Resumo(s)
This study aimed to analyze the centrality levels of elite football players. Tactical positions and
tactical line-ups were considered factors to be used in analyzing the variance in the prominence of
players, measured by social network measures. The best 16 teams from the UEFA Champions league
were analyzed during the entire competition. A total of 109 matches were analyzed for this study.
Significant statistical differences between positions were found in % indegree (p = 0.001; ES = 0.268,
moderate effect), % outdegree (p = 0.001; ES = 0.301, moderate effect) and % betweenness (p = 0.001;
ES = 0.114, minimum effect). No statistical differences between tactical line-ups in % outdegree (p =
1.000; ES = 0.001, no effect) or % indegree (p = 1.000; ES = 0.001, no effect) were found. Central
midfielders had the greatest values of centrality, thus confirming their importance in the linkage process
of the team. Position had great influence on the centrality levels of players.
