How is the foul matchup read calculated?

For the upcoming fixture against North Macedonia the page weights each Scotland defender against the opposition's last-season fouls-drawn rate.

What counts as a qualifying appearance?

A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their foul rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded so the rates aren't diluted.

Does the referee affect foul counts?
