Form Dots
Form dots are an indicative measure of a player’s recent form. Form dots are awarded based on performances in both club and international games. Form dots are a key component of a player’s International Rating (IR). Form dots are awarded as follows:
| Rating | Form Dots Awarded | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 3 | Player of the Week |
| 9 | 2 | |
| 8 | 1 | |
| 7 | 0 | |
| 6 | 0 | |
| 5 | -1 | Potential to lose a skill point |
| 4 | -2 | Guaranteed to lose a skill point |
Each time an international side plays a fixture all the players from that nation (both senior and youth players) will have their form dots adjusted. This applies to all players regardless of whether they played in the international match or not.
