1. What is SoFIFA Rating?

The SoFIFA Overall Rating (OVR) is a weighted combination of a player's attributes that varies based on their position. It provides a quick assessment of a player's overall quality in the game.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses position-specific weights to calculate the overall rating:

Where weights vary by position:

• Goalkeepers: Defending (45%), Physical (25%), Pace (10%), Passing (10%), Dribbling (5%), Shooting (5%)
• Defenders: Defending (40%), Physical (30%), Pace (15%), Passing (10%), Dribbling (5%), Shooting (5%)
• Midfielders: Passing (30%), Dribbling (25%), Pace (15%), Defending (15%), Physical (10%), Shooting (5%)
• Attackers: Shooting (35%), Dribbling (25%), Pace (20%), Passing (10%), Physical (5%), Defending (5%)

3. Importance of Position in Rating

Details: The same attributes contribute differently to a player's overall rating depending on their position. For example, defending is more important for defenders than for attackers.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select the player's position and enter their attribute ratings (0-99). All values must be between 0 and 99.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why does position affect the overall rating?
A: Different positions require different skills. EA Sports weights attributes differently to reflect what's most important for each position.

Q2: Are these the exact weights used by EA Sports?
A: EA doesn't publish exact weights, but these are community-estimated weights that approximate the in-game calculations.

Q3: What's considered a good OVR?
A: Ratings vary by league, but generally: 85+ is world class, 75-84 is good, 65-74 is average, below 65 is poor.

Q4: Why is my calculated OVR different from the game?
A: EA may use slightly different weights or additional factors. This calculator provides an estimate.

Q5: Do international reputation and weak foot affect OVR?
A: These affect the player's displayed rating in-game but aren't part of the base OVR calculation.
