Flashscore has launched an updated player performance metric, Flashscore Rating, developed with input from former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech. The Prague-headquartered live scores platform said the new system is designed to deliver a more detailed, role-based assessment of players during matches.

According to Flashscore, Flashscore Rating combines more than 70 statistics into a single grade and weighs events beyond goals and assists, including “big chances created” and “errors leading to goals.” The company said the model also accounts for role-specific strengths such as duel dominance and dribbling, to avoid comparing players against irrelevant attacking metrics.

The rating updates continuously as matches unfold, Flashscore said, and the underlying factors are surfaced in a new Player Card. Players must play at least 10 minutes to receive a rating. Flashscore said all players are graded across Goalkeeping, Defending, Progression, Playmaking and Attacking roles, or combinations of these.

Cech said: “The new Flashscore rating is not a journalist’s opinion – it’s a data algorithm. Once the system knows which role a player was active in, it builds a rating for that specific match.

“No more goalscorers getting inflated ratings for one moment, while a midfielder who runs the game gets a forgettable 6.8. The rating isn’t fixed at kick-off and it doesn’t just apply at full-time. It updates continuously as the match unfolds. Every bonus is listed on the Player Card, where you can see exactly why a player got their number. There is no black box.

“When I played, ratings felt arbitrary. Whether it was a 6.0 or a 7.0, you never really knew what moved the needle. However, the new Flashscore rating shows the workings, and that changes everything.”

Flashscore said the ratings launch is part of a broader set of product updates timed to coincide with the World Cup. New features include Follow News Notifications for team news alerts, an updated Momentum 1.5 match dynamics visualisation with added context and statistics, and FIFA rankings shown in match details and team profiles.

Sportradar’s iGaming brand leads with bracket-style World Football x2026, plus updates to Virtual Football and Lucky 6.

Playradar, Sportradar’s iGaming brand, has released four football-themed titles ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which begins on June 11. The drop includes two original games and two updated versions of existing products.

The releases are World Football x2026, Virtual Football World Championship 2026, Football Plinko Pro, and Lucky 6: Football edition. Playradar said the games are designed to target different player segments and to connect sports bettors and casino players through content that links both verticals.

The headline launch, World Football x2026, is a bracket-based game using Mines-style mechanics. Players pick outcomes from the Round of 16 and progress through each round to the final; one incorrect prediction ends the game, while a cash-out option is available.

The other launches include Football Plinko Pro, which adapts the plinko format to a football theme; Virtual Football World Championship 2026, which Playradar said runs a 32-team, 64-match World Cup structure with pre-match and in-play markets such as over/under goals and goalscorer; and Lucky 6: Football Edition, a bingo-style title using balls with flags from participating nations.

Edo Haitin, EVP of iGaming said: “The scale of the 2026 World Cup is unprecedented, with the sheer volume of fans entering markets worldwide creating huge demand for football-themed content, and the operators best placed to succeed are those with games that meet every need. These four titles have each been designed with that in mind. The World Cup attracts a huge spectrum of customers, and when taken together, this product stack provides operators with the tools needed to keep them engaged throughout the tournament.”
