The best football player rating apps (2026)

Apps where the people you play with rate each other or vote for player of the match after a game. They differ in who rates, whether the votes are anonymous, and what the ratings go on to do. We make Squadcard, for a weekly group where everyone rates everyone: it’s number 3, marked “(ours)”. The others are described from their own listings, read on 19 October 2026. Something changed?

How we compared them

We read each app’s own listing on 19 October 2026 for:

  1. Who rates: every player, the organiser, or a player of the match vote.
  2. Anonymous or not: whether anyone can see who gave which rating.
  3. What the ratings do: pick teams, move a player card, rank a league or build stats.
  4. Price and platforms: what's free, and whether players need the app.

The numbered list is in no order of quality; each entry says what that app is best for. We didn’t test the other apps ourselves, and an app may do more than its listing says.

1. SquadBalance

Best for: ratings that exist to pick fair teams

Players rate each other from 1 to 10 from a link, anonymously: nobody can see who gave which rating, not even the organiser. No account or download for players. The ratings are used to generate balanced teams.

Free plan; paid plans · Web, with a Chrome extension

2. FutSal Squad

Best for: detailed ratings across attributes, for futsal and small-sided games

Players are rated from 1 to 99 across attributes like pace, shooting, passing and defence, and anonymous crowd ratings from the group (on the paid plans) give unbiased scores. It tracks man-of-the-match votes over time too.

Free plan; paid plans · Web, on any phone or computer

3. Squadcard (ours)

Best for: the same group every week, where everyone rates everyone

After every game everyone rates everyone else out of 10 and picks a player of the match. Only totals are ever shown, never who gave what, not even to the organiser, and once six or more people vote the highest and lowest are dropped. The ratings move each player's card and pick fair teams for next week, with a Team of the Week to share.

Questions

Which apps let football players rate each other?

SquadBalance, FutSal Squad (crowd ratings on its paid plans), Footplr and Squadcard have players rate each other. SportEasy has player ratings and an MVP vote after the game; Squadius, Five and Our League have a player of the match vote, and Foot8 records an MVP after each match. We make Squadcard, so weigh that.

Can anyone see how I rated them?

It depends on the app. SquadBalance says nobody can see who gave which rating, not even the organiser, and Five's player of the match vote is anonymous. On Squadcard only totals are shown, to everyone including the organiser.

What if someone rates their mate a 1 as a joke?

Apps handle it differently. Squadcard drops the highest and lowest votes once six or more people vote, and a card is built from many games, so one game only moves it a little. Check each app's own pages for how it works.
