Advanced Search is based on an innovative database that allows you to analyse millions of data in a few seconds and offers a number of filters to qualify players: from the most common ones, such as age, nationality and market value, to the most detailed statistical values, such as our unique EPI-indicators for defence and offence.
With filtering, you can control not only what you want to see, but what you want to exclude. You can filter based on your preferences and create specific filters to focus on exactly the players your are looking for.
Filter Criteria

Scatter Plot
You can visualize the value distribution for each criterion. This will help you to assess filters and carefully select your candidate's skills. Set up values and the filtered players are displayed in scatterplot and live table.
The scatter plot displays the value of four variables at a time. The visualisation axes can be assigned any of the performance categories also available as filter on the right hand side. If you hover the mouse over the data points you'll get a first impression of a player's statistics.
Live Table
The live table directly beneath the scatter plot shows players available after applying the specified filter. The column heads can be clicked to sort the table as desired.
You can find further filter options for the players, such as "Name", "Age", "Team', "League", "Position", "Defence", "Offence", "Mins" and "Rating".
You can download the current player list on your device as a csv file by pressing on the small arrow in the top right corner of the live table.
