Player image credits
Player photos are separate presentation metadata from Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, not football-provider imagery. Copyright reuse is checked; this is not a universal assessment of personality rights. Photos do not enter any model or ranking.
Images are proportionally resized, padded and converted to WebP without cropping. Derived images retain their source licence, including share-alike terms where applicable.
Photo dates and kits may differ from the selected data season. An available photo does not imply better data coverage or a stronger player.
