Heat Check

How Heat Check is calculatedBase plus capped results form, MLP form, Fantasy and market signals.

Heat Check score = Base + Results form (cap ±5) + MLP form (cap ±5) + Fantasy (cap ±4) + Market (cap ±3)

Base — average of PKLStats Rating v2 and the WPM Results rating when both exist; otherwise whichever exists. Results Elo is mapped onto the PKLStats Rating v2 scale and capped at ±12 from the median eligible rating.
Results form (cap ±5) — (win % over the last 20 matches − 50) ÷ 10.
MLP form (cap ±5) — (2026 MLP team doubles win % − 50) ÷ 10.
Fantasy (cap ±4) — 8 × (percentile of last-3-gameweek Fantasy League points − 0.5).
Market (cap ±3) — 6 × (percentile of Traders quote change since open − 0.5).
Eligible — High or Medium confidence, or 15+ counted matches since 1 January 2026. A missing signal counts 0.
