What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 1 of 9 Liverpool were awarded.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 6% of Liverpool’s dead-ball danger, from 2 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered8 of 11 goals came with the game level or Liverpool behind.
  • On the pitch60% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Mohamed Salah12 shots, 3.21 xG
  • Feeds Luis Díaz5 shots, 1.76 xG
  • Fed by Mohamed Salah24 shots, 6.16 xG
  • Fed by Luis Díaz10 shots, 1.80 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Darwin Núñez. These say what would have to be replaced. Losing the penalty taker or the corner deliverer is not the same as losing a proportional slice of output, and a partnership cuts both ways: the supplier being absent damages the finisher’s numbers too.

Season record

Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Darwin Núñez carries 2.7% of Liverpool’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.235
    58% of forwards
  • Possession value per 901.108
    97% of forwards

Ranked against 107 forwards with a comparable sample. Build-up is the value of possessions a player was involved in with their own shots and final passes removed, so it credits the work before the chance. It is a possession-value measure rather than a passing one: it cannot tell a forty-yard carry from two sideways balls, because no pass or carry record exists in this data.
