Welcome to US Soccer Everywhere​!



On this website we will be tracking the production points of all US ELIGIBLE soccer players across the globe in MLS, LigaMX, Europe, etc, by allocating "production points" over the course of two years. Not ALL foreign leagues are included (for example, the Israeli First Division, or Finland) as it is unlikely that Americans playing in these leagues will be called on by the USMNT. So, you won't be seeing Aaron Schoenfeld on the Yanks Abroad list, even though he plays for Maccabi Tel Aviv. While we say "Everywhere"--that isn't technically the case. That would be very difficult to do, in some cases. Still, you will note our Yanks Abroad list contains over 200 players playing in foreign leagues we would consider "national team relevant." This is more players being tracked than any other site you will find. Some players we included do play in some leagues we would consider to be non-relevant, but we have included them because they are past US Internationals (Mix Diskerud in Korea, for example). You''ll notice some players that play in lower leagues or youth teams that are very young are also included in the ratings as they are prospects who may be considered for national team duty down the road. For instance, young Americans playing in youth teams in England or II clubs in Germany.

Current season/year accounts for 65% of a players production points, with 25% being allocated for the past season production and 5% for the season before. Every March, numbers are reset on an average score (this is complicated, so I won't explain it here).

​

Points are allocated for several categories and broken down by:

> Minutes played

> Goals Scored

> Assists Made

> Defensive Steals

> Defensive Clears

> Offensive Opportunities Created

> Shots Saved

> Exceptional Moments

> Quality of League (more points if better league)

> Quality of Opponent (more points if better opponent)

> Winning vs Losing

All club games, including national team play, count in the points system. U15, U17 and U19 NT play will not count towards players unless the players are registered as a professional (in Europe on multiple levels; in the US, must be MLS). Young players that are registered with a professional team will have their national team play and production count. More points are awarded for play at higher levels.

You will note, at times, talented players may move down the list because they are injured. Players aren't punished in this system for being injured, but their "production point count" will stand still, thus they may be passed by other players who are active and producing results (in 2016, Geoff Cameron lost a lot of games because of injury, despite playing in a top league, for example. In 2017, John Brooks was injured nearly the entire season for Wolfsburg).

​

We hope you enjoy tracking every American players success right here.
