ARI – Sharpshooters, Pass Masters, and Ball Handlers

The final pieces to the Attacker Rating Index (ARI) are shooting, passing and ball handling. The best attackers in these various categories are:

Sharpshooters

The most impactful shooters of the football amongst attackers. Our measure considers a mixture of accuracy and efficiency and, as usual, goes beyond what is the norm to tell it as it is.

Pass Masters

Our comprehensive measure of passing for attackers which considers passing effectiveness, intent, accuracy, and involvement in play. Too often passing prowess is reduced to purely a measure of accuracy, ignoring the contextual factors that contribute to accuracy and the ultimate purpose of passing, creating meaningful chances.

Ball Handlers

There is an art to keeping the ball. In the category of attackers, these are the most careful not to lose it, by hook or crook. Even better is being able to be safe in possession and a dynamic creator of chances.
