All fit scores
Fit scores run 0–100: how strongly this player matches each mold, blended from his league percentiles in that archetype's key stats (the bars above show those percentiles — e.g. "98th" = better than 98% of the league). A player only earns a tag when the score clears that archetype's minimum floor — full formulas in the archetypes guide.
