Tottenham’s attacking involvement is effectively 15.0 players. A side spread across fourteen absorbs an absence that one built on nine does not.
55.4% of their attacking involvement is doubtful or out. Richarlison, Pedro Porro, Xavi Simons, Pape Sarr, Wilson Odobert, Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur, Cristian Romero.
Share of the squad’s non-penalty xG, plus expected assists, plus half the build-up value of its midfielders and forwards — what a player finished, what they created, and half of what they moved. Involvement rather than chances: build-up credits every player in a possession, so this says how much of the attack runs through someone, not what fraction of the chances were theirs. Defenders are left out of that half deliberately, because build-up rewards whoever starts a possession and counting it for everybody found centre-backs rather than ball-carriers. The half itself is a judgement, not a measurement: weighting it properly needs per-match lineups, and those begin this season. Penalties are left out because they describe who the club nominates rather than who creates. Contributors under 2% are not listed, though they still count towards the spread above.
