the match and the date.

More about match cards is explained in the article Match Cards [Link].

The card gallery on the player tile

Within the selected season the cards are shown as a gallery. The season card comes first, followed by the most recent match cards, up to five on the tile. You can scroll through the cards within the season, and the season selector stays available to move to another season.

For the complete list of cards in a season, open the My Cards page from the tile.

Which matches get a match card

A match card is created for matches in which the player played 30 minutes or more. Below 30 minutes the playing time is too short for a reliable comparison, so no match card is generated and the match does not count toward the season card either.

The card picture

A player can replace the picture on their own card. The picture is stored on the season card and is used on all cards of that player, so a change made on a match card also applies to the season card and the other way around.

Editing the picture and downloading a card is only possible from the player account itself. Club staff and coaches can view the cards of their own players, but cannot edit or download them.

How category scores are calculated

Category scores are based on different events and contributions during a match.

Scores are influenced by factors such as:

  • Difficulty of situations

  • Frequency of involvement

  • Success rate of events

  • Pitch location

  • Pressure from opponents

  • Playing time

  • Position-specific comparisons

More difficult situations can positively influence scores, even when they are not always successful. This helps reward players who regularly attempt impactful plays during a match.

Only matches in which a player plays 30 minutes or more count toward the season Gravity Card score.

Overall Gravity Index

The overall Gravity Index combines a player’s performance across different phases of the match into one final score.

Players are compared only with others in the same position group, ensuring that performances are evaluated against players with a similar role on the pitch. A higher Gravity Index indicates a stronger overall performance.
