Why this exists
PlayerElo started as a curiosity: can you rate every footballer on the planet, individually, the way you rate chess players? It turns out you can. Today the model tracks 78K+ players and6K+ coaches across 176 competitions, and it updates every day.
Everything you see on this site — the rankings, the predictions, the live betting tips — is free and stays free. No paywalls, no email gates, no “upgrade to see more”.
But it does cost real money to run: API-Football data, a Hetzner server, a domain. Roughly €30 per month, plus the time to keep it healthy. If you find it useful and want to chip in, that is what this page is for.
What you get
Honestly? A thank-you and a slightly happier model maintainer. There are no perks, no “Pro features”, no early access, no Discord roles. The site is the same for everyone.
What your contribution actually buys is more days of the project being alive. That is the entire transaction. If that feels good to you, thank you sincerely.
