EAFC 26 ROSTER OVERHAUL MOD
The mod covers more than 5,000 players and provides updated overall ratings and attributes based on open statistical data (Transfermarkt, FBref, Opta).

✨ Key Changes
Ratings are calculated using objective data, statistics, and analytics.
Data Sources
• Transfermarkt — basic player data (name, age, club, position, market value).
• FBref — advanced stats (npG, assists, xA, psxG, etc.).
• Capology — club wage bills to assess financial level of teams.
• Opta — league strength across seasons to normalize statistics.
Subjective elements such as popularity, nationality, or past achievements are excluded.
The system is based on a unique scale where a rating of 99 is assigned to a player who has delivered a historically outstanding season (e.g., Messi 2011/12, peak seasons of Maradona, Pelé, Ronaldo). Unlike the standard EAFC/FIFA system (92–94 even in peak years), the new scale highlights the difference between a “once-in-a-generation genius” and a top-level player.
Additionally, specific attribute groups have been reworked to better reflect modern football:
• Passing attributes for goalkeepers. Today, keepers actively participate in build-up play and use their feet at the level of outfield players. The mod fully updates goalkeeper passing to reflect their real contribution.
• Defensive attributes for attacking players. In modern football, defense starts with the forwards. Attacking players now have more realistic defensive stats, reflecting their role in pressing and team defense (example: Roberto Firmino in Klopp’s system).
The mod not only updates ratings but also changes the very approach to player evaluation, making it closer to modern football realities.
