FC27 Clubs API – Please Expose More Player Stats and Exact Positions
The Clubs API/endpoints in FC26 are useful, but the player data is still too limited for proper analysis, especially when comparing players in different roles.
One of the biggest issues is position data.
At the moment, the available data generally only tells us whether someone played as a:
- Forward
- Midfielder
- Defender
- Goalkeeper
That is not detailed enough.
For proper analysis, we need the exact position a player played in each match, for example:
- ST
- LW
- RW
- CAM
- CM
- CDM
- LM
- RM
- LB
- RB
- CB
- GK
This matters because a CDM should not be compared statistically with a CAM, and a winger should not be compared with a striker just because both are classed as "forward".
The same problem applies in defence. A full-back and a centre-back have completely different responsibilities, but the current data groups them together as defenders.
It would also be very useful if FC27 exposed more of the individual post-match statistics already recorded in-game, such as:
- Tackles attempted / tackles won
- Interceptions
- Blocks
- Possession won / lost
- Duels won / lost
- Aerial duels
- Dribbles attempted / completed
- Detailed shooting stats
- Distance covered
- Any other individual performance stats already shown after matches
I run a Pro Clubs stats website for our club, and the current FC26 data makes it much easier to evaluate attacking players than defensive players.
We can calculate goals, assists, shooting rates, passing percentages and other attacking ratios, but without exact positions and deeper defensive statistics, comparisons are often unfair or misleading.
Ideally, the match data should include the player's actual position for that specific match, rather than only their broad category or preferred position.
Even if EA does not release a completely new public API, adding these fields to the existing Clubs match endpoints would make a huge difference for community stat websites, competitive leagues and Pro Clubs communities.
Please consider expanding the Clubs data available in FC27.
