For clubs and academies
Age you can trust
Name and date of birth are checked against a national identity register before a player is assessed. The band on the card is the age on record.
Free to search
Players fund their own assessment. Clubs and academies search the register at no cost and contact players through MiniStats.
We fly the player in
Invite a player you found here to a trial abroad and MiniStats pays the return flight and accommodation. You cover the visa invitation.
The verified card
Athletic is what the pod measured. Technical is what the assessor saw. Never blended, because one rating hides the thing you want to know: engine or brain.
Each score is a percentile within the player's own age band and gender. Below the card: every pod reading, every rating with its evidence, body measures, and the trend across assessments.
Demonstration card. Tunde Adebayo is a fictional player and the numbers are illustrative.
How a card is made
STEP 1
Identity
Date of birth verified against the national ID register. No match, no session.
STEP 2
A full match
Grouped by age band and gender. Each player in a position he claims, equal minutes for all.
STEP 3
FIFA-approved pod, qualified assessors
A FIFA-approved GPS pod records every movement. Match footage goes to MiniStats assessors under contract in Europe, North America and South America, who return timestamped ratings within seven days.
STEP 4
Again next quarter
Every ninety days. Every reading kept, so you see direction, not a snapshot.
Why this exists
The age cannot be trusted.
So MiniStats checks it at source, before the player ever wears a pod.
The description cannot be trusted.
"Fast, strong, two-footed" is an opinion. MiniStats gives you the measurements. You form the opinion.
