Personnel · transit screens · 85 players

Birth dates only unless a rated birth time is on file: natal points are day-wide bands, a contact counts as tight only if it holds all day, and activation is ranked against every rostered player in the sport at this chart time. Event Magnets are the 95th percentile and above, at most two per side. This layer never changes the side. 6 players ruled out for this game are not shown.
