With the conclusion of the season, it is possible to conduct a player analysis that measures which players had the most positive impact on their team as well as the players with the best individual performances during the season. The ratings model that we made allows us to find that out. The players with the highest average ratings during the season are the players that fulfil the premises presented previously. For this analysis, the selected players are required to have a minimum of 900 minutes over the season, not taking into account the type of defence used nor the position played.
Player of the Tournament: Champions League 22-23.
Through the average ratings obtained, we understand that Rodri, Man. City’s defensive midfielder, was the player with the highest average rating of this years Champions League (following the minutes played condition – minimum 900 minutes played in this tournament). In our player standings, we can see that Rodri is followed by his teammate Rúben Dias, Álex Grimaldo (Benfica), Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) and Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid). Only Á. Grimaldo represented a team that failed to qualify for the Champions League Semi-finals.
