<xsl:value-of select="count(//player[number = ./number])" />
The Xpaths number and ./number will always select the same thing so your
predicate is the same as true() ie the same as no predicate.
I think you want current() not . to get the number of the current player
in $roster.
//player selects all the players in the current document which is
roster.xml at this point. I think you intend that to be in matches.xml
in which case it wants to start with $matches not with / where
$matches is defined at the top level by
<xsl:variable name="matches" select="/">
$matches/matches/week/match/player[lag='W'][number=current()/number]
I changed // to an explict path as morally it ought to be faster, but
last time I told someone to do that MK pointed out that saxon has
optimisations for // (saving previous results) not used in general so it
isn't clearly a win. In any case probably using keys would speed things
up (or at least make the optimisation explict) but best to get things
working before worrying about speed.
