Results Tracker: how to track your FC 27 stats game by game

A tracker is a record of your matches with their numbers: not just whether you won, but how. Once you have ten or twenty games saved, patterns show up that a single match never does: that you almost always lose with under 45% possession, that you take plenty of shots but few on target, or that your expected goals are high and your actual goals aren't, which points at finishing rather than chance creation.

That's the difference between practising blind and practising with data. At the academy we use it in lessons and in match analysis: the coach reads the student's history before watching a single clip and already knows where to start.

For every match it stores what the game shows on its stats screen:

• Score, opponent and date, plus the team you played with.
• Possession for both sides.
• Shots and shots on target, and expected goals (xG), which tell you what your chances were really worth.
• Passes and pass accuracy, so you know whether your build-up holds up.
• Corners, fouls and cards.

Everything stays in your account, with the full history, averages and an Excel export for when you want to run your own numbers or show them to your coach.

• First, the screenshot. When the match ends, the game shows the stats screen. Take a screenshot on your console or a photo with your phone; any common format works (JPG, PNG or WebP) as long as it's readable.
• Second, the read. You upload the image and AI extracts every stat in a few seconds. Each number carries a confidence level: the ones it read with certainty show in green, doubtful ones in yellow or red so you can check them. The only thing you have to tell it is which team you played as.
• Third, save. You review, fix whatever needs fixing and save. The match joins your history and your averages immediately. From your phone it takes less time than typing the score into a note.

A tracker is only useful if you read it. Three comparisons give you more than anything else:

• Expected goals against goals scored. If your xG beats your goals game after game, the problem is finishing, not how you get there. If it's the other way round, you're scoring more than you create and the run won't last.
• Shots against shots on target. Lots of shots and few on target usually means forced efforts from distance or bad angles; the guide on how to create chances in FC 27 explains how to tell a chance from a good chance.
• Possession in defeats and in wins. If you lose with plenty of the ball, you lack depth; if you lose with little of it, the problem is your build-up or how you defend transitions.

With those three numbers you can choose what to practise, instead of replaying games and hoping something changes.

AI reads what it sees, so the screenshot decides everything. Three habits that save corrections: capture the full stats screen with no menus on top; if it's a photo of your TV, avoid reflections and focus on the centre; and upload the match right after it ends, while you still remember which team you played as and who against. If a stat shows in red, compare it with the screen before saving: fixing it takes two seconds and keeps a false average out of your history.

Anyone with a PlayMuchBetter account, which is free, gets three trial scans to try the tracker on their own matches. Unlimited use comes with the academy subscription, the same one that unlocks the videos and lessons, and it can also be switched on for a while with credits. The data is yours: it exports to Excel whenever you want.
