Independent rating — league strength (Opta-anchored) × competition tier × position-normalized output. Thin data: leans on league tier, caps and FC26 prior. Not affiliated with EA or FIFA.
Mbokazi’s selection is generational — Broos is investing in the spine of the 2030 team while also asking him to contribute now.
