Best Inazuma Eleven captains

Zanark leads the Inazuma Eleven ranking with 1380 ELO points over 58 duels, ahead of Arion and Beta.

The top of the podium appears settled, yet a 40-point gap separates Arion in second from Beta in third, the sharpest divide in the upper ranks. Zanark holds the edge by a narrow 7 ELO points over Arion, a fragile margin that keeps the summit contested. Beta, despite facing the most duels at 90, sits firmly in third with 1333 ELO points and a 62% win rate. The bottom tells a different story: Inaba languishes in last place with just 866 ELO points and a 9% win rate across 54 duels, marking the most decisive rejection by the community. Drakul sits just above with 1106 ELO points and a 42% win rate over 79 duels.

This ranking draws from 995 duels judged by 32 players across 12 GO Chrono Stone captains, last updated on 12 October 2026.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
