Formula

How the signal score is calculated

Eligible: players aged 21 or under who have played at least 270 minutes in a major league (tier 25 or higher) this season. Scored out of 100 as a weighted sum of the five factors below.

Factor	Calculation	Weight
Playing time	Minutes ÷ (team matches × 90), max 1	30
Goal involvements per 90	(Goals + assists) × 90 ÷ minutes, divided by a positional baseline (forward 0.8 · midfielder 0.5 · defender 0.25); goalkeepers fixed at 0.5	25
Rating	(Average rating − 6.2) ÷ 1.3, 0–1 (0.4 if no rating)	20
League tier	1 − (tier − 1) ÷ 30, 0.2–1	15
Market value growth	Latest valuation ÷ valuation about a year ago − 1, 0–1 (full marks at +100% or more; 0 if no history)	10
