NEXT XI SCORE EXPLAINABILITY
Why is the Breakout Score 69.1?

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.
