Squawka Comparison Matrix

The Squawka Comparison Matrix is a tool that allows you to create statistical comparisons of players and teams competing in the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1, as well as another 61 divisions. In total there are 3,242 teams and 81,965 players.

1. Pick your players: Search our Opta-powered database for the players or teams you want to compare by clicking the blank player cards above. You can select up to three. The tool will only display statistics recorded with players’ current clubs, meaning those who made transfers in the current window are without data from previous seasons for now. We’re working to resolve this issue soon, though.

2. ‘Total’ or ‘Per90’? Toggle between the two options immediately above the player cards. The latter provides a per-90-minute average based on the amount of game time recorded by your selected player(s). Please note, in order to see ‘Per90’ values, you must have the ‘Minutes Played’ box ticked among your stats selection.

3. Edit stats: Click the ‘Edit Stats’ button to browse nine categories, from ‘Attack’ to ‘Defensive Actions’.

4. Settle the Messi vs Ronaldo debate once and for all*: Select your stats, sit back and start drafting an ‘I told you so’ message on the theory you just proved.

*Disclaimer: You definitely won’t be able to settle the Messi vs Ronaldo debate once and for all.
