CIES: Methodology behind the ranking calculation
The index is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 and takes into account the percentage of successful dribbles compared to those attempted. The CIES considers a successful dribble only when the team of the player who attempted it manages to maintain possession of the ball by approaching the goal or when the targeted player commits a foul. The data presented in the report refers only to league matches in the 2024/25 season and only players who have played at least 360 minutes so far have been taken into account.
