Ranks and coverage Team rank compares the whole squad. PL rank compares players in the same recorded position group: GK, DEF, MID or FWD. Both require at least 40% of the club’s available league minutes with readings for the chosen statistic. Equal displayed values share a rank.
Ranks describe the selected statistic, not overall player quality. A green ring marks the highest displayed team value, including ties. Bubble area follows absolute values, with a minimum size for legibility; dark bubbles indicate negative values.
Forest’s physical readings against Leeds on 22 August are supplemented from FotMob , including substitutes. Missing sprint figures remain unavailable.
How this XI is selected We choose the most-used confirmed starting formation, then the unique XI with the most combined starts in its exact recorded slots. A player is only eligible for positions they actually started in.
Formation ties use the most recent occurrence. If two selections have equal starts, a fixed tie-break keeps the XI consistent. This is a representative season XI, not a predicted team or necessarily eleven who all started together.
Values use the same season statistics as the player tables, including appearances in other formations and as a substitute. Coverage stays visible. Missing values remain unavailable.
Left and right follow the recorded formation, with the team attacking upwards. The goalkeeper is at the bottom.
“Also played” includes everyone else with a season appearance, including substitutes and players who started other matches.
