Player pool

FMDB calculation
1748Players
59Average ability
—Wonderkids
20.1%Playing abroad
51.5%In the top division

The 1,748 of this nation's 2,042 recorded people who carry a player row. This pool uses primary recorded nationality, not international eligibility. Modern exports also include additional nationalities and declared allegiance, which this calculation does not use. Playing abroad is measured against the 1,521 players whose club resolves; the top-division share against the 1,409 whose division records a level, where level 0 is the first tier. A wonderkid count needs an age, and an age needs the in-game date no database records.

Top players

FMDB calculation

Highest recorded player.current_ability among the people whose person.nation_uid points here. Age needs an in-game reference date the export does not carry, so that column stays blank rather than being computed against today.

  • person_nation_contract, club_team, club_squad_number National-team manager, captain and squad count Now liveThe nation page shows the manager, captain and registered squad count; linked team pages show recorded members. Missing identities stay missing.
  • comp_history, nation_cup_history National-team honours and tournament runs Partial exportConfirmed competition wins for recorded national teams are counted. Tournament stage/result rows are now exported separately but are not rendered here; winning a stage tie does not mean winning the competition.
  • nation_fifa_ranking, nation_coefficient FIFA points and association coefficients Exported; UI pendingThe schema records points and coefficient slots with documented context. It stores neither a world-rank position nor a ranking date.
  • nation_foreign_rule, nation_agreement, nation_tax_rule Foreign-player definitions, agreements and tax rules Exported; UI pendingModern exports contain these rows. Competition quotas, work permits and dated transfer windows are separate gaps.
  • work permits, registration quotas and transfer windows Complete employment and registration rules Needs source dataThe existing nation definitions do not establish all conditions, exemptions, quotas or windows.
  • person.nation_uid and player Player pool, ability, players abroad and leading players Now liveThe pool uses primary recorded nationality, not international eligibility. Youth counts still need a reference date; a full position breakdown is not implemented.
  • club_team for the nation Other national teams Now liveRecorded teams are linked without guessing their age group or substituting a youth team for the senior side.
  • competition.nation_uid and LeaguePyramid League pyramid and competitions Now liveThe pyramid reads up to 1,000 competitions independently of pagination and reports truncation. It does not infer promotion or relegation links.
  • person, player, club, city, stadium Recorded population and place counts Now liveCounts use the nation relationship; stadiums resolve through city. A staff-subtype count is not a count of all working coaches or managers.
  • nation_standing across versions, export_value_scale Reputation across versions Now liveCharts show raw recorded reputation. Era-aware normalization still needs scale-metadata integration.
  • nation.hashtag, city.local_region_uid Hashtag and city regions; national languages Partial exportHashtag and city-region information are displayed. The catalog has no direct nation-language relation, and source_region_index is not a region uid.
  • nation_rival Rivalries between nations Exported; UI pendingModern exports include rival nation, level and flags. No effective date is stored; the nation page has not integrated these rows.

Reviewed 30 September 2026 against the current schema and page implementation. “Now live” means implemented where data is recorded; “Exported; UI pending” means the schema has data this page does not yet use. Tables and coverage vary by version. Missing values stay blank.
