About FIFA Power Rankings FIFA launched at the World Cup 2026 a new individual ranking system based on data from matches. Each outfield player is given a score from 0–10 in three categories: Attacking, Creativity and Defending. Goalkeepers are evaluated in two categories: in possession and defending the goal.
