Statistic	Total	Rank The bar chart shows how the player compares to other players in the same position for each statistic in the selected league. A green bar means the player is among the best in their position for that statistic, while a red bar means they are among the worst. The length of the bar represents the player's ranking based on their percentile for each statistic. The comparison is made only with players in the same position in the selected league.
