Player PK FAQ

What is a player PK on Rising Transfers?
A PK is an interactive five-round football player comparison: profile basics, recent form, per-90 metrics, DNA style match, and market value. You pick a side each round; RT surfaces the underlying statistics.
How is a PK different from a stats table?
Each PK is role-aware and structured in five rounds with narrative context. Stats are normalised per 90 minutes where applicable, with DNA vectors and market-value trends in later rounds.
Does RT declare an absolute winner?
No. PK pages are built for debate: you vote round by round. RT provides data context — per-90 output, form, DNA similarity, and value — not a permanent GOAT verdict.
Does RT declare a GOAT?
No. Legacy PKs compare available statistics and milestones; friendlies and incomplete eras are flagged. The call is a tendency, not a definitive better player verdict.
Where does legacy career data come from?
Mix of RT seasonal stats, Wikidata career milestones where loaded, and market-value history — each block cites coverage limits.
