Rank 06 · 2026 race
Désiré Doué
Paris Saint Germain · France · Forward
Real-data provisional ranking
Every displayed component is computed from current API-Football fixture, event, player-stat, standings, and pre-match Elo evidence. The ranking remains provisional—not illustrative—until the locked 2024–2025 historical holdout gate is complete.
#6 in the index
No change since the previous snapshot
Explanation
Désiré Doué ranks #6 on 77.2. Match-swinging contribution is the strongest relative component; Availability & consistency is the clearest constraint. This temporary deterministic explanation will be replaced by the build-time AI Gateway pass.
Why the rank moved
This is the first real-data snapshot, so no ranking movement is claimed.
Jury context
Football case vs. vote environment.
This research layer estimates visibility and recognition around the journalist ballot. It never changes the player’s 100-point football merit score.

Preview formula: 92% merit score + 8% jury context. The 8% is a configurable research hypothesis and must survive the historical holdout before NinetyIQ treats this as a validated forecast.

Base → nine components → 77.2
Each bar adds its published contribution. The final bar must equal the exact sum of the components or the build fails.
