Players & Ratings

Every player has:

• An Overall rating (OVR) — the headline number, 1–99.
• A primary position (and sometimes a secondary).
• A style — how they play (see Player Styles).
• Rarity — Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary.
• A set of attributes relevant to their role.

Positions

Nifty uses 14 positions:

• Goalkeeper: GK
• Defence: CB, LB, RB, LWB, RWB
• Midfield: CDM, CM, CAM
• Attack: LW, RW, LWF, RWF, CF

Players are happiest in their primary position. Playing them out of position is possible but usually costs you.

Overall rating

Overall is a single number summarising how good a player is for their role. A 78-rated striker and a 78-rated centre-back are both strong — but at different jobs.

Rarity

Rarer players tend to have higher ceilings and rarer style combinations. Rarity is a signal, not a guarantee — some Commons are excellent in the right role.

Attributes

Attributes are scored out of 99 and split by what matters for the position:

• Goalkeepers are judged on handling, reflexes, distribution.
• Defenders on tackling, marking, positioning.
• Midfielders on passing, vision, work rate.
• Forwards on finishing, pace, off-the-ball movement.

Chemistry & synergy

Some styles combine well when played near each other on the pitch (for example, a Ball-Playing centre-back behind a Regista in midfield). See Player Styles for the full list.
