NEXT XI SCORE EXPLAINABILITY
Why is the Breakout Score 67.9?
Breakout Score answers “who is emerging?” by combining performance, age-at-level and playing opportunity. It is calculated only for eligible players aged 23 or under.
67.9
Emerging
30%Age Advantage
82.9
Rewards players performing younger than the competition level normally expects.
18%Opportunity
44.7
Rewards actual playing opportunity. The signal rises progressively and reaches 100 at 900+ minutes.
Exact formula
(Next XI Rating × 0.52) + (Age Advantage × 0.30) + (Opportunity × 0.18)
This player
35.0 + 24.9 + 8.0 = 67.9
<60 Developing
60–69.9 Emerging
70–79.9 Strong Breakout
80+ Elite Prospect
Data safeguard: the underlying Next XI Rating requires at least 90 minutes, a provider performance rating and a data-quality score of at least 55/100. The Breakout Score does not replace scouting judgement; it is an additional emerging-talent signal.
